Bug #886: jdbc "update row" can mess up other columns

Andrew Fyfe (afyfe(at)bigtribe(dot)com) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
jdbc "update row" can mess up other columns

Long Description
The attached program when run gives me the following output

DatabaseProductName: PostgreSQL
DatabaseProductVersion: 7.3.1
DriverName: PostgreSQL Native Driver
DriverVersion: PostgreSQL 7.3.1 JDBC3 jdbc driver build 106
--- Forward ---
1: Colombian 7.99
2: French_Roast 9.99
--- Backward ---
2: French_Roast 9.99
1: Colombian 7.99
--- Update Row 2 ---
--- Forward ---
1: Colombian 7.99
2: Colombian 10.99

Note that the update of the price in row 2 caused jdbc to misrepesent the name. If one does not run through the rows backward (give the arg "b" when running the code), then the output is correct:

--- Forward ---
1: Colombian 7.99
2: French_Roast 9.99
--- Update Row 2 ---
--- Forward ---
1: Colombian 7.99
2: French_Roast 10.99

Suppressing the first forward pass through the data (giving "f" or "fb" to suppress both) will cause an exception to be thrown.

Note that another forward pass after the backward makes the problem go away.

}

if (rs.absolute(2)) {
System.out.println("--- Update Row 2 ---");
rs.updateFloat("PRICE", 10.99f);
rs.updateRow();
}

forward(rs);
} finally {
if (stmt != null) {
try {
stmt.close();
}
catch (SQLException sqlEx) {
System.out.println("closing statement failed");
}
}
