Troubleshooting

When using a Prepared Statement, the ResultsAvailable() method always returns true. Although this method is available, you should not use it with a while loop since it creates an infinate loop at runtime, exhausting all CPU activity.You can process a resultset by looping through the next() method.

If the Prepared Statement is wrong, then the ResultSet Columns count is zero.
