You can now do this in CVS HEAD by using setObject(n, someStringObject,
Types.OTHER). Or you can enable it globally for all strings by using
"stringtype=unspecified" at the cost of less type safety (which I
wouldn't recommend)

Normally the meaning of setString() is pretty explicit, though - it says
that you want the target type to be text or varchar. If the underlying
database type is something different, I don't think it's unreasonable to
require you to either use a different method, or put a cast in your query.
