    src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc2: ResultSet.java

Log message:
    I just got bitten by this too. I use type timestamp in the
    database, and often need the latest timestamp, but want to
    format it as a date. With 7.0.x, I just

    select ts from foo order by ts desc limit 1

    and in java: d = res.getDate(1);

    but this fails everywhere in my code now :(

    says

    The ResultSet.getXXX methods will attempt to
    convert whatever SQL type was returned by the
    database to whatever Java type is returned by
    the getXXX method.
