Hi Jan, thanks for using MonetDB, and sorry for the inconvenience. We'll investigate the reported problem shortly. However, the monetdb-bugs mailing list is actually not meant to be used directly (admittedly our fault, in case we didn't communicate this clearly and/or haven't prevented direct postings, yet). The monetdb-bugs mailing list is mainly meant notify developers of newly files bug reports and their follow-up comments. Hence, could you please file your bug using the SF bug tracker at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=482468&group_id=56967&func=browse ?

Hi,

When using prepared statements in Java, I am unable to pass negative integer values to the database:

String APPEND_JOURNAL = "INSERT INTO journal VALUES (?, ?);"; st = con.prepareStatement(APPEND_JOURNAL); st.setInt(1, fromAcc); st.setInt(2, -amount); st.executeUpdate();

The table "journal" has two columns: account (int) and amount (bigint).

The insert statement executes without error, but inserts the positive value (+amount, cf. line 4). The debugger, in contrast, says something like "exec 3(200, -30)". Note that is has a minus in front of the second parameter.

Without prepared statements, however, inserting negative values works perfactly fine.

Thanks, Jan
