Can someone help me with this code:

I get an error:

I downloaded:
postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc3, the newiest driver JDBC and puted in the same folder where this code is.

You don't put the driver jar in the same folder where the code is.
You need to run your program with the -cp flag pointing to the location (path and name) of the jar file.
Now is a good time to start reading about classpath.

Why do people always leave those generated comment lines untouched?

kind regards,

But what i can do if i am using NetBeans?

You add the jar file to your project's build path or similar.

The truth though is that you need to read and learn about that classpath thing.
Your code is not going to live in Netbeans forever.

Add it to the project list of dependencies?
There's a list of libraries the project needs...

Can you give me full example how i should compile this?

Netbeans does it all for you...and packages it all up nicely in a dist directory, with all relevant jars.

All you need to do is ensure the correct jar files are part of the project.

Yes, now i don't have problems with this at netbeans. But I wnat to compile this at linux with comand line. I have this file:
runSample1Jdbc.sh
In it is code:
#!/bin/sh
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/java/postgresql.jar
javac Main.java
java Main
And this have to work for me, but i don't now how to compile

Then go and read the Oracle tutorials?
And why do you have a script that compiles and then runs?
Surely you only want to compile once?
