I need to connect DbVisualizer to HSQLDB. I’ve installed both on my mac (OSX 10.6.9). I’ve installed DbVisualized 8.0.5, and HSQLDB. I have both open, but when I try to ping the server, I receive the error message: "Cannot connect to 'localhost' on port 9001." The message below shows up in the Connection Message window:
An error occurred while establishing the connection:
Long Message:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
Details:
Type: java.sql.SQLTransientConnectionException
Error Code: -1301
SQL State: 08001
By default, when you run the HSQLDB Server, it shows some messages in the window. The last maessage should indicate susseful startup.
When you ping from DbVis, the server rejects the data because it’s not valid data for making a connection. It shows an exception. This is normal behaviour. On the DBVis side, it should return success after the ping.
You should then connect from DbVis and it should work.
You must use the same HSQLDB jar on both DbVis and HSQLDB (you probably have done this).
You can also double check by executing the HSQLDB (version 2.2.x) jar, which brings up its own database manager and allows you to connect to the server.
One likely cause is network problems. You can try the IP address 127.0.0.1 instead of ‘localhost’
