An update.
So far I've tried using the "SOURCE_DATA_TYPE" column of the result set
returned by getColumns but this column doesn't exist.
Next I tried calling getUDTs but apparently this method isn't implemented
yet.
I noticed some discussion about implementing the getUDTs method in the lists
and references to it in the change log so maybe this has been done already
and I just need a more recent version. I'm using pg74.215.jdbc3.jar (on
7.4.6).
...regards
Iain
