java.sql2 Minor oversight: Missing TIMESTAMP type

[Lance Andersen]

Keep in mind that what is in the sandbox is a work in process and should not be considered final.    As Douglas points out,  JDBCType was added more as a convenience to the sql2 package for now.  I also expect the sql2 package name to change but for now allows a means for discussion as we work on the API.

As the new API is independent of the old one there is some argument in favor of duplication. But since the duplicates would (so far) be identical there is a good argument for reuse. I would lean toward reuse but the current draft duplicates to emphasize the independence.
