ResultSet exception - before start of result set

Question

I\'m having trouble getting data from a ResultSet object. Here is my code:

    String sql = \"SELECT type FROM node WHERE nid = ?\";
    PreparedStatement pr         


        

Answer 1

Every answer uses .next() or uses .beforeFirst() and then .next(). But why not this:

result.first();

So You just set the pointer to the first record and go from there. It's available since java 1.2 and I just wanted to mention this for anyone whose ResultSet exists of one specific record.
