Hello postgresql team,
I'am trying to connect to the posgresql database through JDBC and it
doesn't function.
1. I have made the postgresql.jar through the command "make jdbc2" -as
it is described in /src/interfaces/jdbc/ source- and it is copied to my
CLASSPATH
2. I have an access to the database through "psql" (the name of the
database is "test").
3.with this piece of code I'am trying to connect the data base:
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver"); // load database interface
// connect to the database
String url = "jdbc:postgresql://gemini:6666/test";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
/*gemini is the host where the postgresql had been started*/
/*I entered the the absolute location of gemini and it doesn't functions
too.*/
but during the running of my java code I get these Errors:
java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException.translate(PSQLException.java, Compiled
Code)

The port (6666)was defined during the installation.
Can you tell me please where could be the probleme
Thank you for your help in advance
