Re: JDBC 4 Compliance

Kevin,

Thanks for pointing that out.
I noticed the same also. You are also probably aware of the recent turmoil
regarding the security problems with Java and Oracle's efforts to push at
least Java 7u21 and preferably Java 7u25 to the masses.

Oracle has stated that Java 6u45 has been archived and recommends Java 7.

My original email was not sent as a complaint, but more as an inquiry as to
when the PostgreSQL JDBC4 driver (that more closely adheres to the Java 7
JDBC API) might be made available to the development community.

I am a long time PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL JDBC driver user and have been
quite happy with PostgreSQL for quite some time now.

Thank you for your timely responses, and I applaud your efforts and the
efforts of other JDBC driver team members in continuing to provide
developers of Java/PostgreSQL applications a quality JDBC driver.

Best regards,

Robert Bruchs

Yes. You are referencing the Java 7 documentation which, as I referenced
previously, is JDBC 4.1; the mainstream driver does not currently only
covers JDBC 4.

If you look at the same Java 6 docs
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html),
which is JDBC 4, you'll see that there is no 24th column.
