ResultSet.getTimestamp() Exception (UPDATE)

Bill Bunting <bunting@incentivemeetings.com> — 2000-12-20T02:52:28Z

I downloaded the postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz source and compiled the JDBC 
driver using make jdbc2, installed the new JAR file and it works 
now.  There may be a problem in the RPM or something.  Sorry that I can not 
be more specific.  Thank you.


Previously, I wrote:
------------------------
Version: Postgresql 7.0.3-2 (RPM for RedHat6.2)
JDBC Version: 7.0.3-2 (RPM for RedHat6.2)
Java Version: Sun build 1.3.0

Calls to ResultSet.getTimestamp(...) throw an exception and report the 
following error:

"Bad Timestamp Format at 19 in 2000-12-18 12:31:15.77-05"

To reproduce:
1. Create a table using the TIMESTAMP SQL type.
2. Insert a row with a timestamp (using psql)
3. Use JDBC getTimestamp()

For use, this bug is severe since it prevents us from using the timestamps 
in our EJB entity beans.
