Re: default values: msg#00224

Subject: Re: default values
I think Felipe has a point here. I don't see any good reason why the driver's 
methods can't be a SUPERSET of those specified in the JDBC standard. As long 
as there's nothing forcing you to use the non-standard methods, it should be 
fine. So, for those who wish to stick to the standard for portability, there 
is predictable behavior; and for those who want some of the extra goodies 
provided by Postgres, there are options.
