[Amazon](500310) Invalid operation when setting parameter to bpchar (JDBC)

Question

Hi,  
We are receiving the error _$$Amazon$$(500310) Invalid operation: Assert_ using JDBC and prepared statements when we set a value to a field with type "**bpchar**" and the query has a _GROUP BY_.  
  
Tested with several versions of Redshift JDBC driver, included latest 1.2.X version.  
**RedshiftJDBC42-no-awssdk-1.2.47.1071.jar**  
  
**Reproduce**  
1) Create next table  
create table parameters_bug (  
    c_int integer,  
    c_bpchar bpchar);  
2) Execute next query from a JDBC client using parameters  
select c_int  
    from parameters_bug  
    where c_bpchar = ?  
group by c_int;  
  
Query works fine if no parameter is used (i.e where c_bpchar = 'xx').  
  
Also, query is working fine with redshift driver version 2.0.0   
  
**Returned exception**

Answer

Are you still having this issue? If so, please provide a minimal code example or script that we can use to reproduce the problem.  
  
You can send me a direct message with this if needed.

Answer

I am also facing the same issue. It happens for any query with GROUP BY + JDBC Prepared Statements.  
  
A very simple repro case is:  
  
TABLE:    CREATE TABLE x (i INT);  
QUERY:   SELECT i FROM x GROUP BY i WHERE i = ?;  
  
The query needs to be run via a JDBC client using PreparedStatement.

Answer

Hi, you have the steps on my previous message:  
  
Reproduce  
1) Create next table  
create table parameters_bug (  
c_int integer,  
c_bpchar bpchar);  
2) Execute next query from a JDBC client using parameters  
select c_int  
from parameters_bug  
where c_bpchar = ?  
group by c_int;  
  
Query works fine if no parameter is used (i.e where c_bpchar = 'xx').  
  
The error happens executing that query with PreparedStatement, setting a value like 'xx' (setObject(1, "xx") ) . No more special steps.

Answer

I reproduce the issue using latest JDBC driver (2.0.0.3). Using 2.0.0.0 the query works fine.
