Re: [Solved] A result was returned by the statement, when none - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Your problem is that you are calling executeUpdate while passing in a
select statement.  Even though the select statement only returns 1 row of
1 column, it is still a ResultSet while the driver does not expect one to
be returned because you claimed to be doing an update.
