Thread: DataSource support

Hello!

    I'm writing a tomcat based web-app that uses the JNDI to obtain JDBC
DataSources. Is postgres' DataSource support reliable to use on a
deployed application? Right now I'm using the devpgjdbc3.jar. Is this
fine or should I use some other driver?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

Best Regards,

Victor.

    The only issue you may want to be aware of is that the pooling
data source never releases connections.  So far, no one's mentioned that
as an issue (this is your chance!).

    If you're running under JDK 1.4, you can use either the 7.3 beta 3
JDBC3 driver or the dev JDBC3 driver.  If you're running under JDK 1.3 and
you want a JDBC2 driver, unfortunately, you need to build the JDBC2 driver
from CVS.

Victor,

There aren't any known issues with the DataSource support, so it should
be fine.

I am not sure when you pulled the devpgjdbc3.jar file, but if you pull
pg73b3jdbc3.jar you will have the latest code (currently 7.3beta3 is the
same as the dev build).  I don't expect to see any changes between
7.3beta3 and 7.3 production (except for doc updates), unless some
important bugs are found this week.

thanks,
--Barry
