I have some metadata utilities that query jdbc column metadata, and I'm fairly certain that my enum colums, which used to be reported at Type.OTHER, are now being reported as Type.VARCHAR.
That is, rs.getInt("DATA_TYPE") returns Type.OTHER
The type names, however, seem to be correct. Thus, rs.getString("TYPE_NAME") returns the actual enum name.
Not only does my code now behave differently, but I also see that 3rd party libraries (DBUnit) are also now missing enum columns.
Thus, DBUnit's PostgresqlDataTypeFactory code for returning enums never gets hits because the sqlType is never Types.OTHER:
if (sqlType == Types.OTHER) if ("uuid".equals(sqlTypeName)) return new UuidType(); else if ("interval".equals(sqlTypeName)) return new IntervalType(); else if ("inet".equals(sqlTypeName)) return new InetType(); else { // Finally check whether the user defined a custom datatype if(isEnumType(sqlTypeName)) { if(logger.isDebugEnabled()) return new GenericEnumType(sqlTypeName); } }
So did something change recently in the drivers? I've recently upgraded my database from 9.1 to 9.4, along with my jdbc drivers.
Thanks, Ross
