Thread: Sun J2SE 1.4 + postgresql-jdbc3-7.3.jar + Postgresql 7.2.1 and getParameterMetaData() fail

Hi,

I'm newbie to PostgreSQL + Java + All :)

All seems to run fine, but the getParameterMetaData() do not.

The envinronment is:

private PreparedStatement updStmt;
String upd = "UPDATE AnswerTable SET pnformid = ?, pnuserid = ? WHERE pnanswerid = ? ";
updStmt = connection.prepareStatement(upd);

I have a function:

int numParameters = updStmt.getParameterMetaData().getParameterCount();

and it fails when i call it.

The e.getMessage() is

    "This method is not yet implemented."

when i run it with java version "1.4.1_01".

With java version "1.3.1_07" i just get "NoSuchMethodError".

Plz, can anyone help me or indicate what could be wrong?

Regards,

Joel,

We don't support all of jdbc3 methods yet. we do accept patches for them
though ;)

Joel,

The error message in this case is actually pretty good.  The
getParameterMetaData() method is not implemented in the postgres jdbc
driver.  I think you are the first person that has requested it.  Might
I ask what you are trying to do, that requires this method?

The error message you get with jdk 1.3.1 is because this method is a new
method in java 1.4 and didn't exist in 1.3 or earlier.

thanks,
