Retrieving Count (*) value

[Param Yanamandra]

Hi Everyone,
Here is my problem. I have a table and I m interested in finding the number of rows from a select statement.
SELECT COUNT(EMPID) FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE DEPARTMENT = 'HR';
After I execute the query I don't know how to retrieve the integer value. I used ResultSet.getInt(integer) but it doesn't help. Any idea on how to get the count value. Appreciate your response. Thanks,
Param

I think I figured it out. ResultSet.getInt(1) since the result set has only one column containing the Count(Empid) value.

u can use
resultset.getInt("COUNT(EMPID)")
or
resultset.getInt(1); according to your query
