It's a type 4 driver - as in it is pure Java, and talks to the database in
the database's own network protocol.

There is more documentation, but it is currently stuck on one of my backup
CD's.

I've had a major hardware disaster here, and have had to rebuild the

For the interim, there is a FAQ at http://www.retep.org.uk/postgres
