Postgres Driver.
H-
Can anyone point me in the direction of a postgres driver so I can hook
up JSP to work with my postgres database?
I checked the Postgres website and it's down. 8^(
I'm getting
javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to load class postgresql.Driver
errors when I attempt it.
I believe that's the problem.
Thanks for any information anyone can provide.
Thanks.

Thanks for your email.
I found another page that has the download file but not for my version.
I'm using postgres 6.5.3.
Here's the page in case others are looking for it.
http://www.retep.org.uk/postgres/download.html
The closest version I found on this page is 6.5.2. Would it be a problem to use
this version instead?
I really don't know.

No ... I downloaded the ***Postgres 7.0.3 source distribution***, and unpacked
it
locally on my system. On the web site front page there was a link to the
"Downloads" area.

If you have the source distribution of 6.5.3 you should have the sources for the
JDBC driver in there as well. I think it was even in the same place
(src/interfaces/jdbc).

H-
Thanks for the reply.
I ftp'd into posrgresql.org but didn't find any src directory. 8^(
Are you saying that you went into this directory and downloaded a file that you
compiled on your system (using root) and it than was able to be called via JSP?
Or was there some other setup and README.txt file that came with it that you
had to use to set it up?
Any other thoughts on where I could find this file in some other location? How
big is this file? KB's or MB's? What's the name of the file? Do you know the
name?
I went to the website and found some ftp directories but nothing that looked
like what I was looking for. I did find a 'source' directory but it didn't have
an interfaces directory. 8^(
I'm using 6.5.3 postgres. Would it be easier to just dl the lastest and
greatest and install that? Would that be a valuable solution? Or would I still
need to locate this extra file and get it somewhere?
Thanks again for any further info.

I got my driver by downloading the Postgres source distribution from
<http://www.postgresql.org>. It's in the "src/interfaces/jdbc" directory,
including a makefile to build it (postgresql.jar).
