ResultSet exception – before start of result set

December 3, 2022 by Tarik

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);
}
