what do u mean the coloumn index?
u mean u supply the name and u get the index number??
it usually works the other way around.
u have all the coloumns and u want to know their names.

In my code, I need to call metadata.getColumnDisplaySize(i);
This method takes column index, at this point I know column name not the index. So can I pass columnname and get column index from metadata ?

"SeemaH",
The Java Ranch has thousands of visitors every week, many with surprisingly similar names. To avoid confusion we have a naming convention, described at http://www.javaranch.com/name.jsp .
We require names to have at least two words, separated by a space, and strongly recommend that you use your full real name. Please re-register and select a new name which meets the requirements.
Thanks.
Dave
