How can i group certain columns in a ResultSet

I have a generic query to retrieve the result from the Database
Once the result is returned back, I want to show the information in various formats eseentially group by different columns.
Is there any way i can do that in a Result set ?

No, you cannot apply any of the "group by" technique on ResultSet object.

You can apply group by in the query itself, or otherwise, you can do some java coding to achieve that.

Is there any 3rd party framework which can do that ?
Or do i ahve to write a custom component for grouping the Data ?

You really need to write your own. There are data management tools, but its kind of a vague area since almost all database-driven applications would fall under the category of data management tools.

You can easily store the contents of the result set in an array of HashMaps since essentially a single record is equivalent to a Map. Then, you just need to sort the data over the array of maps, and/or build simplified indexes over the array as needed.
