Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading my company’s JDK to 1.6 and have a few questions about the recommended JDBC driver. The Postgres JDBC site suggests using the latest (9.0-801) JDBC4 driver with JDK 1.6. However the site also mentions some not so inspiring comments on the latest driver including “Support for JDBC4 methods is limited. The driver builds, but the several of the new methods are stubbed out”. This makes me wonder how worthy of an upgrade it is, since the driver’s only been production ready for less than 2 months and doesn’t fully implement the JDBC4 interface.
Of the new JDBC4 features I’m most excited about the enhanced exception handling and XML support, given this, can anyone please provide a meaningful reason why I should upgrade the driver? What if any are the known bugs associated with the latest JDBC4 driver and what functionality in particular is stubbed out?
Thanks in advance,
nathan
