Ignore this. I realized after taking a break that it doesn't work with primitive types. I think the thing I find most frustrating with Java is that it doesn't treat primitive types in a consistent manner with classes derived from Object.

The documentation suggests doing a count to determine what situation you are in, then issuing the appropriate select once you know. But that will result in an extra trip to the DB. In a common scenario where you are querying a primary key, you know that you will get zero or one row back. So rather than having to put the single row select into a try-catch block, a more natural paradigm would be to assign the result and then check the result for null.
