1. absolute(int rownumber) method not implemented as per Sun guidlines

   PostgreSQL Bugs List <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> — 2001-03-08T18:22:00Z

   Rahul Tyagi (rahul@envivio.com) reports a bug with a severity of 2
   The lower the number the more severe it is.
   
   Short Description
   absolute(int rownumber) method not implemented as per Sun guidlines
   
   Long Description
   absolute(int rownumber) method of ResultSet interface (in postgresql.jar) is not defined as per the Sun JDK1.3 definition.
   
   As per postgresql.jar rownumber are zero indexed means if i will call rs.absolute(0) then it will move cursor to row 1.
   As per Sun JDK specs ,if i will call rs.absolute(1) then it should move cursor to row 1.
   
   If somebody is writting application for multiple RDBMS ,then this kind of variation from specification may lead to more coding time & frustation.

   Nope, it throws an SQLException with the text "Cannot move to index of 0".

   It currently moves to row 1 (internal row 0).
   
   What version of the driver are you using?
