Julia 2.0 is mentioned nowhere. Also being discussed over here:

> I saw in a thread: “we have effectively lost the JDBC wrapper until Julia 2.0”. This isn’t strictly true, as it still works in Julia 1.0.x, the LTS versions for the foreseeable future. But, yes, Julia 1.1, if I recall, broke JavaCall.jl and thus JDBC and I guess Scala/Spark too. [And for JDBC there are workarounds.] I’ve promoted Julia’s “syntax stability guarantee”, since Julia 0.7. I do occationally see packages being fixed for 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3. I realize there can be changes in the standard…

The only place that I can see anyone talk about “we have effectively lost the JDBC wrapper until Julia 2.0” is your post that said that. Where are you getting this idea from?
