unable to connect to cloudscape

[jonathan Greens]

I used Class.forName("com.ibm.db2j.jdbc.DB2jDriver"); to load the driver, it executed correctly.
Then When I try to connect to "jdbc:cloudscape:xxx;create=true";
or just "jdbc:cloudscape:xxx"
I get
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:559)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:211)
what's wrong?
thanks

Jonathan,
I think the prefix for cloudscape is db2j. Try:

jdbc:db2j:C:\....\MyDatabase;create=true

Jeane,
thanks! that helps.
I have run into another problem when I try to execute the query against cloudscape. This query works fine in other databases like access but fails here. what's wrong? It seems like the ',' is causing some trouble.

CREATE TABLE Users(lastName varchar,firstName varchar,userName varchar,password varchar,email varchar,gender varchar,adminPriv varchar,securityQuestion varchar,securityAnswer varchar,bDayYear varchar,bDayMonth varchar,bDayDate varchar,title varchar,organization varchar,address1 varchar,address2 varchar,city varchar,state varchar,zip varchar,email2 varchar,enabled varchar)

I found the problem, it seems like I need to specify the length n for varchar, i don't have to do this for ms access.

Jonathan,
Thanks for sharing the solution (with the comma) and glad to hear it is working.
