Treating an SQL ResultSet like a Scala Stream

Question

When I query a database and receive a (forward-only, read-only) ResultSet back, the ResultSet acts like a list of database rows.

I am trying to find some way to trea

Answer 1

Utility function for @elbowich's answer:

def results[T](resultSet: ResultSet)(f: ResultSet => T) = {
  new Iterator[T] {
    def hasNext = resultSet.next()
    def next() = f(resultSet)
  }
}

Allows you to use type inference. E.g.:

stmt.execute("SELECT mystr, myint FROM mytable")

// Example 1:
val it = results(stmt.resultSet) {
  case rs => rs.getString(1) -> 100 * rs.getInt(2)
}
val m = it.toMap // Map[String, Int]

// Example 2:
val it = results(stmt.resultSet)(_.getString(1))
