Type modifier decoding is implemented in the
Column
class. The code had to know how to decode the fmod value according to different types, therefore it is a maze of ifs and cannot be extended if not changing the code.Move the parsing to the
TypeInfo
object, and within it to aTypeModifier
sub-object. This way the code to decode the fmod is automatically dispatched according to the type. DifferentTypeModifier
subclasses can parse the different Postgres types that support modifiers.Close #450.
