SQL Exception when try to use resultset

[Mike Harris]

I am getting the following error:

java.sql.SQLException: Before start of result set.

The problem is occurring at:

c = rs.getInt("current_connections");

Below is my code:

import java.sql.*
import java.io.*;//delete
import java.util.*;//delete

//This class reads Master.txt file, so contents may be modified by writer
class Reader1 {
public Reader1(String command){
System.out.println("reader 1 has been called");
try {
int c;
int m;
Statement stmt;

System.out.println("reader 1 before sql");

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/jdbase?user=xxx&password=xxx");
String query = "SELECT current_connections, max_connections FROM master WHERE compid ='xxx'";
stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);

System.out.println("reader 1 after sql");

c = rs.getInt("current_connections");
m = rs.getInt("max_connections");

stmt.close();
conn.close();

System.out.println("got sql values");

//add c and m to an array called mast_arr
Chat6.mast_array[0]=c;
Chat6.mast_array[1]=m;
}//end try
catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
}
}

In a new result set, the cursor is positioned before the first record. To access the returned records you should do something like this:

while( rs.next())
{
    // access the record
}

rs.next() will return true if the cursor was sucessfully positioned on a record. You can then use the getxxx methods to retrieve the field data. If you are expecting just one row to be returned by the query you can leave out the while, but you still need to call next() and check the return code.

Ok, I tried that and now I get the following error:

java.sql.SQLException: After end of result set

Mike,
That shouldn't be happening. Is it possible rs.next() is in the code twice?

Can you post the revised code snippet?
