Question

Aim: I would like to print line the output of the below SQL statment. Normally I use rs.getString("rowname") however SUM doesn’t specify a COLUMN, so I am a little stumped on how this can be done.

SELECT SUM(HOURS) FROM RESOURCE WHERE DATE = '02/08/2013'; --Actual SQL Query as used below

ResultSet rs = stat.executeQuery("SELECT SUM(HOURS) FROM RESOURCE WHERE DATE = '02/08/2013';");

            out.println("<tr>");
            out.println("<td>" + rs.get + "</td>");
            out.println("</tr>");            
        }

Answer 1

Did you try

rs.getLong(1);
