Thread: PostgreSQL 8.2.x and JDBC driver

Hello List,

I am not sure that this is the appropriated list but I try...
I try to used BenchmarkSQL (release 2.3.2, built on February 12, 2006)
with PostgreSQL 8.2.2 and then 8.2.3.
By default, the JDBC driver included with this release of BenchmarkSQL
is "postgresql-8.0.309.jdbc3.jar".
So I downloaded at http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html
"postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc3.jar" as I used JDK 1.4 and PostgreSQL 8.2.x.

I have a question about the release of this JDBC driver : the version
8.2-504 has been built on December 1st, 2006, that is to say for
PostgreSQL 8.2.0, so can I use it with 8.2.2 and 8.2.3 ? Does a release
exist for these releases of PostgreSQL or is it correct to use the
version 8.2-504 ?

Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Alexandra

8.2-504 is the release to use.  The JDBC driver has a different release
schedule than the server so it will be ahead or behind of the server
release date, but the latest version is always OK to use.
