It seems to me I made a thinko at some point: I should've had been thinking 
about 'archive' all the time, instead of 'codebase'. However, I noted an 
interesting thing: archive="foo.jar,postgresql.jar" works. I mean, this 
works:

<applet code=SqlApplet archive="sqlapplet.jar,postgresql.jar" width=100
height=100></applet>

Of course, I didn't have the class-file around why I tested it.

Don't know if that is thought to be general knowledge (according to you 
it's not?), but atleast the documentation I have doesn't reveal it.

Also, another interesting thing I noted, which is really distribution 
relevant instead of postgresql: with debian distribution of postgres, 
uncompressing and recompressing postgresql.jar shrinks it by 50% 
(from 143 kbytes to 71 kbytes).
