Thread: getColumnDisplayWidth() returns 0x7fffffff for char varying
This may not be a JDBC issue, but I encountered it using JDBC and a remote host
My installation is:
DBMS: PostgreSQL 8.3.4 (Windows XP)
JDBC Driver: PostgreSQL Native Driver PostgreSQL 8.4devel JDBC4 (build 700)
I have a current build and have run the test suite:
runtest:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
My problem is that getColumnDisplayWidth() returns the widths
column(1) uname(2147483647)
column(2) pass(2147483647)
column(3) timestamp(11)
column(4) icon1(11)
column(5) icon2(11)
column(6) icon3(11)
column(7) type(11)
column(8) creation(11)
column(9) until(11)
column(10) canxfer(1)
for the following table:
CREATE TABLE vcnmaster
(
uname character varying NOT NULL,
pass character varying,
"timestamp" integer,
icon1 integer,
icon2 integer,
icon3 integer,
"type" integer,
creation integer,
"until" integer,
canxfer boolean,
CONSTRAINT vcnmasterkey PRIMARY KEY (uname)
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
Is this expected behavior?
Thanks.

PS. I can provide an Ethereal capture of the interaction if needed.

Hello I can not answer to the expected behavior, but I maintain an eye on various output for data types from the PostgreSQL JDBC for the MyJSQLView application. Though I have not run the current driver here is data from the last JDBC driver tested. The last number is getColumnDisplaySize() since it looks like the Java API only specifies this method for ResultSetMetaData, not getColumnDisplayWidth().

But it appears that instead of getting metadata aboutthe result set, getColumnDisplayWidth() is providing metadata about the table schema (DatabaseMetaData). Of your fouritems: 11 varchar_type_30 Varchar Type 30 java.lang.String varchar 30 12 charvarying_type Charvarying Type java.lang.String varchar 2147483647 13 char_type Char Type java.lang.String bpchar 30 14 text_type Text Type java.lang.String text 2147483647 Three of them (11, 12, and 14) could potentially have column widths anywhere from 0 up to 30 in the case of 11, and 0 upto anything in the case of 12 and 14. But the code in AbstractJdbc2ResultSetMetaData appears not to be scanning the ResultSet. If there is a consensus that this is incorrect, I'd be happy to undertake a fix. Dan

If you can pointto the approximate date, I'd appreciate it. For any ResultSet that is completely contained in the address space of the requestor, the return value can be the maximumlength of the values for the requested column in the result set. If the ResultSet is not complete in the requestor'saddress space at the time of the getColumnDisplayWidth() call, that might be the time to return Integer.MAX_VALUEsignifying no useful information. Most ResultSet's are reasonably small, so I would hope that doesn't happenoften. But even then, some useful information can be provided to the caller. The maximum length across the receivedrows can be returned, with a negative value indicating that this is only an estimate based on the received rows.However, if negative values break some implementations, then that is precluded.
