One approach that you could take is to parse the results from "describe table_name" (that statement is for Mysql but similar things can usually be done for other database engines) for the table selected in the List control. This really is fairly straight forward. You have isolated the table name that you are interested in... Great Execute a database query to get the field description for the table. Decide what action you wish to take for each field. For example, radio buttons for an enum field, hidden for a primary key and created by.
