Hi,

A null pointer exception is being given on this line
while (result.next())

I am trying to add an if statment but the compiler is reporting an error.

if (result.next() == null)

operator == cannot be applied to boolean,<nulltype

Hi,

if (result == null) should work

From the context you can tell that next() returns a boolean, so the return
value cannot be null. This leaves only result as suspect. Why is result
null when you're entering that line?
