This is the next article in the series of database applications in JSP. In this article, I am going to describe how to select specific data from a database. First we construct a database and a DSN then generate a JSP application which selects specific data from a database. For constructing the database and DSN you may follow the first application of database ( working with database application in JSP). For developing this application we follow the following steps.

Step 1 : Create a New Project.

In this step we select New Project option from file menu.

selectdata.jsp

<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<% Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Select Data From a Database</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="cyan">
<H1>Select Data From a Database</H1>
<%
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:odbc:data2");
Statement statement = connection.createStatement() ;
ResultSet resultset =
statement.executeQuery("select * from table1 where City = 'Meerut'") ;
%>
<TABLE BORDER="1">
<TR>
<TH>ID</TH>
<TH>Name</TH>
<TH>City</TH>
<TH>State</TH>
<TH>Country</TH>
</TR>
<% while(resultset.next()){ %>
<TR>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(1) %></td>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(2) %></TD>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(3) %></TD>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(4) %></TD>
<TD> <%= resultset.getString(5) %></TD>
</TR>
<% } %>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Step 7 : Compile and Run the application.

Now we compile the application and then run it on the server and find the following output.
