is a pointer to the result set. code example

Example: resultset put cursor to a specific position

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class ResultSet_DeletingRow {
   public static void main(String args[])throws Exception {
      //Registering the Driver
      DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver());
      //Getting the connection
      String mysqlUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydatabase";
      Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(mysqlUrl, "root", "password");
      System.out.println("Connection established......");
      //Creating a Statement object
      Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
      //Query to retrieve the contents of the employee_data table

      //Moving ResultSet object to the required position
      rs.absolute(3);
      //Contents of the current row
      System.out.println("First name: "+rs.getString(1));
      System.out.println("Last name: "+rs.getString(2));
      System.out.println("Date of birth: "+rs.getDate(3));
      System.out.println("Place of birth: "+rs.getString(4));
      System.out.println("Country: "+rs.getString(5));
   }
