why this program is not executing when it goes in to the do while loop second time and why it is giving the exception "Exception java.sql.SQLException: [MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver][mysqld-5.0.51a-community-nt]No database selected"

Unless you have to use the jdbc/odbc driver I would use the straight mysql jdbc driver. You can download it free from mysql.

then 

```
public void LoadDriver() {

        // Load the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver
        try {
                Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException ee) {
                ee.printStackTrace();
        }
}

static void connect() throws SQLException {

        // Connect to the database
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:host/databasename", "root", "admin");
        Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
...

```
Just from looking at the exception.. I would guess that you are not specifying the database.
How can you do a select on a table without telling it which schema to select from ?
This is typically set in the connection string..
