I got problems in creating a table using java

Question

ok here's what i want to happen, i have a table named tblField that has 3 columns.
These 3 columns are:
1. field_ID
2. field_Desc
3. field_Fruit
The table tblField returns 7 rows in which the values of field_Fruit are:
1. apple
2. banana
3. orange
4. watermelon
5. pineapple
6. mango
7. lemon
what i want to do is I want to create a new table named tblNewTable that will get the 7 values of field_Fruit and be the columns of the new table tblNewTable.
So the result would be: I have this new table named tblNewTable and the column names are:
1. apple
2. banana
3. orange
4. watermelon
5. pineapple
6. mango
7. lemon
btw i already know how to create a table with hardcoded values.
An example of create statement is shown below:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblNewTable] ({[Column Name] [char] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL)For the problem posted above, the first thing i should do is to get all the values of field_Fruit first and put them all in a vector. After that, i should use the create statement using the vector to return all the values of field_Fruit. I tried to do the code below but it doesnt wrk:
int x = 0;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblNewTable] (while(x < vFieldFruitVector.size()){ {[Column Name] [char] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL x = x + 1;})vFieldFruitVector is the vector/values of field_Fruit.
anyone who can help me solve my problem? thanks in advance! :)

Unless you are using some special tag library or something, SQL is not, as far as I've ever seen, going to handle while loops within the statements. You want to create the table, then you have to create the CREATE statement string
String c = "CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblNewTable] (";
for(int x = 0; x < vFieldFruitVector.size(); x++) {
   c += vFieldFruitVector.get(x) + " char 50 COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL";
c += ")";
int res = stmt.executeUpdate(c);
