Re: JDBC 4 Compliance

Obviously I'm willing and able to donate a large amount of time to a JDBC driver for PostgreSQL...

My only issue at this point is that I have a large investment of time in the alternative driver I created. It's near complete and supports all of the advanced features the mainstream driver is lacking. It has a lot going for it in terms of clean architecture as well (my completely biased opinion of course). I am not really interested in abandoning my efforts only to try and enhance the current driver. So if there is no clear way to migrate much or all of it into the mainstream driver; I am not sure how much time I would have left.
