Description Evgeni Golov 2018-02-21 10:30:07 UTC

Description of problem:
The currently packaged version of PostgreSQL JDBC in RHEL7 is not compatible with PostgreSQL 9.6 and later servers, resulting in errors like "column am.amcanorder does not exist".

The upstream fix is at https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/pull/560 and https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/pull/569

PostgreSQL 9.6 is available from RHSCL


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
postgresql-jdbc-9.2.1002-5.el7

How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. use an app that needs/creates indexes with ASC/DESC sorting

Actual results:
ERROR: column am.amcanorder does not exist

Expected results:
query succeeds

Additional info:
please update to 9.4.1209 or later (Fedora has 9.4.1209, upstream is at 42.2.1)

Comment 2 Pavel Raiskup 2018-02-21 12:47:48 UTC

New version of the pgjdbc project has new dependencies, update
to the 42.2.1 would risky and too heavy weight.

How about an older version, like the one currently in Fedora? Anything newer than 9.4.1209 *should* be good (untested, tho).

Comment 4 Pavel Raiskup 2018-02-21 13:43:27 UTC

Backport for important fixes is always preferred in RHEL.  Any update has
some risks (and anything higher than 9.4.1206 brings complex packaging
changes).

Comment 5 David Ward 2018-04-19 17:38:45 UTC

What can be done to get a new postgres-jdbc rpm to address https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RHPAM-740 ? 

These are the repositories we build our openshift images with:
http://pulp.dist.prod.ext.phx2.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/os/
http://pulp.dist.prod.ext.phx2.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/ose/3.6/os/
http://pulp.dist.prod.ext.phx2.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/rhscl/1/os/
http://download.lab.bos.redhat.com/rcm-guest/puddles/RHOM/1.0/latest/x86_64/os

If the rpm could be created included the 9.6 fix noted above (which is less risky and doesn't have the new dependencies that 42.x does), perhaps it could be added to that last repo? "rcm-guest/puddles/RHOM/1.0/latest"?
