RE: problem with driver

Ok, no such driver means that either you are not loading the driver, or
theres a syntax error in the jdbc url you are providing.

1: Load the driver. For pre 7.0 backends, the driver class is
postgresql.Driver whereas for 7.0 and later its org.postgresql.Driver

You have several methods of loading it. For java applications you can use
the-Djdbc.drivers=postgresql.Driver
parameter to java, or the line:Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");

2: The JDBC url MUST begin with jdbc:postgresql:

ie:    jdbc:postgresql:test            for local db'sjdbc:postgresql://host/database    for remote databases
