* If a disconnected RowSet
object modifies some of its data,
* and it has a writer associated with it, it may be implemented so that it
* calls on the writer's writeData
method internally
* to write the updates back to the data source. In order to do this, the writer
* must first establish a connection with the rowset's data source.
*
* If the data to be updated has already been changed in the data source, there
* is a conflict, in which case the writer will not write
* the changes to the data source. The algorithm the writer uses for preventing
* or limiting conflicts depends entirely on its implementation.
