Hi,
I am wondering whether the JDeveloper can connect to the PostgreSQL, running on linux?
and how to connect them.This isn't a configuration we've tried ourselves, however the steps for all 3rd party JDBC drivers are essentially the same.
In short:
1) Put your .jar or .zip file for your JDBC driver in the $JDEV_HOME/jdev/lib/ext directory
2) Restart JDeveloper
3) Create a connection
3a) choose 3rd party JDBC driver
3b) on page 3: enter the full class name and then URL for your connection. The postgres documentation for the jdbc driver should have information as to the format of the URL and the class name which implements java.sql.Driver
4) Also, you'll want to make a library also which contains this JDBC driver and add this newly created library to each project which will be using the postgres jdbc driver.
Hope this helps,
Rob
