Hi,
I wanted to have case-insensitive user names in my db and found that
citext postgresql data type
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/citext.html) is exactly
what I need.
So I have added to my db and it seemed to work fine when query db from
command line interface, but when I run it from java prepared statement,
things do not work as expected.
For example, I have user name 'Leon' stored in the db and want to get
password for him.
If I execute query in sql console:
SELECT password FROM users WHERE name = 'leon';
I hope that's not an example from your code... because storing passwords
in clear text is almost always an *INCREDIBLY* bad idea.
If at all possible, hash the password using a salted hash function, and
compare the hashes when checking passwords.
final String query = "SELECT password FROM users WHERE name = ?";
final PreparedStatement stmt =
dbConnection.prepareStatement(query);
stmt.setString(1, "leon");
password won't be found.
What's the query sent to the backend? Enable query and parameter logging
in postgresql.conf, re-run your test, and see what the server receives.
