>>Is it possible to add a column/field to a cursor created with Cursor Adapter? I tried ALTER TABLE and it does not work. And as far as adding a column I don't need the base table to be updated when entry in this column is set or changed. Basically this "extra" column won't have a corresponding field in the base table and I need it only to hold data for the UI tier. Before I try a different approach I thought I would ask to see if it can be done with cursor adapter. TIA.

I know that I can include the column in the query. But my CA cursor is created by a BIZ object that relies on a meta table of all "real" fields in the base table. And I don't want to change or break the BIZ class code. Just in this particular case I need to have an additional field in the cursor. From your message I get it that it is not possible once the cursor is created. So I suppose I will have to change the approach of what I am trying to do. Thank you.
