Moving Cursor Within ResultSet

There are many methods are given to move within result set. They makes easy to read data within result set. An example given below which illustrates those methods.

MovingCursorWithinResultSet.java

package roseindia.net;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class MovingCursorWithinResultSet {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
		Connection connection = null; // connection reference variable for getting
		// connection
		Statement statement = null; // Statement reference variable for query
		// Execution
		ResultSet resultSet = null; // ResultSet reference variable for saving query
		// result
		String conUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
		String driverName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
		String databaseName = "student";
		String usrName = "root";
		String usrPass = "root";
		try {
			// Loading Driver
			Class.forName(driverName);
		} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
			System.out.println(e.toString());
		}
		try {
			// Getting Connection
			connection = DriverManager.getConnection(conUrl + databaseName, usrName,
					usrPass);
			
			// Getting reference to connection object
			statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
			// creating Query String
			String query = "SELECT * FROM student";
			// excecuting query
			resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);
		// Getting Results ifrom ForWard only direction
			System.out.println("Moving Forward");
			while (resultSet.next()) {
				// Didplaying data of tables
				System.out.println("Roll No " + resultSet.getInt("RollNo") + ", Name "
						+ resultSet.getString("Name") + ", Course "
						+ resultSet.getString("Course") + ", Address "
						+ resultSet.getString("Address"));
			}
			resultSet.afterLast();
			System.out.println("\nMoving in BackWard Direction");
			while(resultSet.previous()){
				System.out.println("Roll No " + resultSet.getInt("RollNo") + ", Name "
						+ resultSet.getString("Name") + ", Course "
						+ resultSet.getString("Course") + ", Address "
						+ resultSet.getString("Address"));
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			System.out.println(e.toString());
		} finally {
			// Closing connection
			resultSet.close();
			statement.close();
			connection.close();
		}
	}
}

When you run this application it will display message as shown below:

Moving Forward
Roll No 1, Name Rajan, Course MCA, Address Motihari
Roll No 3, Name Rohan, Course MCA, Address Mumbai

Moving in BackWard Direction
Roll No 3, Name Rohan, Course MCA, Address Mumbai
Roll No 1, Name Rajan, Course MCA, Address Motihari
