[orm-devel] SelectByPrimaryKey problem

[Werner F. Bruhin]

Hi Diedrich,

Unlike me I checked the documentation for kinterbasdb before anything 
else, and it clearly states that rowcount is NOT supported due to 
Interbase and Firebird limition (see below).  Checked the Firebird 1.5 
beta change notes and it does not look like anything changed to this affect.

*Unsupported Features*

    * |Cursor| class
          o |nextset| method

            This method is not implemented because the database engine
            does not support opening multiple result sets simultaneously
            with a single cursor.


          o |rowcount| attribute

            The value of this attribute is initially |-1|, and it never
            changes, because the Interbase/Firebird C API does not
            support the determination of the number of rows affected by
            an executed statement.

See you
Werner
