Since we can't see your code or your database, it's impossible for anybody here to tell you what's going wrong.

Could you please provide us with the relevant code that opens the connection to the database and executes the query? Please rember to TellTheDetails when posting a question.

Dear sir,
I am sorry that i did not clearly explain my doubt..i am new to this site. That is why..



This is the code i wrote. I am using Oracle 10g xe database and my operating system is windows8. Eclipse juno is my environment.


In my Run SQL Command Line i wrote query to display all tables in my database and their schemas...I found Countries table in hr schema...
In my java code when i tried "select * from hr.Countries"..it worked properly and displayed all country names.

Then i created emp table in hr schema with "name" as attribute.
create table hr.emp(name varchar(10));
insert into emp values('sreela');

But when i query the database it is not retreiving any value...


Can you please help me..If the data i provided is not sufficient, please ask me ok..

Regards
Sreela

This is your problem:


Remember, every time you call rs.next(), it moves forward one row in the result set, unless you're already at the last row, in which has it moves to nothing and returns false.

On the first line, you move to the first row of the RS--the one and only row in that table--and print out that row, which probably gives you something like oracle.jdbc.driver.ResultSet@12345678. Then your while loop calls rs.next() again, moving you past the first (and only) row and on to the next row, which doesn't exist, so, on to nothing. You've only inserted 1 row, so there is no next row, so while is false and you skip the body of the loop altogether.

If you had 2 rows, that would print out only the 2nd one. If you had 3 rows, it would print out the 2nd and 3rd.

Sir ,i understood what you said. But what should i do to print the one row that is in my table.

When i omitted the rs.next() statement, it is showing exception java.sql.SQLException:ResultSet.next was not allowed

One row or one mililon rows, the exact same code can work. Call rs.next() until you run out of rows, and extract and print the columns from each row as you encounter it.

When i omitted the rs.next() statement, it is showing exception java.sql.SQLException:ResultSet.next was not allowed



I didn't say you should get rid of rs.next(). Go back and look at what I said, and look at your code. Your problem was that your first call to rs.next() had what you wanted, but you didn't extract the column data from it.

Hi sir

I tried what you said.But now also no value retreived.






Also system.out.println(rs.next()) is printing false..So it means that no data is being retreived know..

You're not paying attention to what I said.



The above code completely ignores the data in the first row that's returned.

If the first println() is printing false, then no data was returned, and that's a separate problem you'll have to work on, but deal with that later.

That code says, "First tell me whether any rows were retrieved, then, if at least 2 rows were retrieved, print out the 'name' column from the second row."

Dear sir

I am understanding what you are saying.

This won't show any value.That i do understand as i have called rs.next() twice.But the problem that confuses me is, then why the first System.out.println(rs.next()) is returning false..So some other problem is also there na...


I had also tried the code you said:
That is



Then also no output.

Sir, I am so happy that i am getting your support very much..Thanks alot. But please don't lose your patience hearing my doubts
