Hi,
Recently I had an issue about the Postgres JDBC driver and I found an inconsistence at JIRA documents.
The standalone installation of JIRA does not require changing the JDBC driver if JIRA is not WAR (Connecting JIRA to PostgreSQL|https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Connecting+JIRA+to+PostgreSQL]), but the Supported Platforms document says or seems to say that he DB version should match the JDBC version. This information is causing some noise at the customers and took me some time to understand what should I do. I think is important to clear this out to reduce this friction.
I'm not sure about the solution. Maybe is recommend leave the old JDBC 9.0 with newer versions of Postgres since this is the bundle driver or is recommend follow the JIRA war process to install the JDBC new driver. The comment from James Rice (at references below) resumes this inconsistence.
References for this request:

- James Rice comment at Jan 28, 2015 from Connecting JIRA to PostgreSQL page.
Thanks a lot,
Daniel P Santos
