To integrate the driver into a project, developers must include the driver’s JAR file in their application's classpath. This can be done manually by downloading precompiled versions from the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver site or by including Maven/Gradle coordinates in build configuration files.

: Compatibility generally extends to PostgreSQL 8.4 and higher, utilizing version 3.0 of the wire protocol.
