Guess there's no end to human ingenuity, eh. > I'm basically using the structures as temporary tables when working with an SQL database. I query the database, and it returns the number of columns and field names in the result set. So I create a structure on the fly using the field names, and store the returned rows as instances of that newly created structure. Now I can refer to the columns by name with any result set using the same code. But my program will be working in a loop with lots of different result sets, and there is no need to keep the old definitions around when I'm done with a particular set.
