Installing the JDBC Driver (Optional)

This section describes how to install the Vertica JDBC driver. For more information about the JDBC driver, refer to the Connecting With JDBC section of the SQL Programmer's Guide or to the documentation on the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver Web site.

  1. Copy the jar file from its default location to a location on your client system that is within the CLASSPATH environment variable used by your JDBC client application. The default location of the jar file is:

    /opt/vertica/client/JDBC/jars/vertica.jar

    You may need root privileges to perform this step, depending on your client system configuration.

  2. Make sure that the permissions on the jar file allow it to be read and executed by any user.
