ResultSetMetaData getColumnTypeName()

[Marek Lewczuk <newsy(at)lewczuk(dot)com>]

Hi,
I would like to discuss an issue ResultSetMetaData.getColumnTypeName(). 
Within current implementation of PostgreSQL JDBC getColumnTypeName() 
returns only locale name of a type, even if it is a user-defined type. 
The JDBC docs says:
"...returns type name used by the database. If the column type is a 
user-defined type, then a fully-qualified type name is returned."

It means, that any other type that is not defined within pg_catalog 
should be returned with its schema name, so e.g. type my_price in schema 
blabla should be returned as "blabla.my_price". It's quite simple to fix 
it and I'm ready to do it, but before that I would like to ask about 
your opinion about changing this behavior. I found this problem when I 
needed to translate user-defined types to Java and without schema I 
cannot be sure, that a type is the one that I want to translate (cause 
there can be many types with the same local name).

I would be appreciated for your comments.

Ps. Kris - if we will accept, that getColumnTypeName() should return 
qualified name, then that will cause small changes within 
org.postgresql.jdbc2.TypeInfoCache class and I would like to know what 
about my previous changes within this class that are related to array types.

Best wishes,
Marek
