hello guys,
i am retrieving my field names from the database and i view it thru HTML.
When i view it,the column names are those which are given while creating tables.

i want it as First Name,Last Name,Phone Number etc ...<%
try {
     stmt = con.createStatement();
     sql="SELECT fname, lname, gender, email,phnum,sartweblink, sartaddress1, sartaddress2,sartcounty, country,sartpostcode,dob FROM Artist where artistid='" + sartid + "'";
     rs=stmt.executeQuery(sql);
     rsmd=rs.getMetaData();
     int colcount=rsmd.getColumnCount();
     for(i=1;i<=colcount;i++)
%>
          <tr><td width="200"><FONT face=verdana size=2><%= rsmd.getColumnName(i)%>
<%
%>               </FONT>
    <font face=verdana size=2>
      <% while(rs.next())
          fname=rs.getString("fname");
          lname=rs.getString("lname");
          gender=rs.getString("gender");
          email=rs.getString("email");
           phnum=rs.getInt("phnum");
          weblink=rs.getString("sartweblink");
          address1=rs.getString("sartaddress1");
          address2=rs.getString("sartaddress2");
          county=rs.getString("sartcounty");
          country=rs.getString("country");
          postcode=rs.getString("sartpostcode");
           dob=rs.getString("dob");
      %>i make use of metadata..
can anyone tell me how to do this..

Answer 1

why not use alias:
your query is
SELECT fname, lname, gender, email
and will be:
SELECT fname FIRSTNAME, lname LASTNAME, gender GENDER, email EMAILADDRESS
