<h1>About</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>PostgreSQL JDBC Driver</strong> (<em>PgJDBC</em> for short) allows Java programs to connect to a PostgreSQL database using standard,
|
|
database independent Java code. Is an open source JDBC driver written in Pure Java (Type 4), and communicates in
|
|
the PostgreSQL native network protocol.<br/><br/>
|
|
The current version of the driver should be compatible with <strong>PostgreSQL 8.2 and higher</strong>,
|
|
and <strong>Java 6</strong> (JDBC 4.0), <strong>Java 7</strong> (JDBC 4.1), <strong>Java 8</strong> (JDBC 4.2) and <strong>Java 9</strong>.<br/><br/>

<h1>Features</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The driver provides a reasonably complete implementation of the JDBC specification in addition
|
|
to some PostgreSQL specific extensions. Our goal is nothing short of full compliance, but we're not
|
|
there yet. Some features require additional backend support and others just need someone to implement
|
|
them. For a list of what still needs to be done see our <a href="../development/todo.html">Todo</a>
|
|
list.
