Hello Michael,

thanks for the detailed information.
But is that really true? Seems for me (I come from C++) very complicated to 
properly display data using JAVA.
I cannot catch the point what the advantage of KTable should be. For me it 
looks like the same if I develop the code to rtrieve records from db within 
the SetData trigger of the virtual table or if I develop the ContentPovider 
for the KTable, where is the difference?

I cannot believe that there is no standard way respectively a code snippet 
which shows virtual (SWT) tables and a connection to a MySQL database. I 
cannot be the only one who has this problem.
The idea with the cache for the 25 records I try now to implement using the 
SetData trigger. What is the right way to store the cache table data? Should 
I use a vector, or should I prefer a 2nd (unvisible) Table and TableItems 
where I cache the data, and if needed in the visible table, copy from the 
invisible table to the visible one?

Thanks for further ideas/suggestions!
