Re: "No Results were returned by the query" exception - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Dave,

Thanks for the guess, but no the insert is not failing.  If I comment out the call to the sequence then everything
worksfine. 

I only think the insert has something to do with it because I don't get the exception every time a poll the sequence.
I get the exception only in this one place.  And it is the only place I can think of where an insert happens before
a sequence select.  The insert may be irrelevant to the issue, but it is the only thing I can see different from where
things work and don't work.

What I am actually doing is trying to advance the sequence beyond a certain value.  The code actually calls a select
from currval() first and then on exception calls nextval() to see what the sequence is currently at.  The currval()
callis 
failing too.  I had to implement things this way because PostGre will throw an error if the sequence has been newly
created and you try to call currval() on it.  I need to currval() (or nextval()) to make sure that the user is not
tryingto 
set the sequence to a previous value.

I used to have this issue with the non-dev driver all the time.  Especially when I would be making a lot of successive
calls.  Upgrading to the dev driver did away with all the errors until now.
