Re: InstantDB: PoolMan and IDB


I'll let you make the judgement as to whether or not this is a poolman
bug or an idb bug, but here's the scoop.  When poolman opens a result
set, it first gets the result set from the original statement (the idb
one).  Then, it keeps a copy of the meta data, but copies all the rows
of the resultset into it's own data structure.  It then closes the
resultset.  The problem here is that when idb gets a resultset, it's
using a temporary table to hold the results, so when it closes it
actually drops this temporary table.  This clears out all the column
info.  The idb metadata class uses the temporary table to get all the
column info, so when you make this call, a NullPointerException occurs.

I'll look at the latest poolman code to see if this problem is fixed. 
We could detach idbResultSetMetaData from the underlying temporary
table, but to me, if the rs is closed, then there's no reason the
metadata should be valid.  However, it looks like other drivers aren't
invalidating their metadata on resultset closure, so this may be
something we want to fix.

Thoughts?
