From the Driver source code:
 /**  * Report whether the driver is a genuine JDBC compliant driver.  A  * driver may only report "true" here if it
passesthe JDBC compliance  * tests, otherwise it is required to return false.  JDBC compliance  * requires full support
forthe JDBC API and full support for SQL 92  * Entry Level.    *  * <p>For PostgreSQL, this is not yet possible, as we
arenot SQL92  * compliant (yet).  */ public boolean jdbcCompliant() {   return false; }
