Re: throw SQLException on no rs.next()?

Yes, it sure does. The way I usually handle stepping through a ResultSet is
with a structure like this:

/* create REsultSet results */
while (results.next())
{
/*do something with results*/
}

You're right about this being a common newbie gotcha. I'll add it to the
newbie FAQ.
