Answer 1

As the error says java -cp . JdbcPostgresqlConnection java.sql.SQLException: 
No suitable driver found for jdbc:postgresql://localhost: 5432/testDBMS

Which means you didnot include the postgresql.jar in your classpath

Try executing like this and I'm assuming it is Windows OS by seeing your error

java -cp .;pathOfYourDriverjar/postgresql.jar JdbcPostgresqlConnection
