Re: JDBC driver versions

Okay, I saw that, but I just wanted to double check. It seemed odd that there were builds going all the way back to 8.2 if the 9.2 version should work for everything.

Thanks for the reassurance :-)

Do I need a separate build with an up to date JDBC jar for 9.2 while I am testing out a new database or is it safe to use the latest JDBC jar with a very old version of postgres?

It supports Postgresql 7.2 or newer and requires a 1.5 or newer JVM. It contains support for SSL and the javax.sql package. It comes in two flavours, JDBC3 and JDBC4. If you are using the 1.6 or 1.7 JVM, then you should use the JDBC4 version.
