Re: Structures_DataGrid: Columns for fields missing in first record?

If you don't specify any column, we look into the first record to auto-detect the columns -- this was done for effiency reasons. The best solution would be to use addColumn() which also allows to give more meaningful column headers than just the array keys. > I did not find an option to change this behaviour; now I wonder if I > missed something, or if this should be subject to a feature request, or > if this kind of source structure is just not considered to be appropriate. It is appropriate, but looping through all records can be too expensive for large recordsets (just think of a not paged CSV output with 1 million records ...). Regards, Mark
