Until about 30 minutes ago getFetchSize() threw an SQLException as it wasn't
implemented ;-)
For normal ResultSet's in 7.1 getFetchSize() will return the number of rows,
but I'd advise you use Michael's suggestion as it's probably the safest bet for
TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE & TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE ResultSets (remember
technically TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY ResultSet's should not allow you to go back after
the .last() call).
