Sorry, I did not mean to send directly to just you, but something like this:
int rowNum = 0; columnsAndRows = new HashMap(); while(myquery.next()) { // increment the row number rowNum++; // add all columns from this row to the Map. columnsAndRows.put ( "column_name1**" + rowNum, myquery.getObject(1) ); columnsAndRows.put ( "column_name2**" + rowNum, myquery.getObject(2) ); columnsAndRows.put ( "column_name3**" + rowNum, myquery.getObject(3) ); //........... and so on. } and then to fetch for eg: column_name2 on row 23 you do. Object o = columnsAndRows.get("column_name3**23"); The nice thing about this is that there is only one HashMap involved instead of MANY, and no ArrayList is needed. Also note that as HashMap's get bigger they do not get slower.
