I believe I understand.
Yes, I can query the data source for the column names.
So I can merely create each NSTableColumn accordingly.

I'm a little lost about mapping the new table columns to the source columns (beyond pre-defined iVars in a data model).
I sense I need to change the paradigm and use a NSArrayController or something like that.

Greetings:
I understand the basic method of populating a table, based on a model with a given (static/constant) number of iVars that are mapped to their respective columns of a pre-configured table structure.
But what about when you have a data source (a database table beyond Cocoa) with an unknown number of columns?


Where can I find some documentation/example out there that shows how to map an unknown/variable number of columns to a NSTableView?

Well, at some point you will know which columns you have, won't you?
You'll have to query your database about the column names and then set up the columns programmatically.


See the relevant sections of NSTableView, NSTableColumn and NSTableViewDataSource documentation for more information.
