Only if you don't have JDBC drivers for the database. > Not sure how this is done under Unix or even if it necessary. This: http://spike.oli.tudelft.nl/jochemd/index.cfm?PageID=15 describes how to connect CFMX to PostgreSQL via JDBC. This was written from a CFMX Windows perspective, but should be fine for Unix. The JDBC drivers are available at http://jdbc.postgresql.org The tricky part will be making sure the JDBC driver is in the right area. Either find where the JVM has its CLASSPATH pointed to and put the driver there, or put the driver somewhere and add that to the CLASSPATH. Of course with CF it's usually just a matter of putting the JAR file into the wwwroot/WEB-INF/classes directory and cycling the server.
