No, I didn't see any cases where the blame could be pegged squarely on
the driver, except the testSupportsStoredProcedures test.
If I run the test with this exclusion list:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/exclude.1.2.1.txt?button=Download
I get 18 failures out of 548 tests. One of them is
testSupportsStoredProcedures
This fails because in
org/postgresql/jdbc2/AbstractJdbc2DatabaseMetaData.java, we have
public boolean supportsStoredProcedures() throws SQLException
{
return false;
}
whereas the test harness expects this method to return true.
One other failure looks like a bug in the harness. Specifically,
testGetSQLState
fails because this condition
b.getSQLState() instanceof java.lang.String
tests false, where b is a SQLException. Now, the only way this can
possibly happen is if getSQLState() returns null. Looking at the
javadoc
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/SQLException.html#getSQLState%28%29
I don't see anything that says the method is not allowed to return
null. Looks like a bug in the CTS.
The remaining 16 failures are all due to the same reason. The backend
chokes on the following query (or some variation thereof):
| DB1=> select substring(version(), 1, 20) as version;
| version
| ----------------------
| PostgreSQL 7.3.4-RH
| (1 row)
| DB1=> create table Real_Tab (MAX_VAL REAL, MIN_VAL REAL,NULL_VAL REAL);
| CREATE TABLE
| DB1=> insert into Real_Tab values(3.4E38,1.4E-45, null);
| ERROR: Bad float4 input format -- underflow
The funny part is that I can do
| DB1=> select 1.4E-45;
| ?column?
| --------------------------------------------------
| 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000014
| (1 row)
| DB1=> select 3.4E38;
| ?column?
| -----------------------------------------
| 340000000000000000000000000000000000000
| (1 row)
But I would have to test this against a more recent version of the
backend. In any case, these 16 failures don't be seem to be caused
by the driver.
