I use the JDBC driver to connect to a postgresql database using the base component of OpenOffice/LibreOffice. SDBC is not an option since I need to support Linux, MacOS and Windows. So far this worked fine (including encryption of the database connection) - thanks to all who develop and support the JDBC database driver.
However, the latest 1204-version of the driver broke the handling of table views. Views were handled as read-only tables, their properties (column names and column types) could be read out and subsequently used. With the new version table views are recognized as views, but none of the column names or data types are available, breaking existing forms, that check e.g. for the correct data type.
This is independent of Java VM Version (1.7 and 1.8 tested) or whether OpenOffice or LibreOffice is used and happens on Windows as well as Linux (MacOS not tested so far).
Switching the JDBC driver version back to 1203 solves the issue.
