Re: updatable (J2EE) resultsets

Kris,

I agree the driver should be like the server in this regard. That means
that some bugfixes will get put into the 7.3 branch. But just like the
server where only a small set of critical but non destabilizing fixes
get back patched the same should apply to the jdbc driver.
