[JDBC] SQL CHAR type using setByte()

[David Wall]

I have a Java byte field that I'm trying to store in the database.  It has a value of (byte)'0' which is a binary 48.   When I use preparedStatement.setByte() with that value, to store in a Postgresql CHAR field, it only stores a '4'.  It's as if the binary 48 were being converted to a String and then the first byte from the string was stored in the database.  I'm using 7.1.1beta4.   Does this make any sense?  Am I using the wrong SQL type or the wrong JDBC PreparedStatement set call?   Thanks, David
