ARP is so restrictive, I don't even want to use it anymore

[patricker]

Thanks for the guidance @Kyle_Porter, I agree it’s far from ideal, but matching the package name does indeed let me extend the class as you suggested. I don’t suppose you have a fix for JDBC drivers that don’t support getTimestamp with a Calendar object . I opened a question about that as well (I found it easier to modify the JDBC library than ARP…):

Enhancement Request - ARP JDBC Data Type Mapping

When mapping data types, date and timestamp objects need to support NOT passing in a calendar object to the getDate and getTimestamp methods. In my scenario, the JDBC driver just doesn’t implement these versions of the methods and only supports calling the non-Calendar method. Something like the enable_utc_calendar option shown below. source: name: “DATE” enable_utc_calendar: false dremio: name: “date” source: name: “TIMESTAMP” enable_utc_calendar: false dremio: name: “timestamp”
