I realized that when I looked more carefully at the code.

That would be really nice.
Another approach is to reread the entire resultset, but with hundreds of rows that's not pretty. Probably faster than
manyround trips to get the column names. I could have my programming look at the size of the resultset and the number
ofcolumns and decide whether to execute the query again or refreshRow.
