/**
 * An interface for an object which represents a database table entry, returned
 * as the result of the query to the database.
 * <p>
 * {@code ResultSet}s have a cursor which points to the current data table row.
 * When the {@code ResultSet} is created, the cursor's location is one position
 * ahead of the first row. To move the cursor to the first and consecutive rows,
 * use the {@code next} method. The {@code next} method returns {@code true} as
 * long as there are more rows in the {@code ResultSet}, otherwise it returns
 * {@code false}.
 * <p>
 * The default type of {@code ResultSet} can not be updated and its cursor can
 * only advance forward through the rows of data. This means that it is only
 * possible to read through it once. However, other kinds of {@code ResultSet}
 * are implemented: an <i>updatable</i> type and also types where the cursor can
 * be <i>scrolled</i> forward and backward through the rows of data. How such a
 * {@code ResultSet} is created is demonstrated in the following example:
 * <ul>
 * <dd>
 *         {@code Connection con;}</dd>
 * <dd>{@code Statement aStatement = con.createStatement(
 * ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,}{@code ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE );}</dd>
 * <dd>{@code ResultSet theResultSet =
 * theStatement.executeQuery("SELECT price, quantity FROM STOCKTABLE");}</dd>
 * <dd>{@code // theResultSet is both scrollable and updatable}</dd> </ul>
 * <p>
 * The {@code ResultSet} interface provides a series of methods for retrieving
 * data from columns in the current row, such as {@code getDate} and {@code
 * getFloat}. The columns are retrieved either by their index number (starting
 * at 1) or by their name - there are separate methods for both techniques of
 * column addressing. The column names are case insensitive. If several columns
 * have the same name, then the getter methods use the first matching column.
 * This means that if column names are used, it is not possible to guarantee
 * that the name will retrieve data from the intended column - for certainty it
 * is better to use column indexes. Ideally the columns should be read
 * left-to-right and read once only, since not all databases are optimized to
 * handle other techniques of reading the data.
 * <p>
 * When reading data via the appropriate getter methods, the JDBC driver maps
 * the SQL data retrieved from the database to the Java type implied by the
 * method invoked by the application. The JDBC specification has a table for the
 * mappings from SQL types to Java types.
 * <p>
 * There are also methods for writing data into the {@code ResultSet}, such as
 * {@code updateInt} and {@code updateString}. The update methods can be used
 * either to modify the data of an existing row or to insert new data rows into
 * the {@code ResultSet} . Modification of existing data involves moving the
 * cursor to the row which needs modification and then using the update methods
 * to modify the data, followed by calling the {@code ResultSet.updateRow}
 * method. For insertion of new rows, the cursor is first moved to a special row
 * called the <i>Insert Row</i>, data is added using the update methods,
 * followed by calling the {@code ResultSet.insertRow} method.
 * <p>
 * A {@code ResultSet} is closed if the statement which generated it closes, the
 * statement is executed again, or the same statement's next {@code ResultSet}
 * is retrieved (if the statement returned of multiple results).
