Re: type cache info fix

Hello Gary,

the problem with this change is that it is not backwards compatible. Though
the question is, why somebody would like to keep a not deterministic
behavior of the current code.

And if you are fixing this, probably it would make sense to fix
getSQLType() as well.

Also it can fill your server logs with errors, if the type does not exist,
regtype cast will throw an ERROR

I have prepared a little bit different change:
https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/pull/52

Cheers,

-- Valentine
