So I just downloaded and instelled SQL Workbench/J as my it department

they also told me "Download a JDBC driver that will enable SQL
Workbench/J to connect to your cluster. Currently we recommends this
version 8 JDBC driver:
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc4.jar
I did it but I am not an expert, therefore I supposed I had to install
it. Am I wrong?
a .jar file is a java package, they are used as-is, most typically by
specifying them in the CLASSPATH when you start a Java program. As
Adrian said, in this case, you configure sql workbench/j to use it,
rather than installing it in your OS like regular programs.
