Bug reference: 2250
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3
Description: JSTL parameterized queries inserting numeric values
Details:
When using the JSTL via JDBC, there is the option to write INSERT/UPDATE
statements with parameters in JSP's.
There is only two types the data parameters can be, a date or a character
varying string.
In most databases, if a character varying string is provided that contains a
numeric value, and this is used to insert/update a numeric field, the driver
will attempt a type conversion to the numeric value of the string and report
errors only if the string is not a valid . However trying this in JSTL,
which only provides support for text or date parameters results in the
following error:
ERROR: column "????" is of type integer but expression is of type
character
varying
Your options are to rewrite your query like:
INSERT INTO mytable (intcol) VALUES (CAST(? AS int))
or you may use the 8.2dev driver and add ?stringtype=unspecified to your
URL.
