Strange. I was talking to the guy from Sun who lead the original JDBC spec
via email the other day and he mentioned how using interfaces in JDBC was a
bad decision because of forward compatibility problems. Now I know what he
means :-).
However, what can they do? Presumably JDBC needs to change over time, and
this means that those who attempt to implement the interfaces must update
their stuff to be compatibile. Leaving JDBC set in stone for ever doesn't
seem like a viable option. Or would you rather we do the MS thing and have
CallableStatement2?
