Paul M. Aoki (aoki@acm.org) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
no meaningful way to determine fe or be version?

Long Description
both the odbc and jdbc drivers seem to hardcode the database version, e.g., org/postgresql/jdbc2/DatabaseMetaData.java
alwaysreturns "6.5.2" when you call getDatabaseProductVersion(). 

it would be nice if the metadata routines were actually tied to something returned from the backend.

Sample Code
