Thanks Kris,
I'm appreciative of you having acted on this. I'm currently mapping it to the sql OTHER datatype, overriding the JDBC driver and doing some hocus-pocus magic with Hibernate for it to work in an ORM. I have no immediate need of this update at present, having the workaround. However, when the next release is published, I will play around with it and see how JPA takes to it.
Cheers,
Andy

I'm wondering about the timeline or plans if any for JDBC driver support of the recently added UUID datatype in PostgreSQL?
There aren't any exact plans, but I was thinking we would map the pg uuid type onto the java.util.UUID type. The only problem with that is java.util.UUID only appeared in the 1.5 JDK, so we'd only be able to support it for some driver versions.
I've committed code to CVS to support the UUID type. This is now the first time there's a real distinction between the 1.4 and 1.5 JDK builds. Previously I've been doing all JDBC3 releases with a 1.4 JDK which will not support java.util.UUID. I don't plan on publishing the separate JDBC3g (g stands for the generics JDK1.5 needs) build that is generated from a 1.5 build because we already have enough release versions. So unless there are serious objections, if people want UUID support they'll need to use the JDBC 4 release or build from source.
