The ResultSet Variants
Accessing databases is often a matter of critical speed. OpenOffice.org provides several
ways of optimizing ResultSets and thereby controlling the speed of access. The more
functions a ResultSet provides, the more complex its implementation usually is and
therefore the slower the functions are.
A simple ResultSet, provides the minimum scope of functions available. It only allows
iteration to be applied forward, and for values to be interrogated. More extensive
navigation options, such as the possibility of modifying values, are therefore not included.
The Statement object used to create the ResultSet provides some properties which allow
the functions of the ResultSet to be influenced:
ResultSetConcurrency (const)
specifications as to whether the data can be modified (specifications in accordance
with
com.sun.star.sdbc.ResultSetConcurrency
).
ResultSetType (const)
specifications regarding type of ResultSets ( specifications in accordance with
com.sun.star.sdbc.ResultSetType
).
