An entry was added to the 5.1.8 changelog: The result set returned by getColumns() did not have the format defined in the JDBC API specifications. The fifth column, DATA_TYPE, of the result set should be of type INTEGER. Connector/J however returns SMALLINT.
Description: Result set returned by getColumns (Database metadata) does not have format as defined in the specifications. Fifth column of the result set is expected to be of type ‘int’ where MySQL driver returns it as ‘smallint’. This can give critical problems with BI tools which perform strict checking before retreiving metadata information. How to repeat: public void testMetadata() { Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb?user=myself&password=mypassword"); DatabaseMetaData metadata = connection.getMetaData(); ResultSet rs = metadata.getColumns(null, null, null, null); ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData(); System.out.println("Column Name is : " + rsmd.getColumnName(5)); // It is “DATA_TYPE” System.out.println("Column Type is : " + rsmd.getColumnType(5)); // Expected type here is Integer i.e. 4 }
