    Constructors in javax.sql with parameters of type RowSet
    Constructor and Description
    `RowSetEvent(RowSet source)` Constructs a `RowSetEvent` object initialized with the given `RowSet` object.

  - ### Uses of RowSet in javax.sql.rowset

    Subinterfaces of RowSet in javax.sql.rowset
    Modifier and Type | Interface and Description
    --- | ---
    `interface` | `CachedRowSet` The interface that all standard implementations of `CachedRowSet` must implement.
    `interface` | `FilteredRowSet` The standard interface that all standard implementations of `FilteredRowSet` must implement.
    `interface` | `JdbcRowSet` The standard interface that all standard implementations of `JdbcRowSet` must implement.
    `interface` | `JoinRowSet` The `JoinRowSet` interface provides a mechanism for combining related data from different `RowSet` objects into one `JoinRowSet` object, which represents an SQL `JOIN`.
    `interface` | `WebRowSet` The standard interface that all implementations of a `WebRowSet` must implement.

    Methods in javax.sql.rowset that return RowSet
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `RowSet` | CachedRowSet.`createShared()` Returns a new `RowSet` object backed by the same data as that of this `CachedRowSet` object.

    Methods in javax.sql.rowset with parameters of type RowSet
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | JoinRowSet.`addRowSet(RowSet[] rowset, int[] columnIdx)` Adds one or more `RowSet` objects contained in the given array of `RowSet` objects to this `JoinRowSet` object and sets the match column for each of the `RowSet` objects to the match columns in the given array of column indexes.
    `void` | JoinRowSet.`addRowSet(RowSet[] rowset, String[] columnName)` Adds one or more `RowSet` objects contained in the given array of `RowSet` objects to this `JoinRowSet` object and sets the match column for each of the `RowSet` objects to the match columns in the given array of column names.
    `void` | JoinRowSet.`addRowSet(RowSet rowset, int columnIdx)` Adds the given `RowSet` object to this `JoinRowSet` object and sets the designated column as the match column for the `RowSet` object.
    `void` | JoinRowSet.`addRowSet(RowSet rowset, String columnName)` Adds rowset to this `JoinRowSet` object and sets the designated column as the match column.
    `boolean` | Predicate.`evaluate(RowSet rs)` This method is typically called a `FilteredRowSet` object internal methods (not public) that control the `RowSet` object's cursor moving from row to the next.

  - ### Uses of RowSet in javax.sql.rowset.spi

    Subinterfaces of RowSet in javax.sql.rowset.spi
    Modifier and Type | Interface and Description
    --- | ---
    `interface` | `SyncResolver` Defines a framework that allows applications to use a manual decision tree to decide what should be done when a synchronization conflict occurs.
