Print the data in ResultSet along with column names

Question

I am retrieving columns names from a SQL database through Java  I know I can retrieve columns names from ResultSet too  So I have this sql query    select column name from information schema columns where table name  suppliers    The problem is I don t know how can I get columns names from ResultSet and my code is  public void getAllColumnNames   throws Exception   String sql    SELECT column name from information schema columns where table name  suppliers     PreparedStatement ps   connection prepareStatement sql   ResultSet rs   ps executeQuery sql       extract values from rs

For what you are trying to do  instead of PreparedStatement you can use Statement  Your code may be modified as-  String sql    SELECT column name from information schema columns where table name  suppliers      Statement s    connection createStatement    ResultSet rs   s executeQuery sql     Hope this helps

For those who wanted more better version of the resultset printing as util class This was really helpful for printing resultset and does many things from a single util    thanks to Hami Torun   In this class printResultSet uses ResultSetMetaData in a generic way have a look at it      import java sql    import java util ArrayList  import java util List  import java util StringJoiner   public final class DBTablePrinter                   Column type category for CHAR  VARCHAR        and similar text columns              public static final int CATEGORY STRING   1                 Column type

Have a look at the documentation  You made the following mistakes  Firstly  ps executeQuery   doesn t have any parameters  Instead you passed the SQL query into it   Secondly  regarding the prepared statement  you have to use the   symbol if want to pass any parameters  And later bind it using   setXXX index  value     Here xxx stands for the data type
