I'm using JDK1.1.6v4a on a libc system, and
everything seems to be working fine.
I installed the SOLID web server database and
the SOLID JDBC driver, then tried out their bundled sample applications and
applets. Strange thing is , the applets work fine, but the applications do not.
Now, the applications require you to type in the
jdbc connect string at the prompt. Try as I might, I kept getting an 'No
suitable driver' error. BUT, when I run the applet, the connection works fine
and I can do all my queries and stuff with the JDBC driver.
This tells me a couple of things:
1. the JDBC driver is probably
working
2. the SOLID server database is
working
3. there's probably something wrong with the
syntax.
After looking through the code for the sample
programs, I couldn't find any difference between the applet code and the
application code (where establishing the connection is concerned), so I got to
thinking what I'm doing wrong ...
Is it possible that the application reads the
Carriage Return as another character ? Is that why the connect string is
(always) wrong ? If that is so, how can I suppress the Carriage Return
?
I'm using Slackware 3.5, running WindowMaker and
I have the problem whenever I use Rxvt and/or xterm.
Any help will be deeply appreciated
!
