Hello: Can you please tell me whether this behavior expected or is it a bug?
1. a table with SMALLINT is created: CREATE TABLE Test_Table (pk_VARCHAR_5FDG6 VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, SMALLINT_Q6Y06 SMALLINT, PRIMARY KEY(pk_VARCHAR_5FDG6)) 2. values are inserted and Java Short datatype is used to set SMALLINT values 3. values in the table are read with a PreparedStatement "select * from Test_Table" and then read with: while (resultSet.next()) { final Object object = resultSet.getObject(columnIdx); } 4. at which point, resultSet.getMetaData().getColumnType(columnIdx) == SMALLINT, but object.getClass() is java.lang.Integer, whereas I would be expecting java.lang.Short.
