  34  * A table of data representing a database result set, which
  35  * is usually generated by executing a statement that queries the database.
  36  *
  37  * <P>A <code>ResultSet</code> object  maintains a cursor pointing
  38  * to its current row of data.  Initially the cursor is positioned
  39  * before the first row. The <code>next</code> method moves the
  40  * cursor to the next row, and because it returns <code>false</code>
  41  * when there are no more rows in the <code>ResultSet</code> object,
  42  * it can be used in a <code>while</code> loop to iterate through
  43  * the result set.
  44  * <P>
  45  * A default <code>ResultSet</code> object is not updatable and
  46  * has a cursor that moves forward only.  Thus, you can
  47  * iterate through it only once and only from the first row to the
  48  * last row. It is possible to
  49  * produce <code>ResultSet</code> objects that are scrollable and/or
  50  * updatable.  The following code fragment, in which <code>con</code>
  51  * is a valid <code>Connection</code> object, illustrates how to make
  52  * a result set that is scrollable and insensitive to updates by others, and
  53  * that is updatable. See <code>ResultSet</code> fields for other
  54  * options.
  55  * <PRE>
  56  *
  57  *       Statement stmt = con.createStatement(
  58  *                                      ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
  59  *                                      ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
  60  *       ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT a, b FROM TABLE2");
  61  *       // rs will be scrollable, will not show changes made by others,
  62  *       // and will be updatable
  63  *
  64  * </PRE>
  65  * The <code>ResultSet</code> interface provides
  66  * <i>getter</i> methods (<code>getBoolean</code>, <code>getLong</code>, and so on)
  67  * for retrieving column values from the current row.
  68  * Values can be retrieved using either the index number of the
  69  * column or the name of the column.  In general, using the
  70  * column index will be more efficient.  Columns are numbered from 1.
  71  * For maximum portability, result set columns within each row should be
  72  * read in left-to-right order, and each column should be read only once.
  73  *
  74  * <P>For the getter methods, a JDBC driver attempts
  75  * to convert the underlying data to the Java type specified in the
  76  * getter method and returns a suitable Java value.  The JDBC specification
  77  * has a table showing the allowable mappings from SQL types to Java types
  78  * that can be used by the <code>ResultSet</code> getter methods.
  79  *
  80  * <P>Column names used as input to getter methods are case
  81  * insensitive.  When a getter method is called  with
  82  * a column name and several columns have the same name,
  83  * the value of the first matching column will be returned.
  84  * The column name option is
  85  * designed to be used when column names are used in the SQL
  86  * query that generated the result set.
  87  * For columns that are NOT explicitly named in the query, it
  88  * is best to use column numbers. If column names are used, the
  89  * programmer should take care to guarantee that they uniquely refer to
  90  * the intended columns, which can be assured with the SQL <i>AS</i> clause.
  91  * <P>
  92  * A set of updater methods were added to this interface
  93  * in the JDBC 2.0 API (Java&trade; 2 SDK,
  94  * Standard Edition, version 1.2). The comments regarding parameters
  95  * to the getter methods also apply to parameters to the
  96  * updater methods.
  97  *<P>
  98  * The updater methods may be used in two ways:
  99  * <ol>
 100  * <LI>to update a column value in the current row.  In a scrollable
 101  *     <code>ResultSet</code> object, the cursor can be moved backwards
 102  *     and forwards, to an absolute position, or to a position
 103  *     relative to the current row.
 104  *     The following code fragment updates the <code>NAME</code> column
 105  *     in the fifth row of the <code>ResultSet</code> object
 106  *     <code>rs</code> and then uses the method <code>updateRow</code>
 107  *     to update the data source table from which <code>rs</code> was derived.
 108  * <PRE>
 109  *
 110  *       rs.absolute(5); // moves the cursor to the fifth row of rs
 111  *       rs.updateString("NAME", "AINSWORTH"); // updates the
 112  *          // <code>NAME</code> column of row 5 to be <code>AINSWORTH</code>
 113  *       rs.updateRow(); // updates the row in the data source
 114  *
 115  * </PRE>
 116  * <LI>to insert column values into the insert row.  An updatable
 117  *     <code>ResultSet</code> object has a special row associated with
 118  *     it that serves as a staging area for building a row to be inserted.
 119  *     The following code fragment moves the cursor to the insert row, builds
 120  *     a three-column row, and inserts it into <code>rs</code> and into
 121  *     the data source table using the method <code>insertRow</code>.
 122  * <PRE>
 123  *
 124  *       rs.moveToInsertRow(); // moves cursor to the insert row
 125  *       rs.updateString(1, "AINSWORTH"); // updates the
 126  *          // first column of the insert row to be <code>AINSWORTH</code>
 127  *       rs.updateInt(2,35); // updates the second column to be <code>35</code>
 128  *       rs.updateBoolean(3, true); // updates the third column to <code>true</code>
 129  *       rs.insertRow();
 130  *       rs.moveToCurrentRow();
 131  *
 132  * </PRE>
 133  * </ol>
 134  * <P>A <code>ResultSet</code> object is automatically closed when the
 135  * <code>Statement</code> object that
 136  * generated it is closed, re-executed, or used
 137  * to retrieve the next result from a sequence of multiple results.
 138  *

2331      * <P>The <code>refreshRow</code> method provides a way for an
2332      * application to
2333      * explicitly tell the JDBC driver to refetch a row(s) from the
2334      * database.  An application may want to call <code>refreshRow</code> when
2335      * caching or prefetching is being done by the JDBC driver to
2336      * fetch the latest value of a row from the database.  The JDBC driver
2337      * may actually refresh multiple rows at once if the fetch size is
2338      * greater than one.
2339      *
2340      * <P> All values are refetched subject to the transaction isolation
2341      * level and cursor sensitivity.  If <code>refreshRow</code> is called after
2342      * calling an updater method, but before calling
2343      * the method <code>updateRow</code>, then the
2344      * updates made to the row are lost.  Calling the method
2345      * <code>refreshRow</code> frequently will likely slow performance.
