Yes, I had a look at this, and it is confirmed to be broken in the CVS tip. You can try the driver from jdbc.postgresql.org. It may be more stable. This did work recently ;(

However I can use ResultSet.getString() without a problem. I'm using 7.1.3 at the moment. Does ResultSet.getBytes() need to be fixed or should getTables() be modified? I'd be grateful for any insights. Or you can just tell me to use the latest cvs version of PostgreSQL :) What is the consensus on supporting older versions, will you phase out old code when 7.2 comes out? -- Jason Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
