JDBC 2.0 call in Oracle 8i problem?

Question

When I use getString() for a VARCHAR2 field to fetch, I am getting junk characters. However this works fine with a column defined as NUMBER. Also it works fine when I use the default conn.createStatement() //without parameters!
Any one came across this before? Any help?
Here is the code snippet...
Connection conn = <db connection>
OracleStatement stmt = (OracleStatement)conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
String SQL="select name from customer";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
while(rs.next())
String s = getString(1);
rs.close();
null

Answer 1

well, in order to have these 2.0 features, the connection to the database
has to stay open.
This is not an efficient way of handling your pooled resources since they
become occupied for longer times.
Instead read in the data to your EJB, and then return the connection to the
pool.

I've configured a DataSource object wrapping a Connection Pool using theurl=jdbc:weblogic:oracle
and driver=weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver. I've successfully deployed a coupleof EJBs
that utilize this DataSource for data retrieval. However, both of themethods
below throw SQLException similar to those at the end of this post.
sqlStmt = theConnection.prepareStatement(sqlCommand,ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
rs.absolute(startrow);

Any recommendations would be appreciated.
