Retrieves a boolean indicating whether rows marked for deletion appear in the set of current rows. If true is returned, deleted rows are visible with the current rows. If false is returned, rows are not visible with the set of current rows. The default value is false.

Standard rowset implementations may choose to restrict this behavior due to security considerations or to better fit certain deployment scenarios. This is left as implementation defined and does not represent standard behavior.

Note: Allowing deleted rows to remain visible complicates the behavior of some standard JDBC RowSet Implementations methods. However, most rowset users can simply ignore this extra detail because only very specialized applications will likely want to take advantage of this feature.

Returns: true if deleted rows are visible; false otherwise

Exceptions:

SQLException if a rowset implementation is unable to to determine whether rows marked for deletion are visible
