[GENERAL] strange java query behaviour

[Szymon Guz]

Hi,
I've got a quite strange situation. Below is a simple test

    @Test
    public void test() throws SQLException {

        String query1 = "SELECT * FROM information_schema.schemata WHERE
schema_name = ?";
        String query2 = "SELECT * FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace where nspname
= ?";

        check(query1, "1", "public");
        check(query2, "2", "public");

    }

    private void check(final String query, final String info, final String
param) throws SQLException {
        PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement(query);
        stmt.setString(1, param);
        ResultSet schemas = stmt.executeQuery();
        boolean exists = schemas.next();
        System.out.println(info + " : " + exists);
    }

The output is:

1 : false
2 : true

When I query the database using psql, both queries return sensible data
(even when I prepare statements in postgres).

I'd like to use information_schema rather than using pg_catalog.
