why i get the incorrect data from mySQL????

[leo tien]

I want get data from mySQL.
mySQL's table as following:
+---------+--------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+---------+--------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| article | int(4) unsigned zerofill | | PRI | 0000 | |
| dealer | char(20) | | PRI | | |
| price | double(16,2) | | | 0.00 | |
+---------+--------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
my table is :
+---------+--------+-------+
| article | dealer | price |
+---------+--------+-------+
| 0001 | A | 3.45 |
| 0001 | B | 3.99 |
| 0002 | A | 10.99 |
| 0003 | B | 1.45 |
| 0003 | C | 1.69 |
| 0003 | D | 1.25 |
| 0004 | D | 19.95 |
+---------+--------+-------+
then I get the data from it ,
......
ResultSet result;
ResultSetMetaData rs;
......
while(result.next()) {
System.out.println(result.getString(
rs.getColumnName(1)));
/*this sentence can not run.
System.out.println(result.getInt(
rs.getColumnName(1)));
*/
System.out.println(result.getString(
rs.getColumnName(2)));
System.out.println(result.getDouble(
rs.getColumnName(3)));
}
......
it display:
......
Article : pppq
Dealer :
price : 3.45
......
as you see, the problem take place: the article's data isn't "pppq", why occur this error? How can I resolve it??please help ,,,thanks....

article field is an int(4) and you access with getString(rs.getColumnName(1).............
shouldn't it be getInt(rs.getColumnName(1))
or something like that?

Hi,
For debugging make it as simple as possible.
Try the following (forget the metadata for now):
......
ResultSet rs;
......
while(rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
System.out.println(rs.getString(2));
System.out.println(rs.getString(3));
}
......
Does it print okay now? If yes, the problem probably lies with the metadata usage. If still a problem, try the query directly from mysql.
