Hi,

I noticed that getTypeInfo() may not return data in the order specified in Oracle documentation (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getTypeInfo()):

Retrieves a description of all the data types supported by this database. They are ordered by DATA_TYPE and then by how closely the data type maps to the corresponding JDBC SQL type.

With the following code snippet:

try (Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection(); ResultSet rs = connection.getMetaData().getTypeInfo()) {

    while (rs.next()) {

        System.out.println(rs.getInt("DATA_TYPE"));

    }

} catch (SQLException e) {}

I am getting DATA_TYPE in a non-monotonic order:

-7

-2

1

12

-5

...

Additional metadata:

JDBC driver: PostgreSQL 9.4.1212

Server version: 9.6beta1.0 (9.6beta1.0)

What do I do wrong?

Nothing, I just looked at the code and there is no order by on there
