  1. Does Java 8 support drivers 42.2.19 and 42.7.6?

    Артем Романюк <artemromaniuk4@gmail.com> — 2025-10-06T08:01:25Z

    Good afternoon!

Dear PostgreSQL community. Can I ask the developers if Java 8 officially
supports drivers 42.2.19 and 42.7.6? It is important that support is
provided fully and without problems.

Thank you!

Both pgjdbc 42.2.19 and pgjdbc 42.7.6 should work fine with Java 8.
The set of known issues differs between the versions.

42.2.19 was tested with Java 6, 7, 8, and 11:
https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/blob/REL42.2.19/.travis.yml#L222
https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/blob/REL42.2.19/.travis.yml#L210
https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/blob/REL42.2.19/.github/workflows/main.yml#L41

42.7.6 was tested with Java 8, 11, 17, 21, and 24:
https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/blob/REL42.7.6/.github/workflows/matrix.mjs#L45-L48

1) Why not use the latest minor version?

2) "... provided fully and without problems" is not a guarantee that can 
be made. The best that can be said is it passed the project test suite. 
You will have to test on your setup to verify it works without issue and 
file a report here https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/issues if it does not.
