conditionally.  This is more useful than giving an error, even though it's
not truly the correct behavior.  Per today's pghackers discussion.

anyway, just reverse-convert and see if we get the same answer.

Also, remove compile-time MAXBACKENDS limit per long-ago proposal.
You can now set MaxBackends as high as your kernel can stand without
any reconfiguration/recompilation.

Actually, I think this change has a consequence for this method
in the same class:

    public boolean isDefinitelyWritable(int column)
        throws SQLException
    {
        return isWritable(column);
    }

This is from the JDBC spec
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSetMetaData.html):

  isReadOnly() - Indicates whether the designated column is
definitely not writable.

  isWritable() - Indicates whether it is possible for a write on
the designated column to succeed.

  isDefinitelyWritable() - Indicates whether a write on the
designated column will definitely succeed.

At this time we don't really implement the fine semantics of
these methods. I would suggest the following defaults:

  isReadOnly()             false
  isWritable()             true
  isDefinitelyWritable()   false

And that would mean that your patch is correct, but
isDefinitelyWritable() would need to be patched accordingly:

    public boolean isDefinitelyWritable(int column)
        throws SQLException
    {
        return false;
    }

Again, both in jdbc1 and jdbc2.

The author probably intended:

    public boolean isWritable(int column) throws SQLException
    {
        return !isReadOnly(column);
    }

And if he would have coded it this way he wouldn't have made
this mistake :-)

Why exactly? In a way, true is just as incorrect as false, and
perhaps it should throw "not implemented". But I guess that
would be too non-backwardly-compatible.

Will you submit a patch?

Thanks. However, I seem to have left a single debug statement in there :-(

Here's a patch to remove it.

written a generic framework of rules that the contrib makefiles can
use instead of writing their own each time.  You only need to set a few
variables and off you go.
