Okay, now this is strange. My SQL in the java class  returns two
columns:

String SQLString = " SELECT f.faq_id, m.read_datetime " +
" FROM ckbshipping.faqs f, " + ...

When I change the index from 0 & 1 to "faq_id" and "read_datetime" it
still breaks with an invalid column  name. However, commenting out
the "faq_id" line and leaving the "read_datetime" still works.

I'm really confused now - If anyone can help this newbie, I'd be very
appreciative.
