Problem in result set from mySQL

[biocoder]

Hi guys,

I am writing an application using jsp/servlets and mySQL backend. When I get a result set from mySQL into a servlet, the data is being picked up fine. But it is wrapped around square brackets.

So, instead of getting CKT as a value in the resultset, I am getting [CKT] as the value. I am working around it using the substring method, but anyone has an idea as to why I am getting [CKT] and not CKT? is it something with mySQL?

Thanks!

Is it stored with brackets in the database?
