Re: column doesn't get calculated - update # 2 - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Floyd,

I would recommend turning sql statement tracing on in the database to
see the exact sql text that the driver is sending to the database (in
case it is somehow munging it).  Then take that exact same text (as
found in the server log files) and run it in psql to see how it works there.
