How do I create an updatable ResultSet?

Just as is required with a scrollable ResultSet, the Statement must be capable of returning an updatable ResultSet. This is accomplished by asking the Connection to return the appropriate type of Statement using Connection.createStatement(int resultSetType, int resultSetConcurrency). The resultSetConcurrency parameter must be ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE. The actual code would look like this:

Statement stmt = con.createStatement( ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE );

Note that the spec allows a driver to return a different type of Statement/ResultSet than that requested, depending on capabilities and circumstances, so the actual type returned should be checked with ResultSet.getConcurrency().
