I have very simple code:
pstat=con.prepareStatement("select typeid from users where username=? and password=?");
pstat.setString(1, username);
pstat.setString(2, password);
rs=pstat.executeQuery();
int rowCount=0;
while(rs.next())
{
rowCount++;
}
rs.beforeFirst();
if(rowCount>=1)
{
while(rs.next())
{
typeID=rs.getInt(1);
}
But when execute this code I am getting...
java.sql.SQLException: Result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY

What is causing this and how can I fix it?
You can only do this with a resultset that is of type TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, which is defined as "The constant indicating the type for a ResultSet object that is scrollable and generally sensitive to changes made by others."
You need to do something like the following ...
This question is pretty old. I believe the solution would already have been found. However, i would like to suggest here something different from what Aditya did.
Instead of ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, i would use INSENSITIVE
Check this link for refernce
the rowCount variable is not necessary . you are performing two loops on the rs . only the second loop is necessary to get the number of rows which is done by this part of code:
Change your first statement to this
This way you can move forward and backward, so less things to worry about
Though this question is old, answers do not age, encountered a similar problem today, this is how I approached it, as here This is the functionality provided by Java JDBC driver, and PostgreSQL database. This case create a Statement object using the default parameters, the system-generated data sets can only be a one-way move the pointer forward, and not two-way mobile data record pointer, the former
Statement stmt = dbConn.createStatement ();
Result rs = stmt.executeQuery (sql);
Changed to
Statement stmt = dbConn.createStatement (ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
Result rs = stmt.executeQuery (sql);
Generated at this time rs can use rs.first () reverse move the pointer operation
Like the exception says: You can't scroll your result set in any other direction than forwards. So when you loop through your result set to get the row count (I don't even understand why you do it), then this row will throw that exception:
because that would scroll backwards.
Either create your statement so that you can scroll it (Google for examples) or remove that row counting. I'd suggest the latter, since the count seems unnecessary.
