[BUGS] function currval(character varying) does not exist, PostgreSQL 8.1 beta3

[Jean-Pierre Pelletier]

Hi,      pstmt = connection.prepareStatement("select currval(?)"); throws "function currval(character varying) does not exist"      Using pgAdmin, I could see that currval() now takes a regclass parameter, so    I got it to work using      pstmt = connection.prepareStatement("select currval(cast(cast(? as text) as regclass))");    Is currval(text) gone for good or is this an oversight?    If it's gone for good, is cast(cast(? as text) as regclass) the recommended way of handling this?      I am using PostgreSQL 8.1 beta3 under Windows XP Service Pack 2 with JDBC3 8.1 Build 402.    It worked fine with PostgreSQL 8.1 beta2 and with 8.0.*   Thanks, Jean-Pierre Pelletier e-djuster
