Access to non spatial tables in oracle mapviewer/ oracle maps V2

Question

Hello,
We want to have access to non spatial oracle tables (for value list creation etc), existing in oracle mapviewer spatial datasource (ex datasource: MVDEMO/ nospatial table: Employees).
We have allready created the datasource MVDEMO and we want to avoid the creation of an external datasource to the same oracle user.
Thxs,
Bill

Thanks.  Your answer was very helpful.  It pointed me in the right direction.  I wanted to be able to generate a table, below the map, which listed all the points (and their associated data) shown on the map.  The simplified code I used is shown below.  The function is called using an event listener (map.addListener(OM.event.MapEvent.LAYER_ADDED, createTable) which fires after the pointlayer is added to the map.
function createTable(evt) {
    var tableRecords = pointLayer.getAllFeatures();
    var tableRecordsAttr = pointLayer.getAttributeNames();
    divElem = document.createElement('div');
    tableElem = document.createElement('table');
    tbodyElem = document.createElement('tbody');
    rowElem = document.createElement('tr');
    // create the table headings     
    for (var i = 0; i < tableRecordsAttr.length; i++) {
        colElem = document.createElement('th');
        colElem.appendChild(document.createTextNode(tableRecordsAttr[i]));
        rowElem.appendChild(colElem);
    tbodyElem.appendChild(rowElem);
    // populate each row of the table with data
    for (var i = 0; i < tableRecords.length; i++) {
        rowElem = document.createElement('tr');
        for (var j = 0; j < tableRecordsAttr.length; j++) {
            colElem = document.createElement('td');
            colElem.appendChild(document.createTextNode(tableRecords[i].getAttributes()[tableRecordsAttr[j]]));
            rowElem.appendChild(colElem);
        tbodyElem.appendChild(rowElem);
    tableElem.appendChild(tbodyElem);
    divElem.appendChild(tableElem);
    document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(divElem);
