From the Driver source code:

  /**
   * Report whether the driver is a genuine JDBC compliant driver.  A
   * driver may only report "true" here if it passes the JDBC compliance
   * tests, otherwise it is required to return false.  JDBC compliance
   * requires full support for the JDBC API and full support for SQL 92
   * Entry Level.  
   *
   * <p>For PostgreSQL, this is not yet possible, as we are not SQL92
   * compliant (yet).

  public boolean jdbcCompliant()
  {
    return false;
