I don't know whether this has to do with PostgreSQL, gcj, or Mandrake
Linux, but I mention this here in case someone has a nice workaround.
The expression
new org.postgresql.Driver().acceptsURL("jdbc:postgresql:astro")
is false using gcj from gcc-java-3.2-1mdk (Mandrake Linux 9.0) with
jdbc7.2dev-1.2.jar from postgresql-jdbc-7.2.2-1.1mdk. Try it!
Obviously, it's supposed to be true, and it is if I use jikes-1.16-2mdk
with j2re-1.4.1-fcs.
Suggestions are appreciated but not necessary. I'm not on the
pgsql-jdbc mailing list (I found it on the web), so please Cc me on
messages in this thread.
