i am sorry about the initial posting, i guess i didn't do a full copy before my cut and paste. anyway the question is: is this the correct format to get the numeric value from the recordset?
java.math.BigDecimal gotNum = rs.getBigDecimal("someNumbericValue");

Hi,
when you say the column value is numeric you can use rs.getInt("columnName") also, it depends upon the column's datatype.

You might notice that the date of the initial post is from almost three years ago.
