Trouble connecting to a postgreSQL database on a server

Hi,

being new to databases I struggled through the sequences of installing drivers, setting paths etc etc. Finally I treid to connect to the local database by the following command:

 conn = database('seriousservergame','DBA','',...
                'Vendor','PostgreSQL',...
                'Server','Servoy');

when inspecting conn I get the following result:

 conn =

       Instance: 'seriousservergame'
       UserName: 'DBA'
         Driver: []
            URL: []
    Constructor: [1x1 com.mathworks.toolbox.database.databaseConnect]
        Message: 'The connection attempt failed.'
         Handle: 0
        TimeOut: 0
     AutoCommit: 'off'
           Type: 'Database Object'

Is there anybody who can explain why I get this message?

thanks in advance

Francois - have you verified that the username is DBA and that the password is an empty string?

Hi Geoff,

yes I did, so that shouldn't be the problem.
