code: protected Object getColumnValue(ResultSet rs, int index) throws SQLException {
          return JdbcUtils.getResultSetValue(rs, index);
      }
docs: Retrieve a JDBC object value for the specified column.
  <p>The default implementation uses the <code>getObject</code> method.
  Additionally, this implementation includes a "hack" to get around Oracle
  returning a non standard object for their TIMESTAMP datatype.
  
  @param rs    is the ResultSet holding the data
  @param index is the column index
  @return the Object returned
