Hi,
I have a doubt. Suppose there is a column which consists of Int data (let us take as 7). Now i want this number from table directly in the program. I have tried doing with ResultSet and PreparedStatement but i failed. I should be able to assign it to a variable," example it should look like num = 7". Now How Can I Achieve This. Please Help!
Thanks & Regards.

I actually tried to count the number of rows in a tablet to get the value.
like this

if(ae.getActionCommand()=="Add")
{
try
{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver") ;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:addissue","library", "adeeb");
stmt
=conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM addissue");
rs.last();
int num = rs.getRow();
System.out.println("Number of Rows = "+num);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error " + e);
}


Now i wanted to get the number of rows of particular value in a column using the same Syntax but only changed query like this

"rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM addissue WHERE rollno = 1201");"


now i get the answer i.e num = 1, because this query returns only one row. I know that, but the actual count of rows is different

Now are you clear.
Thanks for Replying My Question.

If you run your query:

in a SQL client, how many rows are returned?

(NB: why are you using the JDBC-ODBC bridge? Is it Access you are using?)

If you can check the javadocs, the rs.getRow() method returns the current row number.Say when you execute your query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM addissue WHERE rollno = 1201" the OUTPUT will be 7.So there is only one row in the output so you are getting the result as one.I am not pretty sure but have you tried with rs.getInt(1).I think it should work.

One of the biggest issues is it doesn't support concurrent connections. On a normal RDBMS this would be introducing a significant bottleneck.

Aside from this, from Sun's own documentation:


The JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver is recommended only for experimental use or when no other alternative is available.


As far as I am aware the only database that does not have a JDBC driver is Access. Other than that a proper vendor provided driver is far better. Trust me, swapping to a proper driver will save you various headaches in the future!

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
