Using Postgres with Grails
grails, postgresql
Solution
From the FAQ: "[if] you get a runtime error that says 'No suitable driver found', it is likely that the URL passed to DriverManager.getConnection is malformed or otherwise incorrect". So what's wrong with yours? Well, the examples in the tutorial look like this:
jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/grails
Yours looks like this:
jdbc:postgres://10.0.0.21:5432/tribes
I'm guessing those missing two letters are causing your trouble.
Problem
Has anyone gotten Grails working with Postgres? I have used this tutorial and everything seems to make sense and be correct to me. However when I 'grails run-app' I get this error ``` Cannot create JDBC driver of class 'org.postgresql.Driver' for connect URL 'jdbc:postgres://10.0.0.21/tribes' java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver ``` My DataSource file is ``` dataSource { pooled = true driverClassName = "org.postgresql.Driver" dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect } hibernate { cache.use_second_level_cache=true cache.use_query_cache=true cache.provider_class='com.opensymphony.oscache.hibernate.OSCacheProvider' } // environment specific settings environments { development { dataSource { dbCreate = "update" url = "jdbc:postgres://10.0.0.21:5432/tribes" username = "grails" password = "grails" } } test { dataSource { dbCreate = "update" url = "jdbc:postgres://10.0.0.21:5432/tribes" username = "grails" password = "grails" } } production { dataSource { dbCreate = "update" url = "jdbc:postgres://10.0.0.21:5432/tribes" username = "grails" password = "grails" } } } ```
