Thread: support for user-defined types

support for user-defined types

Our current project needs to create tables that contain arrays of user defined types - and insert into this tables and query data from these tables.  We need to create this tables based on user actions that define the structure of these tables.

We have learned that the PostgresSQL JDBC driver does not support columns that are arrays of user defined types in the JDBC standard model using the STRUCT feature.  From reading the pgsql-jdbc forum, it appears that support for user define types on the driver is a well-known limitation.

Would anyone be interested in doing a project to improve the PostgreSQL JDBC driver's support for user-defined types and arrays of user-defined types?  Could you give us description of the scope, an estimate for the time-frame and cost of such a project?  We are considering sponsoring this project for the community.

thanks,
Chris Maloney
