Example 6: Via PostgreSQL
This topic introduces how to set up a JDBC Connection via PostgreSQL.
Assume that:
- You have already installed PostgreSQL driver, and have appended the archive files of the driver to the ADDCLASSPATH variable in the file setenv.bat in
<designer_install_root>\bin
. - The PostgreSQL database server is with the following information:
Driver: org.postgresql.Driver
URL: jdbc:postgresql://qad04.jinfonet.com.cn:5432/postgres
User: jrDesign
Password: Test1234 - A catalog has been created with a default data source.
Take the following steps to set up a connection which connects Logi JReport Designer to a database via PostgreSQL:
- Start Logi JReport Designer and open the catalog.
- In the Catalog Manager, right-click the node of the default data source and select New JDBC Connection from the shortcut menu. Select JDBC in the Select Connection Type dialog.
- In the Get JDBC Connection Information dialog, enter the JDBC driver class name org.postgresql.Driver in the Driver text field.
- In the URL text field, specify the URL as jdbc:postgresql://qad04.jinfonet.com.cn:5432/postgres.
- Input the user name jrDesign and password Test1234 respectively.
- Select OK to set up the connection.
