Hi, I am a relatively new user of mySQL. I have written a program that uses JDBC to access a mySQL database. I seem to find no other ResultSet metadata statements other than ResultSet.getMetadata().getColumnName(1), ResultSet.getString(1) etc and stuff. I can use ResultSet.getRow() though its not in the mySQL JDBC API. Ok, what I want is to know how many rows I have deleted, inserted, updated, selected and whether the operation was successful or not. This can easily be seen in the mySQL environment ( e.g. c:\mySQL\bin>DELETE * from item;) and the message is clear (e.g Query OK, 0 Rows affected..). How can I get thses messages using the resultSet in a Java program. I appreciate your help in advance!
