Hi,
First of all, I'm very happy with postgresql and its jdbc driver.
Recently, I wanted to access updatable views and know if some columns
are read-only (like columns defined by an operation)
I looked into DatabaseMataData.getColumns, but the
24.IS_GENERATEDCOLUMN attribute, defines in java7/jdbc4.1 is not
availiable in the current driver which has only 23 attributes (anyway,
I'm not sure what this attribute is supposed to return)
I also looked into ResultSetMetaData.isReadOnly(), but it always return
false. Comments say that "we would have to check the GRANT/REVOKE stuff
for this to be effective". A first step could be to return if the column
cannot be updatable for anybody
Maybe information_schema.columns.isupdatable column could be of any help
to get this information ?
Best regards,
Michaël
