Thread: jdbc driver versions.
The website says the jdbc3 driver is for Java 1.5, jdbc4 for 1.6 and jdbc41 for 1.7... if we're not using any of the newer jdbc features, is there any reason we can't just use the jdbc3 driver with any 1.5+ JRE ? -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast
The driver version matches the JDBC API version so if you use newer API calls then you need newer versions.
The API defines the interface which changes from jdbc3 to jdbc4, etc, however it is backward compatible, in other words each successive version is additive
I suspect it will work fine .
