postgres and Jdbc 2.0

First, there is a list for the jdbc driver.

Second, which version are you using?

I know some of these are implemented already.

getUDT's, setFetchDirection, gettime, ...

There are a few things which I want to know.

1) Is there anything more which I am missing wrt JDBC 2.0 and postgres.

2) If I want to add these features to JDBC driver, is there anything
that has to go to database itself.

thanks

Generally JDBC questions are best discussed on the
pgsql-jdbc@postgresql.org list. First make sure you are working with the
latest source code available from
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgjdbc/projdisplay.php which as
Dave mentioned has implemented some of these methods already. As to
whether anything needs to be added to the server, that depends on your
implementation. The Blob/Clob positioning seems like it could be done
more efficiently on the server side. Also the server doesn't have a Ref
datatype, so you really can't implement get/setRef without it.

Check a current driver from jdbc.postgresql.org.

public void setFetchDirection(int direction) throws SQLException

Implemented already.

public boolean rowDeleted() throws SQLException
public boolean rowInserted() throws SQLException
public boolean rowUpdated() throws SQLException

Implemented already; you may not like the fact they always return false,
but this is accurate and consistent with what the database metadata
claims. The server does not provide a way to implement these in any
other way.

Statement.java
public int getFetchDirection() throws SQLException
public void setFetchDirection(int direction) throws SQLException

Both implemented already.

public void registerOutParameter(int parameterIndex, int sqlType,
String typeName) throws SQLException

The underlying server does not support out parameters. This is also why
the getXXX accessors on CallableStatement are not implemented.

Array.java
public Object getArray(long index, int count, Map map) throws
SQLException
public java.sql.ResultSet getResultSet(long index, int count,
java.util.Map map) throws SQLException

How are you obtaining the Array implementation? It's an interface.

You need to test a more recent driver.

Many of the features you see as missing are actually just unsupported by
the underlying server -- it's not something you can fix in the driver. I
don't think that JDBC2 *requires* support for many of these features so
long as the database metadata is accurate about what it claims to support.

The fetch direction is a hint only -- you can't expect particular
behaviour. There are improvements to cursor support that could be done,
but they won't change the client-visible behaviour.

2) If I want to add these features to JDBC driver, is there anything
that has to go to database itself.

I don't understand the question.

Sorry -- misinterpreted this one.

You can't have arbitary out parameters. You can have a single out return
parameter for a function call. I assumed you were trying for arbitary
out parameters.

The registerOutParameter() variant that takes a UDT typename is not
implemented as the driver does not support UDTs.

There's no obvious reason why the unimplemented getXXX() methods are
unimplemented (those that are implemented on ResultSet, at least)

this will be implemented shortly, but it will rely on a specific
function mechanism.
