I am far from a JBDB expert but I read the docs as:

TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE - I can scroll forward and backward & I will not
see changes done by others
TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE - I can scroll forward and backward & I will see
changes done by others
CONCUR_READ_ONLY - I can not update the result set
CONCUR_UPDATABLE - I can update the result set

So the difference is between me and other.

What do you mean by update the ResultSet ? we take the results out of
the ResultSet. we do rs.getString("columnName") to extract the
result. We don't update ResultSet really.

I don't understand why you are saying updating ResultSet.

do we do that ever ?

Why don't you read the javadoc?
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSet.html

"A set of updater methods were added to this interface in the JDBC 2.0
API (JavaTM 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.2). The comments
regarding parameters to the getter methods also apply to parameters to
the updater methods.

The updater methods may be used in two ways: [...]"

Unless you want to make updates to the values in the ResultSet, especially
ones that flow through back to the tables.

Sure we do.

It is a very good habit to read the Javadocs. Personally I find reading
Javadocs even for classes/methods with which I'm familiar often reveals new
and useful information.

P.S., attribute your quotes.
