Re: A JDBC bug or problem relating to string length in Java

That's a good idea, but unfortunately
Connection.close() throws SQLException, so I would
have to do something like this:

try { }
catch { }
finally {
try { db.close(); }
catch(SQLException e) { log(...); }
}

This works... but isn't Java/JDBC supposed to make our
lives easier, and focus on the problem we're solving
instead of putting in extra hard-to-read boilerplate
code (a try/catch nested inside a finally block)?

I think I'm going to convert everything to JDO so the
JDO implementor can handle ALL of this stuff.
