Re: [Solved] A result was returned by the statement, when none was expected.

I finally figured this out. For anyone that might want to know, what I
nneded was this:
if (statement.execute(sqlStatementString)) {
//ResultSet Available
ResultSet rs = statement.getResultSet();
rs.next();
result = rs.getInt(1);
}else{
//Update count or no result available
result = statement.getUpdateCount();
}

For my functions, a ResultSet is returned, which does NOT make sence as
the functions were declared to return type integer. Oh well.
