I'm an absolute beginner with Hibernate.
I installed it and am following the instructions to run it against a postgres DB.
After doing:
build eg
the script successfully creates some tables but stops here:

BUILD FAILED

Postgres is 7.4.2 on RedHat Linux 8
I'm running Hibernate on XP using java 1.4.2_01
The postgress driver is pg72jdbc.jar

Thanks in advance

looks like a bug in your postgres driver

Thanks for the reply.

Is anyone using hibernate successfully with Postgresql?
What driver version are you using?

Thanks

You need 74 jdbc driver
