[JDBC] PATCH: JDBC compile w/ jikes

[Neil Conway]

Hi all,

The JDBC2 driver included with PostgreSQL 7.1 doesn't compile
with jikes (1.13). Here's the errors you get:

    [javac] Compiling 41 source files to 
/home/nconway/postgresql-7.1/src/interfaces/jdbc/build
    [javac] 
    [javac] Found 3 semantic errors compiling

    [javac] *** Error: The type of this expression, "char", is not 
assignment-convertible to the type of the switch statement expression, "byte".

I'm not sure if this is a bug with jikes, or if Sun's javac is just lax.

Attached is a trivial patch which fixes it for me (it compiles, at any rate).

Cheers,

Neil
