Thanks for answering.
What would you recommend to unambiguously identify a Blob column in a
arbitrary ResultSet, using only JDBC?
For instance could you trust
Types.BLOB == rs.getMetaData.getColumnType() in every case?
Is there any other way?
Would it depend on the latest version of the driver/database?
Thanks in advance for you help!
PS: why do LOBs seem to use regular oids instead of some other less
ambiguous say, "loid" ?
