Loading data into an array

Question

Hi,
Suppose I have the following piece of code:
BEGIN
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT name FROM users;");
Vector temp = new Vector();
while(rs.next()) {
String name = rs.getString(1);
temp.addElement(name);
String[] names = new String[temp.size()];
for(int i=0; i<names.length; i++) {
names[i] = (String) temp.elementAt(i);
END
Basically the idea this: select data from the database and store it in a ResultSet. Because the length of the row is unknown I use a temporary Vector (growable array). After all rows have been read I can declare a String array with a specified length based on the size of the Vector. By using a for loop I copy the data stored in the Vector to the array.
This works fine, but I believe this produced a lot of overhead. Is there a better/faster/smarter way to do this?
Thanks!

Answer 1

insted of for loop u can use
Vector.toArray().
