Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory (none)
Topic
An updated postgresql-jdbc package that adds various enhancements is now available.
Description
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system. The postgresql-jdbc package includes the .jar files needed for Java programs to access a PostgreSQL database.
This updated postgresql-jdbc package adds the following enhancements:

This update also converts the driver from a GCJ build to a pure jar (noarch) build. (BZ#816731)
Users of postgresql-jdbc are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds these enhancements.
