I think I've found a bug in how the jdbc driver (JDBC2) numbers the rows in a result set. According to Sun's documentation for the ResultSet interface, the rows in a result set should be numbered starting with 1. However, the ResultSet.java's first() routine set's current_row to 0. The odd thing is that beforeFirst() also sets current_row to 0, it just does not load this_row. The bug manifests itself as such: given ResultSet rs containing two rows: rs.last(); System.out.println("Last id is: "+rs.getRow()); rs.first(); System.out.println("First id is: "+rs.getRow()); produces the output: Last id is: 1 First id is: 0 I think the easiest fix would be to change getRow() so that it returns current_row+1, and change beforeFirst so that it sets current_row to -1. I'm not sure what other changes need to be made, but since the JDBC driver does not allow one to refer directly to row numbers, I can't think of any other changes offhand. Or am I all wet and this is not a bug? Please respond to me directly, as I'm not a member of this list. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Travis Bauer | CS Grad Student | IU |www.cs.indiana.edu/~trbauer ----------------------------------------------------------------
