Question #4163
Updated by Nicolas CHARLES over 10 years ago
Today (Rudder 2.8), we use the postgresql "8.4-702.jdbc4" driver version. I'm seing that there exists both jdbc4/jdbc3 version of the driver, and 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 9.0, 9.1... etc version of the driver.
For the JDBC part, it's easy: we need JDBC4.
But do we must ensure that the PostgreSQL driver matches the PostgreSQL DB version ? Or can we simply use the most recent driver, and assume it will work on (not too old) past Postgres version ? Or contrary, do we need to use the driver corresponding to the oldest Postgresql version we support?
