I have created an extension of JTable, called ResultSetTable, to display any SQL ResultSet. It first gets the column names by looking at the meta data of the result set and then builds the table.

import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.ResultSetMetaData;
import java.sql.SQLException;
 
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
 
/**

public class ResultSetTable extends JTable{
 
  private final DefaultTableModel dataModel;
 
  public ResultSetTable(ResultSet rs)
                       throws SQLException{
 
    super();
    dataModel = new DefaultTableModel();
    setModel(dataModel);
 
    try {
      //create an array of column names
      ResultSetMetaData mdata = rs.getMetaData();
      int colCount = mdata.getColumnCount();
      String[] colNames = new String[colCount];
      for (int i = 1; i <= colCount; i++) {
        colNames[i - 1] = mdata.getColumnName(i);
      }
      dataModel.setColumnIdentifiers(colNames);
 
      //now populate the data
      while (rs.next()) {
        String[] rowData = new String[colCount];
        for (int i = 1; i <= colCount; i++) {
          rowData[i - 1] = rs.getString(i);
        }
        dataModel.addRow(rowData);
      }
    }
    finally{
      try {
        rs.close();
      }
      catch (SQLException ignore) {
      }
    }
  }
}
