PostgreSQL version: 8.1.3
Operating system: Windows
Description: Exception with loading string value
Details:

I am trying to load table data using hibernate 3.1/postgres driver.

I tried with the following driver versions,
postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc2ee.jar
postgresql-8.2-506.jdbc2ee.jar
postgresql-8.2-506.jdbc3.jar

All ended up in ,

This happened when my code tried to load String data of data type bpchar in
postgres. Column size used in table defn is 10 and the data length is 10.
Could you please guide me how to resolve this?

Thanks
