Solved Problem checking rank in MySQL

Hi,

So, I've been creating a MySQL rank system for my network. Currently I'm stuck when checking the player's rank as it's returning null? I've put in some debug messages and it's checking the rank though not giving me a correct return value(null).

Code:

Code:java

public static Rank getRank(Player p) {
System.out.println("checking rank...");
ResultSet res = null;
try {
res = Main.statement.executeQuery("SELECT rank FROM test WHERE uuid='" + p.getUniqueId() + "';");
res.next();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
if(res.getString("rank") == "DEFAULT") {
System.out.println("GOT DEFAULT!");
return DEFAULT;
} // check other ranks with the same method

Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with MySQL so I don't know what the problem is, but you cannot compare Strings like that with ==. Use .equals() instead.

That fixed it. Thanks.
