-The PostgreSQL JDBC driver has some unique properties that you should be aware of before starting to develop any code for it. - The current development driver supports eleven server versions and - three java environments. This doesn't mean that every feature must - work in every combination, but a reasonable behaviour must be - provided for non-supported versions. While this extra compatibility - sounds like a lot of work, the actual goal is to reduce the amount - of work by maintaining only one code base. + The current development driver supports a number of server versions. + This doesn't mean that every feature must work in every combination, + but a reasonable behaviour must be provided for non-supported versions. + While this extra compatibility sounds like a lot of work, the actual + goal is to reduce the amount of work by maintaining only one code base.
