The solution is very simple. Just keep the version associated with the
current resultset around until the resultset is closed. This is basically
the same as having another connection, but in this case, each resultset on
the connection should use the version that was associated with the
connection when the resultset was opened.

The JDBC spec also makes no guarantees that the database shouldn't crash.
The purpose of a spec isn't to limit what is provided to users, rather it is
to provide the minimum functionality that users can assume across
implementations.
