hi
I think that such errors arise when the driver is not able to handle correctly some JDBC calls...
I used to encounter this error when accessing some special column types in my requests such TEXT (or MEMO = a large text), and so on...
I noticed that we can overcome this using different kinds of statements : by exemple with my driver I can't use a PreparedStatement for a SELECT query, so I use a Statement.
But for a UPDATE/DELETE query i don't use a Statement object but a PreparedStatement...
As i use a JDBC 1.0 driver, I have always succeded to overcome all the errors of the driver by using different objects or method calls... manu0
