Ok, thanks.  If these should be in jdbc3 then we have a bug.

Looking at the 1.4 comparison page, it looks like we're really close
to having java.sql be "perfect":

Maybe you're seeing problems because you're using an older gcj.
Yet another reason that using 3.3 is better.

Yeah.  Though it seems to me that this can only happen if Sun makes
incompatible changes, so it isn't entirely our fault.
