Get Number of Rows returned by ResultSet in Java

Question

I have used a ResultSet that returns certain number of rows. My code is something like this:

ResultSet res = getData();
if(!res.next())
{
    Sy

A simple getRowCount method can look like this :

private int getRowCount(ResultSet resultSet) {
    if (resultSet == null) {
        return 0;
    }

    try {
        resultSet.last();
        return resultSet.getRow();
    } catch (SQLException exp) {
        exp.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        try {
            resultSet.beforeFirst();
        } catch (SQLException exp) {
            exp.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

Just to be aware that this method will need a scroll sensitive resultSet, so while creating the connection you have to specify the scroll option. Default is FORWARD and using this method will throw you exception.
