Hi list.

 

I've been testing Kevin's pgjdbc-ng driver and after his latest fixes (for making Blobs work) I can confirm that it seems stable for use with both Hibernate and EclipseLink (in a Spring-tx JAVA-SE environment). EclipseLink is close to impossible to use without proper Blob-support in the driver (Connection.createBlob), if you want JPA-fields of type=Blob mapped that is.

 

The memory-consumption is also very nice. I've tried up/down-loading > 1GB of data mapped as a Blob-field on a JPA-object (which uses streams under the hood, not byte-arrays) without any issues and the memory-usage stays very low according to jvisualvm.
