Re: DatabaseMetaData oddities

Is there any interest in these patches? Should I resend them elsewhere?

Subject: [JDBC] DatabaseMetaData oddities
From: Oliver Jowett <oliver(at)opencloud(dot)com>

These patches fix some oddities in the postgresql JDBC driver's
implementation of DatabaseMetaData.

The patches are against recent CVS; I've used them against a 7.2.3 server
and the current CVS (7.4devel) server successfully.

Quick summaries:

pgsql_getTypeInfo-ordering.patch:
correct ordering of results from DatabaseMetaData.getTypeInfo().

pgsql_more-jdbc3-metadata.patch:
implement some unimplemented JDBC3 DatabaseMetaData methods.

pgsql_reduce-table-name-length.patch:
reduce getMaxTableNameLength() by 5 to account for the server
appending _pkey to generate an index name.

and one non-metadata patch:

pgsql_null-statement-tostring.patch:
avoid NullPointerException in AbstractJdbc1Statement.toString()

Hopefully these are useful to someone..
