Java, getting data from a Derby database and converting each row into a Json object

I am tinkering with Java and Derby database, and wrote code to get all the rows from a derby database (netbeans integrated database) and create a JSON object from it.

try {
      PreparedStatement statement = this.con.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM PURCHASEORDERS");
      ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery();
      JSONObject objectJson = new JSONObject();
      while(result.next()){
      for (int x=1;x<(result.getMetaData().getColumnCount())+1;x++)
      {
          if(result.getMetaData().getColumnType(x)==java.sql.Types.INTEGER)
          {objectJson.put(result.getMetaData().getColumnName(x), result.getInt(x));}
          if(result.getMetaData().getColumnType(x)== java.sql.Types.VARCHAR)
          {objectJson.put(result.getMetaData().getColumnName(x), result.getString(x));}
          if(result.getMetaData().getColumnType(x)== java.sql.Types.BOOLEAN)
          {objectJson.put(result.getMetaData().getColumnName(x), result.getBoolean(x));}
      }
      }
      System.out.println(objectJson);

Here is what the output is

{"STATUS":"ordered","DEPARTMENTCODE":"Enterfake","COMPLETEDSTATUS":true,"PURCHASEID":4,"DELIVERYATTENTION":"fake"}

which is the last row of the database. My question is why is it giving me only the last row? and How can I make it so that it gives me all the rows? Any Ideas?

If you put an object to JSONObject with same key, then the previous values with that key will get overwritten, not added (because a JSON object can not have multiple keys with same name).

To get it working, create a list and then add that list to your JSONObject
