service ResultSet
Description provides access to a table of data. A ResultSet object is usually generated by executing a Statement. A ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing to its current row of data. Initially the cursor is positioned before the first row. The 'next' method moves the cursor to the next row. The getXXX methods retrieve column values for the current row. You can retrieve values using either the index number of the column. Columns are numbered from 1. For maximum portability, ResultSet columns within each row should be read in left-to-right order and each column should be read only once. For the getXXX methods, the SDBC driver attempts to convert the underlying data to the specified type and returns a suitable value. Column names used as input to the findColumn method are case insensitive. When several columns have the same name, then the value of the first matching column will be returned. The column name option is designed to be used when column names are used in the SQL query. For columns that are NOT explicitly named in the query, it is best to use column numbers. If column names are used, there is no way for the programmer to guarantee that they actually refer to the intended columns. A ResultSet is automatically closed (disposed) by the Statement that generated it when that Statement is closed, re-executed, or used to retrieve the next result from a sequence of multiple results. The number, types, and properties of a ResultSet's columns are provided by the ResultSetMetaData object returned by the getMetaData method.

Exported Interfaces
::com::sun::star::lang::XComponent | [ OPTIONAL ] Description optional for implementation; controls the releasing of resources and the notification of registered listeners.
XCloseable | [ OPTIONAL ] Description freeing all resources of a result set. The creating statement will still be open after disposing. This interface is mandatory only for JDBC conformance, otherwise it is optional.
::com::sun::star::beans::XPropertySet | provides information about and access to the properties from an implementation.
XWarningsSupplier | [ OPTIONAL ] Description controls the chaining of warnings, which may occur on every call to the connected database. Chained warnings from previous calls will be cleared before processing a new call. This interface is mandatory only for JDBC conformance, otherwise it is optional.
XResultSetMetaDataSupplier | Description provides the access to the result set description.
XResultSet | Description is the interface for navigating on the rows on a result set.
XResultSetUpdate | [ OPTIONAL ] Description is the interface for updating row data to the database. The implementation is optional.
XRow | Description is the interface for accessing the data of the current row.
XColumnLocate | Description is used for locating a column by it's name.
XRowUpdate | [ OPTIONAL ] Description is the interface for updating the data of the current row. The implementation is optional.

Properties' Summary
CursorName | [ OPTIONAL ] defines the SQL cursor name that will be used by subsequent Statement `execute` methods.
ResultSetConcurrency | retrieves the result set concurrency.
ResultSetType | determines the result set type.
FetchDirection | retrieves the direction for fetching rows from database tables that is the default for result sets generated from this ::com::sun::star::sdbcx::Statement object. If this`Statement` object has not set a fetch direction, the return value is implementation-specific.
FetchSize | retrieves the number of result set rows that is the default fetch size for result sets generated from this ::com::sun::star::sdbcx::Statement object. If this ::com::sun::star::sdbcx::Statement object has not set a fetch size, the return value is implementation-specific.

Properties' Details
CursorName
[ readonly ] string CursorName; [ OPTIONAL ] Description defines the SQL cursor name that will be used by subsequent Statement `execute` methods. This name can then be used in SQL positioned update/delete statements to identify the current row in the ResultSet generated by this statement. If the database doesn't support positioned update/delete, this property is a noop. To insure that a cursor has the proper isolation level to support updates, the cursor's SELECT statement should be of the form 'select for update ...'. If the 'for update' phrase is omitted, positioned updates may fail. Note: By definition, positioned update/delete execution must be done by a different Statement than the one which generated the ResultSet being used for positioning. Also, cursor names must be unique within a connection.
ResultSetConcurrency
[ readonly ] long ResultSetConcurrency; Description retrieves the result set concurrency. See also ResultSetConcurrency
ResultSetType
[ readonly ] long ResultSetType; Description determines the result set type. See also ResultSetType
FetchDirection
long FetchDirection; Description retrieves the direction for fetching rows from database tables that is the default for result sets generated from this ::com::sun::star::sdbcx::Statement object. If this`Statement` object has not set a fetch direction, the return value is implementation-specific.
FetchSize
long FetchSize; Description retrieves the number of result set rows that is the default fetch size for result sets generated from this ::com::sun::star::sdbcx::Statement object. If this ::com::sun::star::sdbcx::Statement object has not set a fetch size, the return value is implementation-specific.
