My memory seems to be failing, yes, you will probably need a newer driver.

>> Folks-

>> We're in the process of upgrading our postgresql install from 8.3 to
>> 9.1.2. Our main application is using postgresql-8.3-606.jdbc3.jar against
>> the existing postgresql database. (Java jdk1.6.0_29, Oracle's version, not
>> OpenJDK. Its in use by hibernate. (Other Java applications use the database
>> too, but mostly via hibernate or rbatis)
>>
>> My questions are:
>> 1) is it necessary to upgrade the jdbc jar file to the 9.1 version, or is

>> 2) Even though we are not using features from the JDBC4 version, should we

>> 3) Is there any potential issues if an application is using the latest 9.1
>> JDBC driver against postgresql 8.3.x database?
>>
>> Obviously, we're hoping not to require an updated jar file, and just delay
