Обсуждение: JPOX Types.CHAR error
I'm playing around with JPOX right now trying to get things to work, but I'm having a problem with mapping the Java types to the JDBC types it seems like. JPOX comes back and tells me that the JDBC driver doesn't support Types.CHAR, which I find very hard to believe. I'm running PostgreSQL 8.1.2 (just on my testing box) and I have JDBC driver postgresql-8.1-405.jdbc3.jar. I also have the latest (1.1.0) JPOX jars and the jdo2-api-2.0.jar. I'm running on an XP machine with Java 1.5.0_6. Any help would be great, thanks! Here's the stack trace: 22:47:00,978 (main) ERROR [JPOX.SchemaTool] - An exception was thrown during the operation of SchemaTool. Please refer to the log for full details.

The best thing to do would probably add some debugging code to JPOX to show how it sets up its type information and what it thinks is has available when the failing call is made. Kris Jurka
> A quick check reveals nothing obviously wrong with how > DatabaseMetaData.getTypeInfo returns data for Types.CHAR. Well that depends on your point of view ;-) PSQL 8.1-405 JDBC driver now returns SQL type "char" as Types.OTHER (instead of Types.CHAR), and returns "bpchar" as Types.CHAR. Since PSQL has always supported "char" as Types.CHAR (since it kinda seems reasonable), JPOX uses that as the default ... and it is no longer there (yet is in PSQL 8.0). I can set up JPOX to fake this type for users so they see no change but it would make more sense (to me) to have the JDBC driver return consistent with previous incarnations. Maybe there was a good reason why "char" is no longer Types.CHAR ? -- Andy

The type "char" is a single byte datatype that is really only used for internal system catalogs and is not to be confused with char(N). One of the bugs you're probably seeing is that the postgresql jdbc driver does not return the results of DatabaseMetaData.getTypeInfo sorted according to the javadoc spec of closest match, but instead returns data in random order. jurka=# create table chartest (a "char", b char, c char(5)); CREATE TABLE jurka=# \d chartest Table "public.chartest" Column | Type | Modifiers --------+--------------+----------- a | "char" | b | character(1) | c | character(5) | jurka=# select a.attname,t.typname FROM pg_attribute a, pg_type t where a.atttypid = t.oid and a.attrelid = 'chartest'::regclass::oid and a.attnum > 0; attname | typname ---------+--------- a | char c | bpchar b | bpchar (3 rows) Kris Jurka

Only one question. Has "bpchar" existed in Postgresql for some time (e.g versions 7.0 onwards) or is it recent ? We (JPOX) need to support many versions of Postgresql and I don't want to change historical support here. -- Andy

Also, I cannot do bpchar(100) whereas I can do char(100) ... the precision returned by getTypeInfo is limited to 9 for bpchar whereas is 65000 for char. -- Andy

All Postgresql types returned by getTypeInfo() return the precision as 9 ... whatever that is supposed to mean. Any chance that Postgresql JDBC will one day return correct info for the precision ? It would make life a hell of a lot easier for systems that use the results of its JDBC method calls. -- Andy

It currently reports 10485760 as the precision for bpchar. The complication on your part is that bpchar is kind of an internal type name and you've already noticed that you can't say CREATE TABLE t (a bpchar(5)). The grammar only supports the precision attribute on the external spelling of the type name, char or character. I'm not sure how the pg jdbc driver can help you know this. Kris Jurka
