I didn't have any problems with that, but I sure had problems when I failed to upgrade my JDBC driver to the 9.0 version when we upgraded the backend to 9.0. Unless you have a very specific reason to do otherwise, I suggest that you follow the advice here: http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html#current To quote: | This is the current version of the driver. Unless you have unusual | requirements (running old applications or JVMs), this is the | driver you should be using. It supports Postgresql 7.2 or newer | and requires a 1.4 or newer JVM. It contains support for SSL and | the javax.sql package. It comes in two flavors, JDBC3 and JDBC4. | If you are using the 1.6 JVM, then you should use the JDBC4 | version. | | JDBC3 Postgresql Driver, Version 9.0-801 | | JDBC4 Postgresql Driver, Version 9.0-801 -Kevin
