JDBC on Postgres 8.3

Hello All

We have a programmer who is wanting to access our PostgreSQL 8.3 database using JDBC connectivity thorough some Oracle Query tool. I have read from the JDBC site in regards to installing this and have some questions. I will be installing the JDBC driver on RHEL4 what version of the driver should I use? The programmer said JDBC3 or 4 would work fine. Also what java do I install? One more questions and I will be quiet. What environment variables need to be set for Java? Thanks for any advice that you could share with me.

Thanks
