Hi friend,


public interface ResultSetMetaData

An object that can be used to get information about the types and properties of the columns in a ResultSet object.

For example :

ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM table");
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
int numberOfColumns = rsmd.getColumnCount();
