storing Resultset in a collection

[surendar prabu]

I need to store my resultset in a collection object.is there any direct method available for this? or should i explicitly type cast result set to a collection?

regards,

No to both questions.

What you should do is this: read each row of the ResultSet; convert that row to an object of some class that is suitable to your program's requirements; add that object to a collection.

Don't forget to read the resultsetmetadata to extract the field name, size, type etc.,etc., Which will be handy if you want to generate a generalised code to work with any database

I think what you need is disconnected rowset. Rowset extends ResultSet. You can definitely keep this Rowset in any collection object. There is no need to typecast while storing, but while retrieving you need to downcast.

This is what I understand from your question...hope it helps.

If you can try using the Apache QueryRunner, which is part of the dbutils, jakarta commons project.

You can get examples at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbutils/examples.html

I have created a class for my project, i hope it might be useful for you..
Also make sure, the rows fetched are limited or it may eat up your memory..
