Just for the record:
Apparently there is no consensus on this behaviour (even though it's clearly required according to the JDBC specs)
MySQL, the jTDS driver for SQL Server and Firebird also throw an exeption in that case.
The Microsoft driver, DB2, Derby, h2 and HSQLDB do not throw an exception just like the Oracle driver.
