The JDBC methods should, as much as the possibly can, be consistent with the behavior of methods in the JDK.I agree with your point here. I think all of us are saying that there is no inconsistency with zero length Strings in JDK. All of the methods we've looked at are consistent with allowing the APIs to handle zero length Strings as a simple boundary condition. The only thing that's a bit hard to grok is the fact that JDBC generally uses 1-origin indexing while JDK uses 0-origin. But everything in the API allows zero-length Strings.
This specific issue could easily be argued either way and I see it from a different point of view
I haven't seen anything in your examples (once corrected) that give you a different point of view. Can you please re-read the thread and tell us where there is a problem?
