Re: Bug in postgresql7.1 jdbc2 DatabaseMetaData class

I see your fix in the current sources so we should be OK:

tuple[0] = null; // Catalog name
tuple[1] = null; // Schema name
tuple[2] = r.getBytes(1); // Table name
tuple[3] = (relKind==null) ? null : relKind.getBytes(); // Table type
tuple[4] = remarks; // Remarks
v.addElement(tuple);

> On line 1707 there is a dereference of 'relKind' which may very likely
> be set to null. This can cause a null pointer exception. I've include
> dthe workaround I am using, though there is almost certainly somethig
> better.
