Thread: JDBC 4 support

JDBC 4 support

From

Since I'm using Java 6, I normally download the JDBC4 PG driver. Last night I upgraded to JBoss AS 6, and when I used the JDBC 4 driver it crashed with an exception stating something like Connection#createBlob wasn't implemented. Apparently the internal Hibernate tries to call this method.

The download page[1] still lists JDBC 4 support as "limited" saying that "the several of the new methods are stubbed out". This is a step up from last year when it said "the majority". But still, it's hard to believe that this is really still the case. How far off is complete JDBC 4 support?

I'm curious about this as well, as I think that many advanced RDBMS
features, such as UDT's rely on this standard...

I've just done a grep of the source and found there's quite a number of
unimplemented methods (see attached), not just constrained to JDBC4.
Perhaps it would be worth adding these to the todo list on
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/todo.html? It might draw more developers by
making it known there is lots to do, certainly I will look to lend a
hand now that I know what's not done!
