Description

Luminus type/protocol extensions in `.db.core` stop working if you change the DB connection url scheme from the default `postgresql://` to `jdbc:pgsql://`. Maybe we need an additional `+pgjdbc-ng` option.

The API of pgjdbc-ng is not the same as org.postgresql (e.g. lacks util.PGobject).

Research direction

Start in the Luminus type/protocol extensions under .db.core and compare their assumptions about the default postgresql:// driver with the jdbc:pgsql:// scheme used by pgjdbc-ng. Review the referenced PostgreSQL notifications example and determine the required protocol-extension behavior, including compatibility with pgjdbc-ng's different API.
