Loading the Driver

Load the database driver before creating a database connection.

You can load the driver in the following ways:
  • Before creating a connection, implicitly load the driver in the code: Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver")
  • During the JVM startup, transfer the driver as a parameter to the JVM: java -Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver jdbctest

    jdbctest is the name of a test application.
