Hmm, my understand was a bit different.
The Javadocs simply say
There are no more results when the following is true:
((stmt.getMoreResults() == false) && (stmt.getUpdateCount() == -1))
It doesn't state that they are mutually exclusive. And for me it seemed to imply that I can call getMoreResults() and
getUpdateCount()in a loop in order to process everything that is returned.
Additionally the Javadocs for getUpdateCount() says:
"Gets the *current* result as an update count" and ".. if there are no more results it returns -1"
The word "current" here also let me to believe I can call those methods multiple times.
