Thread: ResultSet is FORWARD_ONLY.

Hi everyone,
    Recently we have upgraded postgres driver jdbc4 for 8.3. After that while executing rst.first(), it raise the exception.
The statment was created correctly as
dbconnection..createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Operation requires a scrollable ResultSet, but this ResultSet is FORWARD_ONLY.
        at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.checkScrollable(AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.java:207)
        at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.first(AbstractJdbc2ResultSet.java:292)
        at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.DelegatingResultSet.first(DelegatingResultSet.java:326)

I guess there are two important questions:

1) do you want a forward only result set?

2) if yes, then cant you just remove .first()?

Its ok not to use first, right:

q.open();
while (! q.eof())
{
    do something;
    q.next();
}
