Retrieving Strings from Database query ??

Question

Hi,
The problem i'm having at the moment is, with the following code:
connect = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://ash.bc.ic.ac.uk/KEGG_devel?user=null&password=guest");
Statement stmnt1 = connect.createStatement();
ResultSet rs1 = stmnt1.executeQuery("SELECT DISTINCT A.ReactID, A.ECid FROM ECReact As A INNER JOIN ECReact As B ON A.ECid = B.ECid AND A.id <> B.id ");
System.out.println("the size of rs1 is: " +rs1.getFetchSize());
while (rs1.next()){
String reactionId = rs1.getString("ReactID");
String ecNumb = rs1.getString("ECid");
System.out.println("the value of ecNumb is :" +ecNumb);
I want to be able to retrieve a String from the query called ECid - an example of such a String would be 4.2.1.86 or 4.2.1.44. However, when i'm Storing the "ECid" in a String called ecNumb and then printing the String all that i get returned is the last 2 digits !
Does anyone know how to resolve this ??
Thanks very much for any help
(oh yeah + for future reference, how do i highlight code in topics??)

Answer 1

to highlight code... isSimple...
[bold] [ code][bold]
your code pasted in here
[bold] [ / code][bold]
but leave out the spaces in the []
i had to add them to get [ c o d e ] to show up.
