Thread: how to get JDBC driver version from command line

Hi,

Is there a way to get the JDBC driver version from the command line? I'd
like to make the name generic for various administrative reasons.

I suspect this could be done using something along the lines of:

java -cp ./postgresql.jdbc4.jar org.postgresql.Driver -version

I'm not fluent in Java, so I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

pretty sure you'd need a java application that calls the
getMajorVersion() and getMinorVersion() methods of the driver. don't
think there's any way to do that from a command line.

Hi, seem the method Kris mentioned to check the version from the command line
no longer works with the latest driver version. Can anyone tell me how to
check the driver version from the command line with the latest version
42.0.0 JDBC4?

TIA
