This was actually broken during the 7.3 release when SHOW results changed
from being returned in a NOTICE to being a query result.  As the initial
message indicates "PostgreSQL datestyle test v6.3 rev 1"  This code was
actually written for the 6.3 jdbc driver and according to the cvs logs it
hasn't been changed since except to reformat the code.

The example directory is really a primitive version of the full junit
regression test suite we have now in org.postgresql.test.  I think we
could easily do away with the example directory unless people are actually
using it for examples.
