Question

can someone please tell me difference between JDBC ResultSet Scroll Sensitive Type and Result Set Scroll Insensitive Type?

Where we use these usually in projects?

Answer 1

The type of a ResultSet object determines the level of its functionality in two areas: the ways in which the cursor can be manipulated, and how concurrent changes made to the underlying data source are reflected by the ResultSet object.

TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE:

The result can be scrolled; its cursor can move both forward and
backward relative to the current position, and it can move to an
absolute position. The result set is insensitive to changes made to
the underlying data source while it is open. It contains the rows that
satisfy the query at either the time the query is executed or as the
rows are retrieved.

TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE:

The result can be scrolled; its cursor can move both forward and
backward relative to the current position, and it can move to an
absolute position. The result set reflects changes made to the
underlying data source while the result set remains open.
