Re: [QUESTIONS] Accessing Postgresfrom JBuilder using JDBC

Peter,

In case anyone ask:

Here is what I did to ResultSet.java to get the proper Timestamp:
public Timestamp getTimestamp(int columnIndex) throws SQLException
{
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:sszzz");
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());
String s = getString(columnIndex);
if (s != null)
{
try {
java.util.Date d = df.parse(s);
return new Timestamp(d.getTime());
} catch (ParseException e) {
throw new SQLException("Bad Timestamp Format: at " +
e.getErrorOffset() + "
in " + s);
}
}
return null; // SQL NULL
}

It allows me to update Timestamp on jbuilder. I don't know what the
ramifications are elsewhere.

I never did look into the authorization wierdness. Frankly, it works and
I don't have time to figure out why ;) I did some stuff to getDate to get
it to work for me as well if anyone has a problem. I don't know how much
of this would effect people not using jbuilder so it may be a moot point.
