[GENERAL] JDBC driver versions
Hi all, I'm migrating from postgres 8.3 to 9.2. Included in my application is an old jar for the JDBC driver for the 8.3 database. Do I need a separate build with an up to date JDBC jar for 9.2 while I am testing out a new database or is it safe to use the latest JDBC jar with a very old version of postgres?
