Re: Release 1204 released - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Interesting issue - that is indeed a use-case I didn't think about.

It's too bad that getColumns() doesn't return a "TABLE_TYPE" column that would match the types returned by
getTableTypes()

However, information_schema.columns does return columns from views, so those should at least be included
(although not getting columns for materialized views or types would mean I had to adjust my SQL Workbench for that)
