It addresses three issues:

1. The problem with ResultSet's interface specifying 1-based indexing was
not quite fixed in 7.0.2.  absolute would stop the user form moving to the
first record (record 0 internally).

2. Absolute did not set current_row

3. For field.mod=-1, GetObject would try to return numeric values with a
precision of around 65000.  Now GetObject detects when field.mod==-1, and
passes that as the scale to getBigDecimal.  getBigDecimal detects when a
-1 is passed and simply does not scale the value returned.  You still get
the correct value back, it simply does not tweak the precision.

I'm working off of a source tree I just checked out from the
repository.  The diff is based on what was in the repository about ten
minutes ago.

Added org/postgresql/DriverClass.java to the list of files removed by make clean (it's dynamically built)
Fixed Statement, so that the update count is valid when an SQL DELETE operation is done.
While fixing the update count, made it easier to get the OID of the last insert as well. Example is in example/basic.java

I'm including a diff of
postgresql-7.0/src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc2/ResultSet.java.
I've clearly marked all the fixes I did. Would *someone* who has access
to the cvs please put this in?

to version 2, and fixes ResultSetMetaData.getColumnDisplaySize().

This implements some of the JDBC2 methods, fixes a bug introduced into the
JDBC1 portion of the driver, and introduces a new example, showing how to
use the CORBA ORB thats in Java2 with JDBC.

The Tar file contains the new files, the diff the changes to the others.
CHANGELOG is separate as I forgot to make a .orig ;-)

file containing the latest version of the JDBC driver, allowing it to be
compiled and used under JDK 1.2 and later.

NB: None (well almost none) of the new methods actually do anything. This
release only handles getting it to compile and run. Now this is done, I'll
start working on implementing the new stuff.

Now this tar file replaces everything under src/interfaces/jdbc. I had to
do it this way, rather than diffs, because most of the classes under the
postgresql subdirectory have moved to a new directory under that one, to
enable the support of the two JDBC standards.

Here's a list of files in the tar file. Any file not listed here (in the
postgresql directory) will have to be deleted, otherwise it could cause
the driver to fail:

This fixes a problem in ResultSet.getDate() when the column is NULL
(reported by Vincent Partington <Vincent.Partington@nmg.nl>)

And fixes a problem with Field's (ResultSet.getObject() was proving to be
slow as it repetedly send queries for oid -> name mapping - fixed by
creating a cache. (reported by Mario Ellebrecht <ellebrec@nads.de>)
