Method Detail

addCoreType

void addCoreType(String pgTypeName,
               Integer oid,
               Integer sqlType,
               String javaClass,
               Integer arrayOid)

addDataType

void addDataType(String type,
               Class<? extends PGobject> klass)
                 throws SQLException

Throws:

SQLException

getSQLType

int getSQLType(int oid)
               throws SQLException

Look up the SQL typecode for a given type oid.

Parameters:

oid - the type's OID

Returns:

the SQL type code (a constant from Types) for the type

Throws:

SQLException - if an error occurs when retrieving sql type

getSQLType

int getSQLType(String pgTypeName)
               throws SQLException

Look up the SQL typecode for a given postgresql type name.

Parameters:

pgTypeName - the server type name to look up

Returns:

the SQL type code (a constant from Types) for the type

Throws:

SQLException - if an error occurs when retrieving sql type

getPGType

int getPGType(String pgTypeName)
              throws SQLException

Look up the oid for a given postgresql type name. This is the inverse of getPGType(int).

Parameters:

pgTypeName - the server type name to look up

Returns:

the type's OID, or 0 if unknown

Throws:

SQLException - if an error occurs when retrieving PG type

getPGType

String getPGType(int oid)
                 throws SQLException

Look up the postgresql type name for a given oid. This is the inverse of getPGType(String).

Parameters:

oid - the type's OID

Returns:

the server type name for that OID or null if unknown

Throws:

SQLException - if an error occurs when retrieving PG type

getPGArrayElement

int getPGArrayElement(int oid)
                      throws SQLException

Look up the oid of an array's base type given the array's type oid.

Parameters:

oid - the array type's OID

Returns:

the base type's OID, or 0 if unknown

Throws:

SQLException - if an error occurs when retrieving array element

getPGArrayType

int getPGArrayType(String elementTypeName)
                   throws SQLException

Determine the oid of the given base postgresql type's array type

Parameters:

elementTypeName - the base type's

Returns:

the array type's OID, or 0 if unknown

Throws:

SQLException - if an error occurs when retrieving array type

getArrayDelimiter

char getArrayDelimiter(int oid)
                       throws SQLException

Determine the delimiter for the elements of the given array type oid.

Parameters:

oid - the array type's OID

Returns:

the base type's array type delimiter

Throws:

SQLException - if an error occurs when retrieving array delimiter

getPGTypeNamesWithSQLTypes

Iterator<String> getPGTypeNamesWithSQLTypes()

getPGobject

Class<? extends PGobject> getPGobject(String type)

getJavaClass

String getJavaClass(int oid)
                    throws SQLException

Throws:

SQLException

getTypeForAlias

String getTypeForAlias(String alias)

getPrecision

int getPrecision(int oid,
               int typmod)

getScale

int getScale(int oid,
           int typmod)

isCaseSensitive

boolean isCaseSensitive(int oid)

isSigned

boolean isSigned(int oid)

getDisplaySize

int getDisplaySize(int oid,
                 int typmod)

getMaximumPrecision

int getMaximumPrecision(int oid)

requiresQuoting

boolean requiresQuoting(int oid)
                        throws SQLException

Throws:

SQLException

requiresQuotingSqlType

boolean requiresQuotingSqlType(int sqlType)
                               throws SQLException

Returns true if particular sqlType requires quoting. This method is used internally by the driver, so it might disappear without notice.

Parameters:

sqlType - sql type as in java.sql.Types

Returns:

true if the type requires quoting

Throws:

SQLException - if something goes wrong
