I have just tested this on the latest code using the following
Connection con = JDBC2Tests.openDB();
try
{
// transaction mode
con.setAutoCommit(false);
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.execute("select 1/0");
fail( "Should not execute this, as a SQLException s/b thrown"
);
con.commit();
}
catch ( Exception ex )
{
}
try
{
con.commit();
con.close();
}catch ( Exception ex) {}
}
and it executes as expected. It throws the SQLException and does not
execute the fail statement
Thanks,
Dave

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
