    Statement st = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);

    st.executeUpdate("create table survey (id int,name varchar(30));");
    st.executeUpdate("insert into survey (id,name ) values (1,'nameValue')");
    st.executeUpdate("insert into survey (id,name ) values (2,null)");
    st.executeUpdate("insert into survey (id,name ) values (3,'Tom')");
    ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM survey");
    // Move cursor forward
    while (rs.next()) {
      String id = rs.getString("id");
      System.out.println(id);
    }
    // Move cursor backward
    while (rs.previous()) {
      // Get data at cursor
      String id = rs.getString("id");
      System.out.println(id);
    }

    
    rs.close();
    st.close();
    conn.close();
  }
  private static Connection getConnection() throws Exception {
    Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
