Question

I am trying to follow the instructions here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/clojure-web-application

Everything is going okay until the step where I type

(sql/with-connection (System/getenv "DATABASE_URL")
     (sql/create-table :testing [:data :text]))

into Leiningen’s REPL. I get this error:

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Something unusual has occured to cause the driver to fail.  Please report this exception.  (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0)

And then, Leiningen won’t even execute the (exit) function. What gives?

Help please, and thank you.

export DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost/shouter
