PATCH: JDBC compile w/ jikes

Hi all,

The JDBC2 driver included with PostgreSQL 7.1 doesn't compile
with jikes (1.13). Here's the errors you get:

[javac] Compiling 41 source files to /home/nconway/postgresql-7.1/src/interfaces/jdbc/build
[javac]
[javac] Found 3 semantic errors compiling "/home/nconway/postgresql-7.1/src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc2/DatabaseMetaData.java":
[javac]
[javac] 1691. case 'r':
[javac] <->
[javac] *** Error: The type of this expression, "char", is not assignment-convertible to the type of the switch statement expression, "byte".
[javac]
[javac]
[javac] 1694. case 'i':
[javac] <->
[javac] *** Error: The type of this expression, "char", is not assignment-convertible to the type of the switch statement expression, "byte".
[javac]
[javac]
[javac] 1697. case 'S':
[javac] <->
[javac] *** Error: The type of this expression, "char", is not assignment-convertible to the type of the switch statement expression, "byte".

I'm not sure if this is a bug with jikes, or if Sun's javac is just lax.

Attached is a trivial patch which fixes it for me (it compiles, at any rate).

Cheers,

Neil
