    <p><strong>Edit 4: the problem came from using the string name of the column instead of the column number as indicated below by nuzz</strong></p> <p>I've been searching all day and can't figure out how to get a full text search to return a string. It works fine when I type it directly into the mysql command prompt and also works fine if I just use SELECT username FROM user_info; but I get nothing with this.</p> <pre><code>String result = ""; String request = "SELECT username FROM user_info WHERE MATCH (username) AGAINST ('themanager');"; Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(request); while (rs.next()) { result += rs.getString("username") ; result += "\n"; } </code></pre> <p>Edit 1: Here's the code for the table:</p> <pre><code> Create table user_info ( username varchar(16), password varchar(16), email varchar(16), PRIMARY KEY(username,email)); ALTER table user_info add FULLTEXT(username,email); </code></pre> <p>Sorry I'm still new to this and have no clue how to copy the code from desc user_info without posting a print screen.</p> <p>Edit 2: oops wrong code, same problem though.</p> <p>Edit 3: Just figuered out how to copy the desc. The output gives me all the users in the database for SELECT username FROM user_info;. I haven't a clue about the specifics of my database system just in that its a default install of mysql.</p> <pre><code>+-----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(16) | NO | PRI | | | | password | varchar(16) | YES | | NULL | | | email | varchar(50) | NO | PRI | | | +-----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
