The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1712 Logged by: Gilles Dubochet Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0.2 Operating system: Linux Description: JDBC column precision for bigint is 0 Details:
Whith the JDBC driver at least up to version 8.1dev-400, the result of the getPrecision method of ResultSetMetaData on a bigint column is 0 instead of the expected 19. Code seems to be missing in org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2ResultSetMetadata after line 359 (in source code 8.1dev-400). Java code to reproduce problem: import java.sql.*; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver"); Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost/pguser", "pguser", ""); Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); stmt.execute("DROP TABLE mytable"); stmt.execute("CREATE TABLE mytable (bi BIGINT)"); System.out.println("We get "+ stmt.executeQuery("select * from mytable").getMetaData().getPrecision(1)+ " but should get 19"); } } ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
