David,
I just did a quick testcase
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
Connection con =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost/test", "davec",
"");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement(
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE );
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( "select NAME, CONTEXT FROM
SIMPLETEST" );
rs.moveToInsertRow();
rs.updateString(1, "dave");
rs.updateString(2,"context");
rs.updateRow();
and this works?
So; I would like you to try the latest code, either from CVS, or I can
send you a jar off of my system.
The driver should deal with your problem
