Re: Strange behaviour of JDBC driver for PostgreSQL

I've been working with Linux and Java for more then 4 years, so I'm sure
of what I'm saying: never had or used such a version!

Anyway, here's the output from:

$ psql -h REMOTEHOSTNAME -U USERNAME -c 'SELECT version();' DBNAME



version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 7.2.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.2
(Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)
(1 row)

Best Regards,

Carlos
