Progress on JDBC Driver for PostgreSQL?

From
Bryan Hane
Date:
I have a java application that currently interacts with other database
successfully. InterBase to be specific an windows based database. I am
trring to get the same application to run with postgresql. I have the
newest version of postgresql. My os is linux. I have found the JDBC
driver is not as complete as other JDBC drivers.
I was curious as to how the development of the driver was coming and
what is being worked on now.

The driver is under continual development. As for the JDBC standard, we
are getting there. The only major thing that's missing is
CallableStatement. Apart from that, the driver does have some postgresql
specific extensions, which can provide some useful and unique features.
