Re: Strange behaviour of JDBC driver for PostgreSQL

The information that is correct is the one from the localhost (version
7.2.2)
I've never used such a version (6.x.x).

I've downloaded the 7.3 driver (pg73jdbc3.jar) and... It happened the
same (even with the same line numbers in the SQLException's stack
trace). I'm sure I made no mistake!
Note: I'm also sure there are no more Postgres installations in the
network.
