God d*mn JDBC, getGeneratedKeys does not work.

Question

I am so mad with the limitation of JDBC 3.0. It's version 3, and years of development, what the h*ll.
To retrieve the auto generated keys, you have to execute an sql statement. So, if the data needs to be escaped properly, I would use PreparedStatement. Unfortunately, PreparedStatement also only allow you to return generated keys if executeUpdate on sql statement:
pstmt.executeUpdate(sqlString, ,PreparedStatement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
So, that means preparedStatement is no different than statement in this case. So, it's almost unusable.
Next, there is no support for retriving autogenerated keys if you do thing like using recordset.insertRow().

Next, there is no support for retriving autogenerated
keys if you do thing like using recordset.insertRow().3 tier applications can't use updatable result sets. Only smaller applications can use this.
The JDBC at least allows for user comment and I think it is part of the JCP process so you can join as a member and offer you input for the next version.
