I want to print total number of count with exception in excel using java

Question

I want to print in excel Like, "5" "nullpointer exception" "15" "ZZZZZ exception" "7" "XYZ exception"

I am fetching all the exceptions from mysql database.

Below code gives output of all the exceptions in excel file but dont know how to group those exceptions? One more help, this code prints all the data horizontally Like, "nullpointer exception" "ZZZZZ exception" "XYZ exception".

can you help me to print it vertically and group all those exceptions with count? Thanks.

Some suggestions:

1.) Use the GROUP BY statement in your query:

SELECT
    EXCEPTION_MESSAGE, COUNT(*) AS EXCEPTION_COUNT
FROM
    ....
GROUP BY
    EXCEPTION_MESSAGE;

2.) Now each entry of your ResultSet matches one row of your "target-excel". Ie Your while loop should look like:

for(int i=0; rs.next(); i++)
{
    HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow(i);
    row.createCell(0).setCellValue(rs.getString("EXCEPTION_MESSAGE"));
    row.createCell(1).setCellValue(rs.getString("EXCEPTION_COUNT"));
}
