I've made a patch to allow the querying of a java function to be more intelligent about which method is selected. How can I submit this patch?
The change is to allow overloaded methods to be used. In my company, we use Oracle in production, but many of us use hsqldb to develop on. We use the Oracle DECODE function in our SQL code. This function is of the form DECODE(expr, [match, return]+, default) where 'expr' is an expression. If it matches one of the 'match' values, the result is 'return'. If it doesn't match any of the 'match' values, the result is 'default'. There can be one or more pairs of 'match' and 'return'. I created a class/method to implement this behavior, but the existing hsqldb logic merely finds the first method with the same name. Hence it can't distinguish between methods with 4 or 6 or 8 arguments and make the appropriate determination. The patch allows it to distinguish between the number of arguments and attempts to determine which method to use if there is more than one with the same number of arguments. jim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
