PostgreSQL connection in the designer

To work with real data in the Jaspersoft designer, set up a connection to the database. Besides PostgreSQL, XML, CSV and other DBMS are possible (load drivers if needed).

Steps

Open New Data Adapter.
Add a new connection in the overview dialog.
Choose the connection type Database JDBC connection.
Enter the connection data: name, driver (PostgreSQL), host/port/database name, DB user and password.
Test the connection – save on success; it is then available for selection.
