I need the column names from a table using a query. PHP has a function for that. Java does not as far as I can tell. I can not find documentation on this. Is there a function in Java or a query I can use to do this?
sure, java will give you column names. see java.sql.ResultSetMetaData (http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/index.html)
