How to get row count using ResultSet in Java?

Question

I\'m trying to create a simple method that receives a ResultSet as a parameter and returns an int that contains the row count of the ResultSet. Is this a valid way of doing

Answer 1

If you have table and storing the ID as primary and auto increment then this will work

Example code to get the total row count http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0340__Database/GettheNumberofRowsinaDatabaseTable.htm

Below is code

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

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Connection conn = getConnection();
    Statement st = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
        ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);

    st.executeUpdate("create table survey (id int,name varchar(30));");
    st.executeUpdate("insert into survey (id,name ) values (1,'nameValue')");
    st.executeUpdate("insert into survey (id,name ) values (2,null)");
    st.executeUpdate("insert into survey (id,name ) values (3,'Tom')");
    st = conn.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM survey");

    rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM survey");
    // get the number of rows from the result set
    rs.next();
    int rowCount = rs.getInt(1);
    System.out.println(rowCount);

    rs.close();
    st.close();
    conn.close();

  }

  private static Connection getConnection() throws Exception {
    Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
    String url = "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:data/tutorial";

    return DriverManager.getConnection(url, "sa", "");
  }
}
