Error While connecting to postgresql with pyspark in shell - org.postgresql.Driver Class not found exception

Question

I am running the following program in pyspark shell:

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

spark = SparkSession \ 
    .builder \ 
    .appName("Python Spark SQL basic example") \
    .config("spark.jars", "/home/airflow/postgresql-42.2.10.jar") \
    .getOrCreate()


df = spark.read \
   .format("jdbc") \
   .option("url", "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/testdb") \
   .option("dbtable", "testdb.Customer") \
   .option("user", "abc") \
   .option("driver", "org.postgresql.Driver") \
   .option("password", "xyz") \
   .load()

it is throwing following error:

  File "<stdin>", line 7, in <module>
  File "/opt/spark/python/pyspark/sql/readwriter.py", line 172, in load
    return self._df(self._jreader.load())
