Re: Comparing Enumerated Types between JDBC and ODBC drivers

Hi,

First, You need to distinguish between SQL COMPLEX / COMPOSITE types
(sometimes called as UDT) and PSQL internal types. Interval is internal
type, such like integer, varchar, etc and it's mapped in JDBC to Java
object from PSQL JDBC api. There is no public (JDK, OO, SUN) for
Interval, but you have right in your situation you can get this type by
calling getString() and you will get it's compatible representation, as
well setString() should store those, too. You can find internal types
which doesn't have mapping to any Java class, too.

If you want SQL COMPOSITE types, only one way to access them (as I
think), is similarly, by get/set String. JDBC driver doesn't support
custom mapping of UDT to Java classes.

It's looks ODBC driver has better support for PSQL.

Kind regards,
