Hi,
Apologies for what was probably an over-complex answer to your
question, given that it came down to something of a misunderstanding.

I actually created Columns in MoinMoin wiki for our
environment in which my
data is in the forms of rows and columns. Moinmoin wiki has the format where
I can specify the cells. This was pretty simple.
In a similar way I am trying to implement in Mediawiki. But I donot see any
options for creating the cells ( rows and columns). There are only few
options for formatting like "Bold" "interlink" "Heading"
etc....
I was thinking that I need to create the tables in Mysql and thanks for
clearing me out that MediaWiki uses Mysql only to store the data and not to
create...
Can you help me now how can i create columns
If I am now understanding your intention correctly, you are just
trying to create an article in which the content is formatted as a
table. This you can indeed do with MediaWiki - indeed, there are two
ways:
1) you can use the HTML markup for tables (<table>, <tr>, <td>, etc)
if you are already familiar with that.
2) there is a [hopefully] simpler markup built in to the software,
which looks something like:
{|
! Header 1 !! Header 2
|-
| cell 1 || cell 2
|-
| cell 3 || cell 4
|}
Obviously, it's a lot more flexible than that.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table *should* tell you everything
you need to know; hopefully [our documentation is rather patchy, I'm
afraid...]
