Re: [Squirrel-sql-develop] "Date" field display options?

please get the latest version from cvs and look at the new IDataSetViewer class
I think that class should get a setCellRenderer(int column (or type??), IRenderer renderer)

then look at the implementations of IDataSetViewer to let them work with that renderer
(table should use it inside the CellRenderer of its own)
