Hi

Can anyone tell me how to establish a connection to the University Postgres
database using JDBC. I've looked at loads of books and Web sites on the
topic but I can't really get my head around it!

This is what I've got but it's not working:

import java.sql.*;

public class Connect
{
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

    String url = "jdbc:odbc:PostgreSQL";
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(penguin.kent.ac.uk,
"myusername", "mypassword");

}

Any help would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.
