Re: Upgrading is a pain: JDBC Driver loading problems

Michael,

You are probably trying to use a driver compiled for Java 2. You shouls use one
for Java version 1.1. One is available at http://jdbc.fastcrypt.com . Maybe there
are others. I am not a maintainer.

org.postgresql.Driver is the good one.
