Re: OID-problem: metadata: use of TableGen O/R-mapper

I'm using an O/R-Mapper called TableGen. I had, just recently, a problem with
it having to do with OID's. I solved that problem by starting to use the 7.3
beta 3 JDBC-driver.

I didn't realize until just today that the latest stable version of the driver
seems to have a problem with TIMESTAMP (or do I have a
configuration-problem?).

As indicated below, my Test doesn't work with the latest stable driver, but it
does work with 7.3 beta 3.

I'm reluctant to use third-party beta-code on the current project; it handles
"other people's money" and financial accounts.

Do I have a config-problem? Is there an option to postmaster for setting the
default TIMESTAMP format? I have yet to search for such, but I wanted to get
this email out ASAP. I'm under a (as always, tight) deadline.

Any assistance with this matter would be much appreciated.

BTW, if this project could count on really speedy bug-fix responses from
postgres-developers (or specifically from postgres JDBC-driver developers),
perhaps use of 7.3 beta 3 in our production version would be worth the risk --
though that would ultimately not be for me to say.

Thank you,
