What do you expect from a JDBC-Driver? There is only the possibility
to return a String-value as a String-object or as an array of char,
and the JDBC-driver will do always the first. And I don't see how the
driver should be able to see the difference between a column that has
been filled by a constant value in the query or by a real column.

And even static literal values in Java are always String-objects.

I really do not understand what you mean with a static, literal
value. There is no such thing in Java.
