Re: wrong documentation and others .....

Hi Gabriel,
    We have been using the postgresql JDBC to serialize classes and have
had no problems since we figured out that the doc's are wrong.  I had
to find answers in the source code.
    I've attached a class called Shelf which serializes any java object to a
table.  Within the code is the schema of a table called tbl_objectshelf which
is suitable as a "shelf". I hope this saves you some time.

    Have fun,
        Dave
