Supported PostgreSQL version

Hi

Currently we are using Postgres JDBC version "9.4.1209.jre7". We are planning to upgrade to PostgresSQL 13 and want to know will this version of Postgres JDBC (9.4.1209.jre7) supports the PostgresSQL 13?

Thanks,
Ravikumar.

The answer is "perhaps it will work, but I wouldn't risk it".

You should upgrade to the latest version of the JDBC driver.
New versions of the driver should work reasonably well with older database servers,
but not necessarily the other way around.

Probably not, at least not with the default authentication used by 
PostgreSQL 13. It is probably better update to a newer version of the 
driver (42.2.24, or 42.2.24.jre7 if you're really still on Java 7).
