+This is a simple readme describing how to compile and use the jdbc driver.
+
+This isn't a guide on how to use JDBC - for that refer to Javasoft's web site:
+
+ http://www.javasoft.com
+
+or the JDBC mailing list:
+
+ jdbc@java.blackdown.org
+
+ http://www.blackdown.org
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+COMPILING
+
+To compile the driver, simply use make in the src/interfaces/jdbc directory.
+This will compile the driver, and build a .jar file (Java ARchive).
+
+REMEMBER: once you have compiled the driver, it will work on ALL platforms
+that support the JDK 1.1 api or later.
+
+That means you don't have to compile it on every platform. Believe me, I
+still hear from people who ask me "I've compiled it ok under Solaris, but it
+won't compile under Linux" - there's no difference.
+
+PS: When you run make, don't worry if you see just one or two calls to javac.
+ If, while compiling a class, javac needs another class that's not compiled,
+ it will compile it automatically. This reduces the numer of calls to javac
+ that make has to do.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+INSTALLING THE DRIVER
+
+To install the driver, the .class files have to be in the classpath. This can be
+done in two ways:
+
+1: create a directory "postgresql" (and it must be called this) in the current
+ directory (or a directory in the class path), and copy all .class files
+ into it.
+
+2: copy the postgres.jar file into a directory, and add it to the classpath.
+
+ ie: under LINUX/SOLARIS (the example here is my linux box):
+
+ export CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/lib/postgresql.jar:/usr/local/jdk1.1.1/lib/classes.zip
+
+ note: in java, .zip and .jar files hold collections of classes.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+USING THE DRIVER
+
+To use the driver, you must introduce it to JDBC. Again, there's two ways
+of doing this:
+
+1: Hardcoded.
+
+ This method hardcodes your driver into your application/applet. You
+ introduce the driver using the following snippet of code:
+
+ try {
+ Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");
+ } catch(Exception e) {
+ // your error handling code goes here
+ }
+
+ Remember, this method restricts your code to just the postgresql database.
+
+2: Parameters
+
+ This method specifies the driver from the command line. When running the
+ application, you specify the driver using the option:
+
+ -Djdbc.drivers=postgresql.Driver
+
+ eg: This is an example of running one of my other projects with the driver:
+
+ java -Djdbc.drivers=postgresql.Driver finder.finder
+
+ note: This method only works with Applications (not for Applets).
+ However, the application is not tied to one driver, so if you needed
+ to switch databases (why I don't know ;-) ), you don't need to
+ recompile the application (as long as you havent hardcoded the url's).
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+JDBC URL syntax
+
+The driver recognises JDBC URL's of the form:
+
+ jdbc:postgresql:database
+
+ jdbc:postgresql://host/database
+
+ jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database
+
+Also, you can supply both username and passwords as arguments, by appending
+them to the URL. eg:
+
+ jdbc:postgresql:database?user=me
+ jdbc:postgresql:database?user=me&password=mypass
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+That's the basics related to this driver. You'll need to read the JDBC Docs
+on how to use it.
+
+POSTGRESQL SPECIFICS
+--------------------
+
+JDBC supports database specific data types using the getObject() call. The
+following types have their own Java equivalents supplied by the driver:
+
+ box, circle, lseg, path, point, polygon
+
+When using the getObject() method on a resultset, it returns a PG_Object,
+which holds the postgres type, and its value. This object also supports
+methods to retrive these types.
+
+ Eg: column 3 contains a point, and rs is the ResultSet:
+
+ PG_Object o = (PG_Object)rs.getObject(3);
+ PGpoint p = o.getPoint();
+ System.out.println("point returned x="+p.x+", y="+p.y);
+
+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.
