http://impossibl.github.io/pgjdbc-ng

Connection format

The connection format for the pgjdbc-ng driver is

jdbc:pgsql://<server>[:<port>]/<database>

An example

jdbc:pgsql://localhost:5432/test

DataSource / XADataSource

The DataSource class is

com.impossibl.postgres.jdbc.PGDataSource

and the XADataSource class is

com.impossibl.postgres.jdbc.xa.PGXADataSource

Both implementations supports the following properties

Host:		localhost
Port:		5432
Database:	<empty>
User:		<empty>
Password:	<empty>
Housekeeper:	true

License

pgjdbc-ng is released under the 3 clause BSD license.

Building

The driver is built with maven. Simply build with:

mvn clean package

This will produce, in the target directory, two JAR files. One with dependencies packaged inside and another without.

Testing

The unit tests need a PostgreSQL database to execute against. The tests assume theses defaults:

SERVER:     localhost
PORT:       5432
DATABASE:   test
USERNAME:   pgjdbc
PASSWORD:   test

The following system properties are supported in order to customize the setup

pgjdbc.test.server
pgjdbc.test.port
pgjdbc.test.db
pgjdbc.test.user
pgjdbc.test.password

If you'd like to build the driver without running the unit tests use the command:

mvn clean package -DskipTests
