it will compile it automatically. This reduces the numer of calls to javac

that make has to do.

Possible problems

You may see a message similar to:

postgresql/Driver.java:87: interface java.sql.Connection is an interface. It can't be instantiated.

return new Connection (host(), port(), props, database(), url, this);

This is caused by not having the current directory in your CLASSPATH. Under

Linux/Solaris, unset the CLASSPATH environment variable, and rerun make.

INSTALLING THE DRIVER

Also, when using these classes, their toString() methods return the correct

syntax for writing these to the database.

TODO

----

Currently only host authentication is supported. Password authentication

will be in there in a few days.

Incorporating more features from the other driver (esp. in the MetaData's)

Large Object support will also go in there, although it may not be done as

pure JDBC, but as an extra API.

Producing some documentation with javadoc - not all of the sources have them

yet.
