Bug reference: 7715
Logged by: Ian Dees

PostgreSQL version: 9.1.6
Operating system: Ubuntu 11.04
Description: =
Currently the hstore documentation [0] says "hstore has GiST and GIN index
support for the @>, ?, ?& and ?| operators", but the "?" character is a
special character in JDBC and JDBC always tries to replace it with a
parameter [1]. Because of the intermingling of these two issues, it's
impossible to use the index when querying an hstore row using JDBC with the
"?" operator.
