Re: Support for SQLInput / SQLOutput

I have an update on this issue. I think the PGobject has some flaws,
which I experienced when using it in combination with stored
functions. Check out this user group post I have added:
http://groups.google.com/group/pgsql.interfaces.jdbc/browse_thread/thread/58568fd0699b246f

Maybe, adding support for SQLData in the JDBC driver will resolve some
of these issues?
