I haven't tried it, but using Statement.execute() (instead of executeUpdate()) should do it.
Then you need to call getMoreResults(), getResults(), getUpdateCount() to get everything.
Pay attention to the javadocs of Statement.getUpdateCount() and Statement.getMoreResults() describing the condition how
todetect if there are no more results/update counts to retrieve.
It's essentially the same as retrieving the data returned by an INSERT ... RETURNING.
