How to get column name

1 New Member
Hi,
I am using pgSQL as database with JSP.
I have given coomets to each column in table.
I have retieved the column comment using :

"select col_description ('table_name':: regclass,column +index)"
Now i have stored these column comments in a combo box.
Now i want to retrieve the column name matching with the comments in combo.
When user selects the comment from combo then appropriate column name should be desplayed below.

Eexample:
suppose
table_name=institute
columns: instcode,instna me.
column comments: institute code,institute name // this will be in combo
When user selects "institute name" from combo then "instcode" then i should get "instname"

PLz help me

Using comments in this manner is something I would refrain from, but if you really want to do it this way why not use the column names and comments together when coding your combo-box?
For each selection (OPTION in HTML) the comment would make a display string, while the column name will be used as actual value.

I am trying to turn a short and fat (63 columns) table into one that is tall and skinny (7 columns). Basically, I am trying to create a "reverse crosstab" using a looping structure in VBA along with SQL. I'd like to take the name of the column and input it into a descritor field. This isn't the table, but will serve as a better illustration than the real deal. If the table looks like this:

Hi, I have a GridView and a SqlDataSource controls on a page. The SqlDataSource object uses stored procedures to do the CRUD operations.

So, I have hidden (Visible=false) this column on the grid. In order to access the value in this field, I have created a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
