      while(resultSet.next()) {
         row = spreadsheet.createRow(i);
         cell = row.createCell(1);
         cell.setCellValue(resultSet.getInt("ID"));
         
         cell = row.createCell(2);
         cell.setCellValue(resultSet.getString("NAME"));
         
         cell = row.createCell(3);

         cell.setCellValue(resultSet.getString("EMAIL"));
         i++;
      }
      
      FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(
         new File("C:/poiexcel/exceldatabase.xlsx"));
