Hello to all!!I have a problem, how do i return the columns names, I know how to return the data from my database, but I have no idea how to return the columns names, does somebody know?Thanks a lot!!!

Not sure why you would want to get the column names - because the whole purpose of using H would be to NOT to deal with column names and just deal with properties.

However, if you insist, you can do this in 2 ways:

1. Use straight JDBC

// get teh JDBC connection
Connection conn = session.connection();
DatabaseMetadata dbmd = conn.getMetaData();
// and then from the here get teh table and then the columns and names etc.

// look up the JDBC API for more details


2. Use the Configuration

Configuration.getClassMapping("SomeClass").getTable().getColumnIterator();

// I think this returns a list of String column names - check the H API for more details

Hope this helps

Hi!I need the column names because, I want to display them in table. That's what I want!!!

Wouldn't you be better off displaying the property names? Or even better, to internationalize your code, use a properties file (Application.properties.EN, Application.properties.DE, etc.: see ResourceBundle in your JDK javadocs).

Well .. I guess my previous post did explain how to get the column names - if you so want it:)
