Hi,

when using the RETURNING clause in a DELETE statement the driver throws an error:

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: A result was returned when none was expected.

The code that I'm using is as follows:

Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("delete from person where firstname like 'A%' returning id");

Am I missing something or is the "RETURNING" feature not supported by the driver?

I'm using postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc3.jar with Java5

Regards
Thomas
