ResultSetMetaData.getColumnDisplaySize() returns -1 for any column that has an unknown size. Consider the REMARKS column of getTables(). This data comes from the system's pg_description.description column which is of type "text". There is no defined length for this, so we have decided to return -1. > Additionally, I don't understand why the data type of column 1 is described > as "OTHER", as opposed to all the other columns, which are of type "VARCHAR" > (attained through ResultSetMetaData.getColumnType() method). > TABLE_CAT is generated by an untyped "SELECT NULL", we should probably cast this to name, or report the currently connected database name here.
