2001-10-23 Thread Mark Lillywhite
Hi Attached is a unified diff to DatabaseMetadata from the jdbc2 interface. It fixes a bug where the metadata does not include the scale/precision of the database columns. We have been using this patch successfully for about 2 years, it would be great to finally get it into the sources.
