lidavidm opened a new issue, #35916: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/35916
### Describe the enhancement requested The APIs only let us infer the type based on the data type, precision, and scale, effectively. But in the wild, there are always exceptions; for example, the [JDBC driver for PostgreSQL maps both `TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE` and `TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE` to just `Types.TIMESTAMP`](https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/issues/996), so arrow-jdbc dutifully maps them both to naïve timestamps (wrong!). JdbcFieldInfo should expose all the available information it gets. For convenience, it should also work with `DatabaseMetaData#getColumns`. ### Component(s) Java -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
