ResultSet persistence

I need some way to maintain data from a ResultSet after closing the connection. In other words, I want something that can get the data from the database, close the connection, then return the results. If it helps, I'm using an Oracle 8 database. Any suggestions?

//psuedocode
private ResultSet mymethod(String sql)
{
Connection conn = getConnection();
Statement stmt = conn.getStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.execute(sql);
conn.close();
return rs;
}

See the RsultSet object must be associated with a valid statement and of course connection object.. by closing connection mean you closed the resultset object..

Just Change Ur Function A little and using ResultSetMetaData before closing your connection put all the data in an sutiable Collection or Map object and return that ArrayList or whatever Collection object you choose .. this way ya would be having Results of Query but ofcourse.. not in the form of ResultSet but another COllection object

EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks!

For archival purposes:

CachedRowSet crs = new CachedRowSet();

Listing 1: Explicit CachedRowSet initialization

<jsp:useBean id="Contacts"
class="sun.jdbc.rowset.CachedRowSet"
scope="session">
<%
// load database driver
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
// initialize our CachedRowSet bean
Contacts.setUsername("dbuser"); // example userid
Contacts.setPassword("dbpassword"); // example password
Contacts.setUrl("jdbc:odbc:ContactDB"); // example DSN
Contacts.setCommand("SELECT name, telephone from Contacts");
Contacts.execute();
%>
</jsp:useBean>

OR

<%
// initialize our CachedRowSet bean using dataSourceName
// property
Contacts.setDataSourceName("Databases/ContactsDB/Datasource");
Contacts.setCommand("SELECT name, telephone from Contacts");
Contacts.execute();
%>

OR

<%
// get connection from pool
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
javax.sql.DataSource ds =
(javax.sql.DataSource)ctx.lookup
("Databases/ContactsDB/DataSource");
java.sql.Connection con = ds.getConnection();
Contacts.setCommand("SELECT name, telephone from Contacts");
// supply the connection to the RowSet
Contacts.execute(con);
%>
