Re: Debian and Postgres

I can connect via psql and issue queries without any problems. Trying
to connect via JDBC fails. Trying to connect by an application fails.

one potential difference, psql will connect via a unix domain socket if you  don't specify a -h hostname, while JDBC can only connect via a tcp socket.      jdbc connecting to localhost will match `host` lines in the pg_hba.conf file, while psql connecting without a host specification will match `local` line(s).

so, please show us your jdbc connection string, and your psql command line, and also show us your pg_hba.conf file.
