flawed in the following ways: 1. Only returned columns that had a default value defined, rather than all columns in a table 2. Used 2 * N + 1 queries to find out attributes, comments and typenames for N columns. By using some outer join syntax it is possible to retrieve all necessary information in just one SQL statement. This means this version is only suitable for PostgreSQL >= 7.1. Don't know whether that's a problem. I've tested this function with current sources and 7.1.3 and patched both jdbc1 and jdbc2. I haven't compiled nor tested the jdbc1 version though, as I have no JDK 1.1 available. Note the discussion in http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=1029626 regarding differences in obtaining comments on database object in 7.1 and 7.2. I was unable to use the following syntax (or similar ones): select ..., description from ... left outer join col_description(a.attrelid, a.attnum) description order by c.relname, a.attnum; (the error was parse error at or near '(') so I had to paste the actual code for the col_description function into the left outer join. Maybe someone who is more knowledgable about outer joins might provide me with a better SQL statement. Jeroen van Vianen |
