Re: The use of Jive with postgresql

Ned,

This is due to a functionality change in the 7.2 drivers from 7.1. In
7.2 the drivers support 'bytea' as the standard binary datatype for
postgresql. In 7.1 and earlier the standard binary datatype was assumed
to be 'oid' and further assumed that 'oid' meant LargeObject.

The 1.2.4 Jive tables store binary data (column filterObject in table
JiveFilter). It is interesting to note that in Jive 2 they no longer
are storing any binary data.

There are two ways to deal with this:

Change the datatype of the JiveFilter.filterObject column to be bytea
instead of oid. (however if you already have a populated database that
probably isn't an option).

or

Have the driver revert back to the old behavior. The 7.2 driver has a
compatibility mode that allows you to switch the behavior back to what
it was in the 7.1 release. By passing the parameter 'compatible=7.1' to
your connection you should get the old behavior. This can be done by
adding '?compatible=7.1' onto the end of the JDBC connection URL (i.e.
jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb?compatible=7.1 )

thanks,
--Barry
