JNDI Connection In Pentaho

Question

I have added below codes in jdbc.properties present in Pentaho Spoon tool

test_conn/type=javax.sql.DataSource
test_conn/driver=org.postgresql.Driver
test_conn/url=jdbc:postgres://dummyurl.com:5432/postgres
test_conn/user=testuser
test_conn/password=12345

When selecting JNDI as access method in Pentaho Spoon,I'm getting below error

Error connecting to database [Test DB] 
:org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException: 
Error occurred while trying to connect to the database
No suitable driver found for jdbc:postgres://

The credentials are proper as I'm able to connect DB from other sources(PgAdmin)..

Any help how to resolve above error?

Answer 1

The correct syntax for the url is jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database and not jdbc:postgres://host:port/database .
