Dear my friends... I found this codes in the "internet guide" of Adabas D for doing the connection with JDBC to Adabas D : === import java.sql.*; public class konek { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hallo Indonesia"); try { Class.forName("de.sag.jdbc.adabasd.aDriver"); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e){ system.out.println("JDBC driver for Adabas D not found"); }; try { java.sql.Connection con = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:adabasd://susefujitsu/prabusoft", "control", "duisburg"); } catch (java.sql.SQLException e) { system.out.println("Error " + e.getErrorCode() + " " + e.getMessage()); } } } === I put my JDBC driver under "/usr/sag/aad/v1201/lib/adabasd.jar". I don't understand this line : " Class.forName("de.sag.jdbc.adabasd.aDriver"); " Is it different on my my case? I mean, how should I do it on my case? Is there no difference? Where should I define the location of my JDBC Driver? and should I load it? Sorry pal, I am absolutely new in JDBC. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
