Hello,

in the DSpace source tree, there is a rather old build of the Postgres JDBC 
driver included. It is build number 408, where even the legacy version for 
Postgres 8.1 offered on postgresql.org is build number 415. Even this is an 
unsupported, archived version. 

DSpace requires Postgres 8.2 though and thist implies that it does not make 
sense to stick with a Driver version that strives to support older versions of 
Postgres. The current build for Postgres 8.2 is 512 which is the oldest version 
still in support. The current version is build 703 to get an impression of what 
we are talking about.

That said I would like to use a more recent version of the driver. However I 
cant figure out, where to put it. Do I really have to put separately in each 
and every [dsapce-source]/*/*/target/*/WEB-INF/lib/ directory for each module? 
What happens if I update only some of them? Will they be overwritten next time 
I run mvn package? Or will I end up with two JDBC drivers for each module? Will 
these two JDBC Drivers interact in unpredictable ways?

I could not find any hints on this in the Docs. They generally just say dont 
worry. Well, I do. So please…

Thanks, Christian
