It appears the getBytes was previously being used to return a byte array of any arbitrary column.
Fixes for blobs seem to have broken this. The question is as Jason pointed out which do we fix. It doesn't seem unreasonable to be able to return a byte array for any arbitray column. On the other hand is this the intended use?

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 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
