Hi Jess,

thank you for answering.

Probably I was just struggling because the docs often talk of rows, tables, columns
which are elements of a database domain and not an object domain.

Ha, there it is again...rows... ;-)

Are these rows "Book"-Objects???
Or do I have to use these row-objects with Book-attributes to initialize/instanciate
a Book-Object. (an object with other methods besides methods usfull for persistence)
Or is this by convention the same?

What does that mean?
Does that imply that "rows" returned by ResultSets are NOT objects of a certain type?

Probably the first iteration for enhancing my understanding... ;-)
