How to Resolve the Error: Method org.postgresql.jdbc4.Jdbc4Connection.createClob() is Not Yet Implemented in Spring Boot?

How can I fix the error 'Method org.postgresql.jdbc4.Jdbc4Connection.createClob() is not yet implemented' in my Spring Boot application?

The error 'Method org.postgresql.jdbc4.Jdbc4Connection.createClob() is not yet implemented' typically occurs when using a version of the PostgreSQL JDBC driver that does not fully support the Clob interface. This is especially prevalent in older PostgreSQL JDBC drivers or when using incompatible versions of Spring Boot with the JDBC driver.

<dependency>\n    <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>\n    <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>\n    <version>42.5.0</version>\n</dependency>

Causes

• Using an outdated version of the PostgreSQL JDBC driver which does not implement the createClob() method.
• Incompatibility between the PostgreSQL driver and the Spring Boot version in use.
• Configuration issues related to database connectivity or interaction layers in the Spring Boot application.

Solutions

• Upgrade to the latest version of the PostgreSQL JDBC driver. You can update your Maven dependency as follows: ```xml <dependency> <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId> <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId> <version>42.5.0</version> <!-- or the latest version --> </dependency> ```
• Ensure your Spring Boot version is compatible with the PostgreSQL JDBC driver. Check the Spring Boot documentation for recommended driver versions.
• Consider switching to the non-Jdbc4 version of the PostgreSQL driver if your environment supports it.

Mistake: Not checking for compatibility between the PostgreSQL JDBC driver and Spring Boot version.

Solution: Always verify driver compatibility in your Spring Boot application dependencies.

Mistake: Neglecting to use the latest or stable version of dependencies.

Solution: Regularly update dependencies in your project to avoid potential pitfalls and benefit from improvements.
