It s better if you create a class that has all the query methods  inclusively  in a different package  so instead of typing all the process in every class  you just call the method from that class

Basically you are positioning the cursor before the first row and then requesting data  You need to move the cursor to the first row    result next     String foundType   result getString 1     It is common to do this in an if statement or loop   if result next        foundType   result getString 1

You have to do a result next   before you can access the result   It s a very common idiom to do  ResultSet rs   stmt executeQuery    while  rs next         int foo   rs getInt 1

You need to move the pointer to the first row  before asking for data   result beforeFirst    result next    String foundType   result getString 1

You have to call next   before you can start reading values from the first row  beforeFirst puts the cursor before the first row  so there s no data to read

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
