Обсуждение: Retrieving arrays
Hello,
I wrote this method to read arrays from my result set.
public class MyClass {
public <T> T[] getArray(ResultSet rs, String column) throws
Exception {
if(rs.getArray(column) != null) {
return (T[]) rs.getArray(column).getArray();
}
return null;
}
}
I call i like this:
String[] values = MyClass.<String>getArray(rs, "myStringArrayColumn"));
This works fine. ( "myStringArrayColumn" is of type character
varying(64)[])
But, when I call:
Integer[] values = MyClass.<Integer>getArray(rs,
"myIntegerArrayColumn"));
( "myIntegerArrayColumn" is of type integer[])
I get a:
java.lang.ClassCastException: [I
Any ideas?
Thanks
Java 5 doesn't support auto-boxing an int[] as an Integer[].

Ok, thanks! So, that probably means I can not do this sort of thing
with Generics?
Is there any way the driver could get the same behavior as the driver
used in PL/Java? In PL/Java i can do:
return (String[]) rs.getObject(column);

It seems that you misunderstand the concepts of Generics.
Your method will call the getArray() method, and then try to cast (not
convert) whatever this method returns into an T[]. And, due to erasure,
this cast is not even done in MyClass.getArray(), but in the code that
calls MyClass.getArray().
So getArray() does not even know about T, it just returns what its
mapping of the PostgreSQL types to java tells it to.
http://www.angelikalanger.com/GenericsFAQ/JavaGenericsFAQ.html should be
a good reading, and in case of any doubts,

Yes, it works fine. ResultSet.getArray maps the varchar[] to a String[],
and then your 'String[] values=' assignment casts that to String[],
which works fine.

This one fails. ResultSet.getArray maps the integer[] to a int[], not to
an Integer[]. And so, the cast will fail.

Hello,
yes you are right, I don't really understand Generics that well. But
it is a little clearer now :-)
Anyway, I was hoping there would be a clean way to get arrays from
the result set, Generics or not, using a single method. I would like
to avoid:
getStringArray, getIntegerArray etc.
The reason I need to do this is that I use two different drivers for
PostgreSQL with the same code, and they handle arrays differently.
Thanks!

So you say that the the other one (pljava, IIRC) maps a postgresql integer[] to an java.lang.Integer[] in java, and not an int[] like pgjdbc? Looks strange. Does the jdbc spec promote one or the other behaviour? However, I don't know a clean solution. Markus -- Markus Schaber | Logical Tracking&Tracing International AG Dipl.

Yes, the spec, and the desire to not create a huge number of objects does promote one method over another pp 285 from JDBC API Tutorial and Reference 3rd Edition states "The data type for the elements is determined by the standard mapping from JDBC Types to Objects ... There is one very important exception to this rule. If the base type of the array maps to a primitive type in the Java programming language, the base type of the returned array will be the primitive type rather than the Object type" So I'd suggest you file a bug with pl/java Dave > > However, I don't know a clean solution. > > Markus > -- > Markus Schaber | Logical Tracking&Tracing International AG > Dipl.

Hello, In PL/Java: String[] values = (String[]) rs.getObject(column); Regular driver: String[] values = (String[]) rs.getArray(column).getArray(); Strange..

Patches are welcome I haven't looked at the spec, but I also think this is outside of the spec, but we have discussed it and feel it is intuitive enough to accept.

Hello again. I have been away for a while.
Column "stringarray" is VARCHAR[]
Column "integerarray" is INTEGER[]
System.out.println("getObject: " + rs.getObject
("integerarray").getClass());
System.out.println("getObject: " + rs.getObject
("stringarray").getClass());
System.out.println("getArray: " + rs.getArray("integerarray").getClass
());
System.out.println("getArray: " + rs.getArray("stringarray").getClass
());
Regular driver:
getObject: class org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3Array
getObject: class org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3Array
getArray: class org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3Array
getArray: class org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3Array
PL/Java
getObject: class [Ljava.lang.Integer;
getObject: class [Ljava.lang.String;
ERROR: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot derive a value of class
java.sql.Array from an object of class [Ljava.lang.Integer;
ERROR: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot derive a value of class
java.sql.Array from an object of class [Ljava.lang.String;
