RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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)

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).

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).

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"?
