Re: Question about ResultSetMetaData

In the application i am developing we query the ResultSetMetaData for

If this is all from one table, perhaps you would be better off using a DatabaseMetaData.getColumns instead? That should only issue one query.

On the todolist I found the following under the idea's section:

ResultSetMetaData calls that run queries are cached on a per column
basis, but it seems likely that they're going to be called for all
columns, so try to issue one query per ResultSet, not per column.

Does anyone know if this will make it into a release someday? As it
would really help us performance wise.


At this point it is just an idea.  No one that I know of is working on it.
