pgJDBC

The pgJDBC driver is a Java database connectivity driver for the PostgreSQL database management system. It is developed by EnterpriseDB and is compatible with version 8.2.4.12 of the PostgreSQL Advanced Server.

With pgJDBC, Java developers can establish connections to PostgreSQL databases, execute SQL statements, and retrieve data from tables. This driver supports advanced features of the PostgreSQL database, such as parameterized statements, PreparedStatement caching, and server-side prepared statements.

The pgJDBC driver is compatible with all major Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) and supports various Java versions. It also supports multiple authentication methods, including user/password credentials, Kerberos, LDAP, and SSPI (Windows Authentication).

• Parameterized statements: This feature enables developers to use variables in SQL statements, reducing the likelihood of SQL injection attacks and improving application performance.
• PreparedStatement caching: This feature caches prepared statements on the client-side for better performance.
• Server-side prepared statements: This feature caches prepared statements on the PostgreSQL server-side for even better performance.

The pgJDBC driver is a reliable and robust option for connecting Java applications to PostgreSQL databases.
