Column size BUG with text/bytea with 7.4 JDBC Driver (build 213) - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Hi:

The latest JDBC driver (build 213) has a serious
bug for the "COLUMN_SIZE" value, obtained via
DBMetaData, getColumns() and then "COLUMN_SIZE.

The column size returned for both bytea and text
types is -1. (The mysql jdbc driver correctly returns
65535 for these binary/text column types)

postgres _should_ return the max col size which
for bytea is about 1 GB (or is it 4 GB theoretically)
?

Either way, it certainly isn't -1

Please fix this ASAP, I am writing an advanced
db abstraction layer which automatically generated
validators based on min/max column sizes.

Best regards,

--j
