Storing sql recordset in an array, or list, or similar

Question

I should probably understand hashmaps better before posting this, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciated it.
I'd like to store a sql resultset having an integer and a string in an array, or list, or similar. That is, I'd like to close the recordset and still have the data stored somehow.
Problem wth an array is, as I understand it, even a multi-dimensional array has to be of the same type:
String [][] records ...or
int [][] records;
I'd like to declare:
int[]String[] records;
...and store the resultset into this array(list, or collection, or whatever) in a while loop.
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
int i = 0;
while ( rs.next() ) {
records[0] = rs.getString( "ObjectId") ;
records[i][1] = rs.getString( "ObjectName" );
rs.close();
statement.close();
Any ideas appreciated.

You could declare create a your own class as -
class MyRecord extends Object {
int id;
String name;
public MyRecord(int id, String name) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}Then use a Vector to save the records as you iterate
over the ResultSet
Vector records = new Vector();
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
while (rs.next()) {
records.add(
new
MyRecord(rs.getInt("ObjectId"),rs.getString("ObjectNam
e"));
}To retrieve records you must use the get() method of
Vector.
MyRecord rec = (MyRecord)records.get(i);
Aren't you going to put parameter to Vector<?> ?
this is based on the JDK Generics 1.5
