Resultset and Rowset

A ResultSet maintains a connection to a database and because

of that it can’t be serialized and also we cant pass the

Resultset object from one class to other class across the

network.

RowSet is a disconnected, serializable version of a JDBC

ResultSet and also the RowSet extends the ResultSet

interface so it has all the methods of ResultSet. The RowSet

can be serialized because it doesn’t have a connection to

any database and also it can be sent from one class to

another across the network. 

A RowSet object contains a set of rows from a result set or some other source of tabular data, like a file or spreadsheet. A ResultSet object represents the output table of data resulted from a SELECT query statement.The data in a ResultSet object is organized in rows and columns
