Re: Update for bug in org.postgresql.Connection method

Even simpler test. Just populate a simple table, and use the classical
PostgreSQL testing example by calling resultset.getObject() instead of
resultset.getString() or resultset.getInt().

When you call getObject(), it needs to know the type so it executes
getSQLType() internally.
