If it does not exist in the array (usually because a logical type wasn't previously assigned) it defaults to the id of the minor type. So Java always uses the MinorType as the type id and allows c++ (and others) to send arbitrary type mappings. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
