BUG #1624: connect uses properties before URL - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1624
Logged by:          Tom Donovan
Email address:      tdonovan@macromedia.com
PostgreSQL version: 8-0-311
Operating system:   Windows 2000
Description:        connect uses properties before URL
Details:

The JDBC DriverManager calls connect() in all loaded drivers to find a
driver for a URL.

The PostgreSQL driver iterates the properties before checking if it is a
PostgreSQL URL.  If properties for any other driver are large (i.e. for an
in-memory db) or not String (as they should be) - this fails.

Recommend adding one line at
postgresql-jdbc-8.0-311.src\org\postgresql\Driver.java.in   line 203

    if (! url.toLowerCase().startsWith("jdbc:postgresql:")) return null;  //
not our URL
