In my servlet, I am doing a query of one table bringing back the data with
the method dataResultSet1.getString() then using what I get back to look for
a match in another table using the sql LIKE syntax. I just want to count the
matches from my first table that match my second table. I interate through
them using an outer and innner while statement.
- Should I be using sql COUNT and if so, how do I get the count into a
variable I can use in my servlet?
- What other options do I have?

Sincerely,

Tom Kochanowicz


Here is what I have so far....

                // Outer loop checks for email & phrase.
                while(dataResultSet1.next()){

//if(dataResultSet1.getString("Email").trim().equals("[EMAIL PROTECTED]
t")){

                        //System.out.println("THE PHRASE IS " + 
dataResultSet1.getString("Phrase").trim());
                        String phrase = dataResultSet1.getString("Phrase").trim();
                        String email = dataResultSet1.getString("Email").trim();

                        // Inner loop checks if the Phrase found above matches any of 
the WhatAdSays01 info.
                        stmt2 = dbConnection.createStatement();
                        dataResultSet2 = stmt2.executeQuery("select WhatAdSays01 from 
AdInfoView WHERE WhatAdSays01 LIKE '%" + phrase + "%'");

                        while(dataResultSet2.next()){
                                // Count the number of matches.
                                countForMatches++;
                                ///outputToBrowser.println("   WE HAVE A MATCH" + 
countForMatches);

                        }
                        outputToBrowser.println("WE HAVE FOUND " + countForMatches + " 
matches for your search word(s) " + phrase + "  ");
                        count++;
                }
