Driver for postgresql

[nehashri]

Hi,
I am using postgresql 8.1 an I am trying to connect to the postsql from
JSP and servlets in linux platform but I cannot find the driver name for the postgresql so I can use it in the jsp connection.

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks,
neha

If you want to use JDBC you may need to read this:

thnx for the reply but wat is the adv of jdbc over odbc in postgresql as back end n frontend connection with jsp.........

Advantages could be the wrong starting point for you.
I think you may need to consider your environment, platform, tools, API, etc.
If you're in Java, then JDBC could provide a more natural interface, although it is still built on ODBC, so if you have a prior experience with ODBC you may find it helpful.

You may find more information in these references:
