Re: java access to the backend (non jdbc)?

Sorry, I don't think I made myself clear.  I don't want to query the DB
every few seconds to get its current status.  I want to keep an open an
open connection and have immediate access to all information like I have
when I set the debug level high and see everything going on inside the
DB right on my machine.

I guess think of it as a dashboard that constantly displays the db
status.  Something like 'top' rather than 'ps -ef|grep .....'.

As far as I understand, JDBC is just a mechanism to connect to a db,
execute queries, etc., not get this kind of info.

Well, we have jdbc at jdbc.postgresql.org.
