Thanks. This URL was a huge help. I applied the change to the proper
function.

OK, I think I understand this now.
getDatabaseProductVersion() calls getVersion, which is defined in
Driver.java.in as the version string from configure. It returns the
version of the client jdbc code. To get the server version, you need
that SELECT you suggested.
Is that OK?

I think Peter Mount looked at it, but there where some big changes to
the JDBC driver going on at that time. When I look at the code in CVS
now it looks nothing like what it did when I did the patch against it.
Anyway, I found my old patch in the archives:
