This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
1. Rightclick "Databases" node and choose "New Connection...". 2. Choose PostgreSQL driver. 3. Type DB name according to a message at the bottom. Click "OK" since there is no other messages. Result: Error message appears and URL in it without host. Host name should be obligatory to specify or it should have some default value if it is not specified (for example IDE always tries to connect to localhost by default if host isn't specified, the same about port). I filed different issue than MySQL, since there is a difference between obligatory fields for different DBs, for example for Oracle everything is fine. For better tracking I will file one issue against each DB. I can close them all after they will be fixed.

That duplicate entry was incorrect.
Reassigned to new owner.
A patch was committed as: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/47cfe16efad5 This allows setting sample urls for all JdbcUrls instead for just three special cases. In this case postgresql sample was added.
