Re: Which version of driver to use ?

Csaba,

Yeah, you can force v2 protocol on the 8.0 driver

just add ?protocolVersion=2 to the connection url

see
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/80/connect.html#connection-
parameters

for more details

re the 74 code : it's in the main server tree for version 7.4 tag is
REL7_4_STABLE
