You must be on a row (or the insert row) to update it, you have not shown
any positioning methods (like next()) being called on the ResultSet so it
is left positioned before the first row. I don't know what the 7.3 driver
was actually doing, but this error is the expected behavior of the driver,
unless of course you are doing something else you haven't shown us.
