Re: Correct way to send a composite type to Postgres

yea that is what i did. I was wondering though if there are gotchas here
for escaping? Are here are Utilities in the driver I can use to make sure
the data is escaped ok? any thoughts here.

I mean basically i did

public String getValue() {
return "(" + person.getId() + "," + person.getFirstName() + "," +
person.getLastName() + "," + person.getMiddleName() + ")";
}
