Re: how to resolve org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ResultSet not positioned properly, perhaps you need to call next.

As I said last time, I'm not an "expert".

subjectNames is declared as an array.
In your "for" loop you will be doing ps2.setArray(2, array); multiple
times depending on the number of subjects contained in subjectNames.

I suspect the query is failing and as there is no try .. catch block to
trap the SQLException, this is not reported back to your code.

If you alter the postgresql.conf to log all SQL statements, restart,
run your test again, look in the log file, it will show the passed
parameter values. You can then verify that that the array passed as the
second parameter is correct.
