/**
 * A ResultSet provides access to a table of data generated by executing a
 * Statement.  The table rows are retrieved in sequence.  Within a row its
 * column values can be accessed in any order.
 *
 * <P>A ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing to its current row of data.  
 * Initially the cursor is positioned before the first row.  The 'next'
 * method moves the cursor to the next row.
 *
 * <P>The getXXX methods retrieve column values for the current row.  You can
 * retrieve values either using the index number of the column, or by using
 * the name of the column.  In general using the column index will be more
 * efficient.  Columns are numbered from 1.
 *
 * <P>For maximum portability, ResultSet columns within each row should be read
 * in left-to-right order and each column should be read only once.
 *
 *<P> For the getXXX methods, the JDBC driver attempts to convert the
 * underlying data to the specified Java type and returns a suitable Java
 * value.  See the JDBC specification for allowable mappings from SQL types
 * to Java types with the ResultSet getXXX methods.
 *
 * <P>Column names used as input to getXXX methods are case insenstive.  When
 * performing a getXXX using a column name, if several columns have the same
 * name, then the value of the first matching column will be returned.  The
 * column name option is designed to be used when column names are used in the
 * SQL Query.  For columns that are NOT explicitly named in the query, it is
 * best to use column numbers.  If column names were used there is no way for
 * the programmer to guarentee that they actually refer to the intended
 * columns.
 *
 * <P>A ResultSet is automatically closed by the Statement that generated it 
 * when that Statement is closed, re-executed, or is used to retrieve the 
 * next result from a sequence of multiple results.
 *
 * <P>The number, types and properties of a ResultSet's columns are provided by
 * the ResultSetMetaData object returned by the getMetaData method.
