Nice link, didn't find it,
but i think its more likely to be unrelated to postgresql, but related
to base (and possibly only sdbc as you say)

i checked the oracle docu: there is also no character_datatype..
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/datatype.htm#i3253

To continue:
i tried the same setup with a local hsqldb:
* there the character_data type doesn't exist and isn't even available
as an option, the value here is varchar , as it should be

mvg,
