Thread: Moving from 7.2.1 to 8.1.5 - looking for jdbc
Hello, I work with a product which uses postgresql internally. I build postgresql from source for Solaris SPARC and Linux. So far I have been using 7.2.1 but lately I realized that it has long been obsolete and I chose to move to 8.1.5. In my earlier build system, I was patching a couple of source files in the source tree before carrying out the build. Currently I see, there is no src/interface/jdbc directory. One of the files I was patching was the Statement.java source. I am in a fix. Do I need to separately download the jdbc drivers and build them into a jar file? More importantly, I am a little concerned about what all major changes have happened that will likely affect my build. What all has moved out of the tar that is available for download ( I am talking about postgresql-<ver>.tar.gz ). - Arindam

See the release notes: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/release.html You will need to dig too much to track the changes between 7.2 and 8.1.5.
