RE: [HACKERS] FYI: snapshot 4/28/1999 (fwd)

The weird thing is that the JDBC driver hasn't been sending an empty
string since 6.2.x. Starting from 6.3, I replaced the empty string with
a query to fetch the current DATESTYLE so the date and time code would
work properly.

It would be interesting to see if this patch fixes it however.

The following patch was posted this evening by Tom Lane that could fix
your
problem. It fixed a similar problem I was having with ODBC.

If you don't have CVS access and don't want to wait for tonight's
snapshot,
here is the patch:

case Local:

Peter, thought that you would like to know that the snapshot for
today
will not allow a jdbc connection. I don't know if this is a jdk
security thing, or not. The snapshot from Monday, allows
connections.

I'm using jdk1.2.1, solaris 2.7, WorkShop Compilers 5.0 98/12/15
C
5.0
