Hi,

I am working in a client application that uses JDBC to access several
databases. The problem is that, as the PostgreSQL JDBC driver doesn't follow
JDBC Standard I had to write some specific code for use it with PostgreSQL DB.

It would be very interesting to have a JDBC 2.0 compliant driver.
I would surely try it and give some feedback!!!
