The driver must be defined on your CLASSPATH before you
can connect. The CLASSPATH is the search string your Java Virtual Machine (JVM) uses to
locate JDBC drivers on your computer. If the driver is not defined on your CLASSPATH,
you will receive a class not found exception when
trying to load the driver. Set your system CLASSPATH to include the driver jar file as
shown, where install_dir is the path to your product
installation directory.
install_dir/lib/60/postgresql.jar
Windows Example
CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files\Progress\DataDirect\JDBC\lib\60\postgresql.jar
UNIX Example
CLASSPATH=.:/opt/Progress/DataDirect/JDBC/lib/60/postgresql.jar
