Adding and removing columns to a MibTable object dynamically

[Simpson, Gary]

Hello,

I am developing an SNMP agent that dynamically implements SNMP variables
defined in shared memory from other applications.  Because of this it is
possible that columns will be added and removed to the MIB tables through
the life of the table.  Is it possible to use the
'MibTable::add_col(MibLeaf*)' and 'MibTableRow::remove(int)' methods to do
this (the remove method on the generator row of the table).

I understand that I may have to clear the table of all values before doing
this but this is not a problem as I was thinking of clearing the table and
then adding the values after the table structure has changed.  If I can't do
this then another option is to remove the MibTable whenever the structure
changes and to recreate it.  Is this a safer method of doing this?

Thanks for your help,
Gary.
