Hi,
Is there a way to connect to a PostgreSQL database? If so, where can I
find any software/docs/howto's/examples ? If not, is there anyone
working at such connectivity?
TIA
Joost
Cheers,
Joost

Joost,
I was able to get a very rudimentary connection to a PostgreSQL database
by creating a driver definition (choose "Apache Derby" then change the
name and values). The following values where specified:
Driver File: <point at your JDBC driver for PostgreSQL>
Driver Class: org.postgresql.Driver
Datbase Name: postgres
Connection URL: jdbc:postgresql:postgres
User ID: postgres
Password: <your password>
Upon connection, I was able to expand down to the "Schemas" level in the
Data Source Explorer. The reason why a full tree is not shown is because
we do not yet have a generic JDBC model and content provider. We are
working on these currently, and hope to have them available in the near
term. Once this is in place, then you should be able to connect to any
JDBC enabled database and get a tree in the Data Source Explorer that
shows essential content based on JDBC. The idea would then be to
specialize this model and content provider for particular databases, to
enable access to specific characteristics and features.

Joost,
It's there in M3! :-) If you create a generic JDBC driver definition
using the values mentioned earlier in this thread, then a connection
profile based on that, then I am able to get a full content tree in DSE.

We are investigating why the correct types are not displayed. The
exception noticed by Haris has been fixed, and that code will appear in
the next iteration build this week.

There's a variety of documents on the three DTP project sites (Model Base,
Connectivity, SQL Dev) about plans and designs -- we do not have a
consolidated document for these. For generic JDBC connections we intend to
show a base amount of information that the generic models can deliver
without further database-specific specialization. We hope that this it
useful in itself, and also serves as a base where the community can build
out specializations for particular databases.

Yep, I get a tree also. The columns of the tables however do not show
the correct types (it displays "bigint" for "text") . I also get the
same exception as Haris Peco.
Is there a document that descibes clearly what to expect from this and
the final release of the DTP in terms of functionality?
Joost
Cheers,
Joost
