This has been clarified in the JDBC 4.0 spec.
Again and i cannot say this often enough the tutorial and reference is
not to be deemed the end-all when it comes to JDBC. The spec consists
of the JDBC API javadocs and the PDF spec.
I am trying to correct as many issues that i can for JDBC 4.0. There
are things in the tutorial that are wrong and there are some that are
more correct. I am addressing them as i find them.

lance

I just came accross that in the book "JDBC API Tutorial and Reference,
Third Edition". In the last paragraph of section "27.1.19 Queries That
Produce Updatable Result Sets" (p.715) it stands:
"Result sets created by means other than the execution of a query,
such as those returned by several methods in the DatabaseMetaData
interface, are not scrollable or updatable, nor are they required to be."

I known I've seen a statement somewhere that listed the ResultSet
attributes for ResultSets returned from DatabaseMetaData methods.
It stated that such ResultSets were forward only etc.
Now I can't find that statement in JDBC 4.0/3.0 spec or the javadoc.Does
anyone remember where this statement is?
Thanks,
Dan.
