Question

I have a small Java file interacting with a postgresql database,
so I’ve downloaded the drivers and in my file I import org.postgresql.Driver.

In the command console I type javac Myfilename.java ;
then it compiles I run java Myfilename and it throws an error saying it can not find the org.postgresql.Driver files.

So how do I import the jar when I run the file or when I compile the file not sure when the import should take place?

Answer 1

Compile:

javac -cp ".:postresql.jar" -d . MyFileName.java

Run:

java -cp ".:postresql.jar" MyFileName
