PATCH: JDBC compile w/ jikes

Hi all,

The JDBC2 driver included with PostgreSQL 7.1 doesn't compile
with jikes (1.13). Here's the errors you get:

    [javac] Compiling 41 source files to /home/nconway/postgresql-7.1/src/interfaces/jdbc/build
    [javac]
    [javac] Found 3 semantic errors compiling
"/home/nconway/postgresql-7.1/src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc2/DatabaseMetaData.java":
    [javac]
    [javac]   1691.     case 'r':

    [javac]

    [javac]   1697.     case 'S':
    [javac]                      <->
    [javac] *** Error: The type of this expression, "char", is not assignment-convertible to the type of the switch

I'm not sure if this is a bug with jikes, or if Sun's javac is just lax.

Attached is a trivial patch which fixes it for me (it compiles, at any rate).

Cheers,

Neil
