Binary JAR downloads of the JDBC driver are available below. The current release is also published to Maven Central , so most projects pull it through their build tool instead of dropping a JAR on the classpath. See the Quick start for the dependency snippets. Development SNAPSHOT builds are published to the Maven snapshots repository.

The Java 8 card below is the driver you should use unless you have unusual requirements (running old applications or JVMs). It requires Java 8 or newer and supports PostgreSQL 9.1 or newer; releases since 42.7.4 are not guaranteed to work with older servers. The Java 7 and Java 6 cards are legacy compatibility builds for applications that cannot upgrade their JVM. See Compatibility for the support status of each release line.
