I should have only said HACK not fix... :) Totally understand that
there is a better way to do it, I just need to get something working,
(this is not for production use) therefore hitting the database is fine
for me right now, and all statements are "select * from tablename"
again this is specific hack for Java Studio Creator.
Can't wait till a real JDBC Developer attacks the problem.
Thanks for the awesome work you guys do!
