Well, you must get a result set from the database. I'm guessing you loop through that result set and on each time through that looop, you open a new FileOutputStream, right? What you want to do is open the FileOutputStream before the loop, write to it in the loop, and close it after the loop.

If that's not it, then post some code and we'll see if we can spot the problem.

thanks for the reply Greg Charles,

well obviously i wasnt able to incorporate yet a loop just like what you have said,
and also ,im pretty new to java so sorry for my coding

hope you could help me handle it though.
you see with the codes i have now i was able to output only the last
database value in a text file.

but i need to take the whole content of the table.
any suggestions?examples are are also pretty welcome for my better understanding also.

super thank you ^^
GOD bless.

OK, so this code isn't the body of a loop? In that case, then you're only running it once and you're actually getting just the first row of you results. Why can't you use a loop? Do you not know loop syntax, or is it just result sets that are the problem?

In any case, try here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/basics/retrieving.html

oh im sorry is it the while loop you are referring about?
yes indeed it is the body of that, and yes it did confused me a lot why isn't
outputting the who content of the database table since when i just try to display it on a page it was
doing well.

so i thought you are referring to another loop.


here is a a bigger part of my code anyway Thanks ^^




you can revise some if you feel like doing so. Thank you and God Bless.

So you open and close the output file inside the loop, which is exactly what I guessed.

You mean, why did you just get the one row of your database result in the file? Imagine that you're writing on paper and when you get to the end of a line, instead of going down to the next line, you go back to the beginning of the same line and write on top of what you wrote before. You end up with just one (really messy) line. Now further imagine that you have a magic pen, which erases everything you wrote previously when you start writing on a line. You end up with just the last line you wrote. That's what you were doing by opening and closing the file inside the loop body. Each time you open a file with a FileOutputStream, it clears out the previous contents of that file.
