Postgresql JDBC Driver source download problem

Hi,

From http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html, I tried to download
JDBC source, no source zip of the supported versions can be opened by
WinZip, and WinZip complains 'Error reading header after processing 0
entries".

Did anyone meet the same problem? Could you please let me know how you
resolved it or share with me a valid source zip of any version 8.1,
8.2 or 8.3 ?

Appreciate your help very much!

Jenny

Try using 7-zip to read/write compressed archives. It can read that tar.gz file format on Windows (as well as many other formats).

I was able to open the version 8.3 source tarball with 7-zip 4.65 and decompress it fine.

Hi Jenny;

The source code downloadable from the page you mention is not a zip file.

http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-jdbc-8.3-604.src.tar.gz

is a gzipped tar file.  You need gnu tar or any old tar and gunzip to
get this back into a source tree.  You may need other gnu tools to build
it, I don't know.

It may be the case that the easiest way to build it on Windows is to
first install cygwin - available from http://www.cygwin.com/ - which
will give you gnu tar, or alternatively you may wish to avail yourself
of a Linux machine if you have one handy.

If you just want to use it, you don't need to build it first; just get
the appropriate jar file for your JVM and PostgreSQL version.
