<DL>
<DT><PRE>public interface <B>QueryResponse</B></DL>
</PRE>
<P>
Represents a result of query execution. It potentially contain a mix of update counts
and lists of selected values. Provides API somewhat similar to java.util.Iterator or
java.sql.ResultSet for scanning through the individual results.
<p>
An example of iterating through a response:
</p>
<pre>
QueryResponse response = context.performGenericQuery(query);
for (response.reset(); response.next();) {
if (response.isList()) {
List list = response.currentList();
// ...
}
else {
int[] updateCounts = reponse.currentUpdateCount();
// ...
}
}
</pre>
<p>
In case the structure of the result is known, and only a single list or an update count
is expected, there is a simpler API to access them:
</p>
<pre>
QueryResponse response = context.performGenericQuery(query);
List list = response.firstList();
int[] count = response.firstUpdateCount();
</pre>
