Thread: Which JDBC version to use with PostgreSQL 8.1.11?
Should I use JDBC version 8.1 Build 412 with this database or is it recommended to use JDBC version 8.3 Build 603 or another version?

Why not just stick with the version compatible with your JDK/JVM version?

We maintain the older driver versions because the driver's behavior changes slightly from version to version, so people can upgrade to get bug fixes without new features/behavior changes. So if you're starting a new application with a 8.1 server, there's no reason not to use the 8.3 driver, but if you're already using the 8.1 driver, upgrading to the 8.3 driver without testing is not a good idea.
