I can reproduce this using only postgresql by trying to copy a date field
to a timestamp field. The issue is that the updatable result set code
assumes that if the target is a timestamp then the incoming object will
also be a timestamp and it may safely cast that object to a
java.sql.Timestamp. This is not always so as shown, so the driver needs
some more powerful conversion utilities here, something along the lines of
PreparedStatement.setObject(index, obj, targetType) would do the trick.
This is a low priority item for me, so I won't be working on this anytime
soon, but here's the test case I used.
