Thread: JDK development kit
Practical PostgreSQL pg. 12 The JDK is required by PostgreSQL if you ... Sun wanted to switch me to J2SE 1.4 But if I insist on JDK 1.1 I must choose between the Windows and Solaris versions. Using Linux, which of these is the lesser evil? Thanks, Warren _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
Who said you needed to use jdk 1.1 ? You can use any one of them, including jdk 1.4 Dave On Mon, 2002-08-26 at 21:57, Warren Massengill wrote: > Practical PostgreSQL pg. 12 > The JDK is required by PostgreSQL if you ... > > Sun wanted to switch me to J2SE 1.4 > But if I insist on JDK 1.1 I must choose between the Windows and Solaris > versions. > > Using Linux, which of these is the lesser evil? > > Thanks, > Warren > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? > > http://archives.postgresql.org > >

I found the JDBC download site (thanks? - we can forget Sun!) but now have another question. Is this driver included in the PostgreSQL-7.2.2.tar.gz that I downloaded last night? If I compile --with-java Practical PostgreSQL pg. 20 says I need ant and the JDK packages (but not the driver?)

Warren, Yes, to build the driver from source you need ant, the driver source is in the tarball, you need the jdk for the libraries, and the compiler however: the easiest way is to just d/l the jar. Do yourself a favour and use the dev jar, personally weighing the (in)stability vs. the bugs I know exist in the stable jar. I would pick the dev jar. It's pretty solid.

Warren, By way of clarification: JDK and J2SE aren't drivers, they're "development kits" (JDK = Java Development Kit; J2SE SDK = Jave 2 Platform, Standard Edition Software Development Kit). If I have my history straight, JDK was the terminology for the kit pre-1.2 and then it changed to SDK. JDBC is the driver, and it sounds like you're squared away with that now. :) Regards, Jim Dave Cramer wrote: > Warren, > > Yes, to build the driver from source you need ant, the driver source is > in the tarball, you need the jdk for the libraries, and the compiler > > however: the easiest way is to just d/l the jar.
