/**
* Report whether the driver is a genuine JDBC compliant driver. A
* driver may only report "true" here if it passes the JDBC compliance
* tests, otherwise it is required to return false. JDBC compliance
* requires full support for the JDBC API and full support for SQL 92
* Entry Level.

* <p>For PostgreSQL, this is not yet possible, as we are not SQL92
* compliant (yet).
