Hello Everyone,
here is my code .... please help me out of this...



String strQuery=sqlQuery;
Statement st=con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery(strQuery);
ResultSetMetaData metaData=rs.getMetaData();
int colCount =metaData.getColumnCount();
for(int i=1;i<=rowCount;i++){
System.out.print(metaData.getColumnName(i).format("%"+metaData.getColumnDisplaySize(i)+"s",metaData.getColumnName(i)).replace(" "," "));

}

and showing me the above error.


thanks,
karthik swamy

I suggest you also print out your separate values* and post the results here. Perhaps some value isn't what you think it is.

* that means metaData.getColumnName(i), metaData.getColumnDisplaySize(i) and metaData.getColumnName(i)

For mysql i have found the metadata to be a bit unreliable, The core things like column name, table name are all good, but sizes are a bit unreliable.

I don't know what database you are on, but you may find it is the same.
