Good news: it's easy to fix;
Bad news: we have to drop jdbc2 support.

Well it's maybe not has bad has it seems, jdbc2 is really old. The
problem seems to be the java.sql api changed and some interfaces added
new methods. We could add stubs. What do you think?

1° drop jdbc2 for postgresql driver?

2° add stubs to the postgresql driver classes?

Thanks for your comments,
