how do i set jdbTable caption or column header to be 
Different from dataset column names?
after this:
    jdbTabla.setDataSet(dmProja.getProjects());
    // dmProja is a DataModule



this does NOT work
    TableColumn c = jdbTabla.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
    c.setCaption("zzz");

This does NOT work
    TableColumn c = jdbTabla.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
    c.setHeaderValue( "aaa" );

This returns column count of zero;
    com.borland.dx.dataset.DataSet ds;
    ds = jdbTabla.getDataSet();  //
    int cod;
    if (ds != null) {
        cod = ds.getColumnCount();

you cant set caption with just a DataSet
you have to set up the columns
with this sort of code (After SetQuery)

    column1.setCaption("Project ID");
    column1.setColumnName("PROJECTID");
    column1.setDataType(com.borland.dx.dataset.Variant.STRING);
    column1.setPrecision(10);
    column1.setRowId(true);
    column1.setTableName("PROJECTS");
    column1.setServerColumnName("PROJECTID");
    column1.setSqlType(1);
    column2.setCaption("Project Description");
    column2.setColumnName("PROJECTDESC");
    column2.setDataType(com.borland.dx.dataset.Variant.STRING);
    column2.setPrecision(100);
    column2.setTableName("PROJECTS");
    column2.setServerColumnName("PROJECTDESC");
    column2.setSqlType(12);
    projects.setColumns(new Column[] {column1, column2});

note you CAN do this in the IDE, do DESIGN in DataModule
click on the Datamodule until columns appear, they have a caption property.
