          got the solution and will get the colnames using the below query.



          dbGetQuery(con,"SELECT column_name
          + FROM information_schema.columns
          + WHERE table_schema = 'your schema'
          + AND table_name = 'table name'") ##ORDER BY ordinal_position; to orderby


          sample query :



          dbGetQuery(con,"SELECT column_name, data_type
          + FROM information_schema.columns
          + WHERE table_name = 'data 1'
          + ORDER BY ordinal_position")


          Both query's are working good.
