Re: Array types

No unfortunately not, it is a JDBC type 4 java which is entirely written in 
java. I've patched (as pointed out in another list) the base version to 
handle binary data (still a couple of issues that seem unfinished) which has 
given me clues, but the patch only supports simple types. I'm looking to 
create translator for arrays now..

I was hoping to use the java type handling for the internals of the array 
and throw an error on any "unknown" ones... I only use ints and floats in my 
arrays, so may leave it at that if it works and look at doing it properly 
later...
