Thread: A newbie-oriented jdbc FAQ
Hi- It seems that we get similar questions from new folks on this list regularly. I notice them because newbie questions are all I'm qualified to answer so far, being a recent newbie myself. I've organized the answers to some of these questions into a FAQ and "jdbc installation for newcomers" page. If anyone has a free moment to take a look at it, I'd appreciate feedback. There is a slight overlap with the documentation at jdbc.postgresql.org & Peter Mount's instructions in the PGSQL programmer's manual. The difference is that my version assumes a little less starting knowledge & addresses some of the common errors that people make when starting out. http://www.fankhausers.com/postgresql/jdbc/ Suggestions are welcome. -Nick -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick Fankhauser nickf@ontko.com Phone 1.765.935.4283 Fax 1.765.962.9788 Ray Ontko & Co.

Barry Lind has offered to post or link from jdbc.postgresql.org, so we'll do that once all suggestions are incorporated. -Nick > > > On Mon, 29 Oct 2001 08:27:19 -0500, you wrote: > >I've organized the answers to some of these questions into a FAQ and > >"jdbc installation for newcomers" page.
