Re: Jdbc4ResultSet getClob and getBlob are calling getLong internally

Yes, it's a TEXT column and yes I'm calling rs.getClob(columnName);

What am I suppose to call instead?

The above call produces:
... blah ...
Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Bad value for type long
: url=http://<removed>
    at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.toLong(AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.java:2796)
    at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.getLong(AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.java:2019)
    at org.postgresql.jdbc4.Jdbc4ResultSet.getClob(Jdbc4ResultSet.java:43)
    at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.getClob(AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.java:384)

getFixedString(columnIndex) method called from
AbstractJdbc2ResultSet:2019 is returning an actual column value
(String) which toLong is trying to convert to long and failing.

Thanks!

What am I missing?
