Re: feature request

Jan,

Well the reason that this is a problem is that the driver has some
"extra" features in it which allow you to store an object into a table
automagically. Specifically the serialization code.

Also, what would you like the driver to do with setObject(n, date) since
there is a setDate(), and a setTimestamp, which should the driver map
to? How do other drivers handle this?
