Richard,

I understand that I can't have the File indicators. All I'm asking for is
Cursor indicators (vbg)...

More seriously I'm quite prepared to accept that I may be going  about
things the wrong way - that's why I asked.

I finally worked out why there was no getRowCount() to go with
getColumnCount() (I would have walked right into that performance trap...).
I just get get my head round there not being a isEmpty(), or similar.

May I go and hide in RLA for a while, until I'm ready to play with "proper"
objects. (vbg).

Chris.

Well, I'll probably not be appreciated for this, but I would ask the
question, "why do you need to/want to know that a ResultSet is empty before
you try to use it?"

When you want to do something that seems relatively simple like this with a
long existing technology and there is no obvious solution, it often
suggests that you
are designing something at least somewhat out of the norm from the way
applications are typically designed.

BTW:  You can't have your file indicators back because there is no file.
There is only a relation as a result of your executing a query.  If you
want to interact
with file indicators, you can;  they didn't go anywhere.  We keep them nice
and isolated in stored procedures.  Use them until your heart's content.  ;

Thanks for the answer Dan.

The "problem" I have with using next() to determine if a record set is
empty
, is that it moves the file pointer (oops - betraying my RPG origins now) I
mean cursor, so the result set is changed. I know I can move it back again,
but this seems a bit sloppy to me, hence my post.

The problem may well of course be mine, I'm that I'm still thinking like an
RPG programmer and want to know why I can't have my file indicators
back....(VBG)

Chris
