ResultSet

Introduction#

A ResultSet object maintains a cursor pointing to its current row of data. Initially the cursor is positioned before the first row. The next method moves the cursor to the next row, and because it returns false when there are no more rows in the ResultSet object, it can be used in a while loop to iterate through the result se

ResultSet

To create a ResultSet you should to create a Statement or PrepapredStatement :

Create ResultSet with Statement

try {
    Class.forName(driver);
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
            "jdbc:somedb://localhost/databasename", "username", "password");
    Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
    ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM my_table");

} catch (ClassNotFoundException | SQLException e) {
}

Create ResultSet with PrepapredStatement

try {
    Class.forName(driver);
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
            "jdbc:somedb://localhost/databasename", "username", "password");
    PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM my_table");
    ResultSet result = preparedStatement.executeQuery();

} catch (ClassNotFoundException | SQLException e) {
}

Check if your ResultSet have information or not

if (result.next()) {
   //yes result not empty                
}

Get information from ResultSet

There are several type of information you can get from your ResultSet like String, int, boolean, float, Blob, … to get information you had to use a loop or a simple if :

if (result.next()) {
    //get int from your result set
    result.getInt("id");
    //get string from your result set
    result.getString("username");
    //get boolean from your result set
    result.getBoolean("validation");
    //get double from your result set
    result.getDouble("price");
}
