Troubleshooting
Problem
While trying to connect to the Cloudscape database with WebSphere Application Server, you receive an "Error 08001:no suitable driver" error.
Cause
This error is usually due to an incorrect classpath for the driver or an incorrect database URL. It can also occur if you don't use a ";" as a separator between the database URL and any options on the command.
For example, if you use the following ij.sh command to create and populate the database:
ij> connect 'jdbc:db2j:$CLOUDSCAPE_HOME/databases/PRODIGIODB:create=true';
this will cause an Error 08001:no suitable driver
Resolving The Problem
The correct command is as follows:
ij> connect 'jdbc:db2j:$CLOUDSCAPE_HOME/databases/PRODIGIODB;create=true';
Replace the colon with a semicolon behind the database name PRODIGIODB.
