How to create table with variable no. of columns using DEAPI

mohitkadam

Hi,

I want to populate a table from database.However my queries (i plan to get them from properties file) could change and depending on the queries the number of columns returned would change.
But while creating a table i have to specify no. of columns.

TableHandle table = elementFactory.newTableItem("Table", 4);
table.setWidth("100%");//$NON-NLS-1$
DataSetHandle datasetHandle = reportDesignHandle.findDataSet("DataSet");
table.setDataSet(datasetHandle);

Is there a way to only create a table and then add columns on the fly.
Also, can i get column names and no of columns present in my dataset / resultset before creating my table.
I suppose this would fix my problem. Pls help......any help will be appreciated.
-- Thanks
