Description:
I don't know if it's in the JDBC-spec but,I loose nothing to ask anyways. When a call to moveToInsertRow() is made, should the driver assign default values to every fields on the insert row ?

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE temp
(
id int not null primary key,
isValid ENUM('T','F') DEFAULT 'T'
);

ResultSet set (...)
set.moveToInsertRow()
set.getBoolean("isValid") always returns false.

Suggested fix:
I know DatabaseMetaData.getColumns returns default values (COLUMN_DEF), so maybe it is not a big deal to gather default values around this code ?

This is now fixed in the development tree for both 3.0.x and 3.1.x. You can check out a nightly snapshot after 00:00 GMT 21-June-03 from http://mmmysql.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ to test it, or wait for Connector/J 3.0.9 to be released, which should be sometime in the next few days.

Thanks for your bug report!
