- These methods in org.postgresql.jdbc2.ResultSet are now implemented:
            getBigDecimal(int) ie: without a scale (why did this get missed?)
            getBlob(int)
            getCharacterStream(int)
            getConcurrency()
            getDate(int,Calendar)
            getFetchDirection()
            getFetchSize()
            getTime(int,Calendar)
            getTimestamp(int,Calendar)
            getType()
          NB: Where int represents the column name, the associated version
              taking a String were already implemented by calling the int
              version.
        - These methods no longer throw the not implemented but the new noupdate
          error. This is in preparation for the Updateable ResultSet support
          which will overide these methods by extending the existing class to
          implement that functionality, but needed to show something other than
          notimplemented:
            cancelRowUpdates()
            deleteRow()
        - Added new error message into errors.properties "postgresql.noupdate"
          This is used by jdbc2.ResultSet when an update method is called and
          the ResultSet is not updateable. A new method notUpdateable() has been
          added to that class to throw this exception, keeping the binary size
          down.
        - Added new error message into errors.properties "postgresql.psqlnotimp"
          This is used instead of unimplemented when it's a feature in the
          backend that is preventing this method from being implemented.
        - Removed getKeysetSize() as its not part of the ResultSet API

        - Applied modified patch from Richard Bullington-McGuire
          <rbulling@microstate.com>. I had to modify it as some of the code
          patched now exists in different classes, and some of it actually
          patched obsolete code.

        - Updated Implementation to include both ANT & JBuilder
        - Updated README to reflect the changes since 7.0
	- Created jdbc.jpr file which allows JBuilder to be used to edit the
          source. JBuilder _CAN_NOT_ be used to compile. You must use ANT for
          that. It's only to allow JBuilders syntax checking to improve the
          drivers source. Refer to Implementation for more details

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This subtree contains tools, modules, and examples that are not
maintained as part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because
they only address a limited audience or are too inelegant to be
sold as an official feature.  That, however, does not preclude
their usefulness.

Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the
module.  Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed
with `gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the
`configure' script in the top-level directory.  Some directories
supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types.  After you
have installed the files you need to register the new entities in
the database system by running the commands in the supplied .sql
file.  For example,

	$ psql -d dbname -f module.sql

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
