Multiple queries on one page

Question

I am fairly new to JSP and need just a quick guideline and how to do so. So, I've put two very simple queries below. If anybody could just give some simple quidelines to follow, I would be very grateful.
<%@ include file="dbconnection.jsp" %>
<% int TitleID = 0;
String TitleName = "";
String LastIssue = "";
ResultSet rset = null;
String sql =
"SELECT " +
"t.TitleID, t.TitleName, t.LastIssue " +
"FROM " +
"IPs i, Titles t " +
"WHERE " +
"i.IPNumber = t.IPNumber " +
"AND " +
"t.TitleName LIKE " +
"'" + request.getParameter("TitleName") + "%'" +
"ORDER BY t.TitleName ";
try {
rset = stmt.executeQuery (sql);
catch (SQLException e) {
out.println (e);
return;
while (rset.next ())
TitleID = rset.getInt ("TitleID");
IPNumber = rset.getInt ("IPNumber");
TitleName = rset.getString ("TitleName");
LastIssue = rset.getString ("LastIssue");
%>
=====================================================
<% int IPNumber = 0;
String FirstName = "";
ResultSet rset = null;
String sql =
"SELECT " +
"t.IPNumber, t.FirstName " +
"FROM " +
"IPs i, Titles t " +
"WHERE " +
"i.IPNumber = t.IPNumber " +
"AND " +
"t.TitleName LIKE " +
"'" + request.getParameter("FirstName") + "%'" +
"ORDER BY t.FirstName ";
try {
rset = stmt.executeQuery (sql);
catch (SQLException e) {
out.println (e);
return;
while (rset.next ())
IPNumber = rset.getInt ("IPNumber");
TitleName = rset.getString ("FirstName");
%>

better yet, can you straighten me out, because i'm missing something:
     <%-- Run SQL Query --%>
<% String IPName;
int IPNumber;
int NumberOfPubs;
String CountryName;
String sql;
String sql2;
ResultSet rset = null;
IPName = "";
sql = "";
sql =
"SELECT distinct left(IPName,1) AS IPTitle FROM IPs ";
try {
rset = stmt.executeQuery (sql);
catch (SQLException e) {
out.println (e);
     return;
while (rset.next ())
IPName = rset.getString ("IPTitle");
%>
<%
try {
stmt.close();
conn.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {}
%>
     <a href="results_ip.jsp?IPName=<%= IPName %>"><%= IPName %></a>

     <%
