  Have a look at the row.add() and rows.add() methods which can be used to dynamically add rows to the table.

  Hi Allan
  Thanks for your answer. However I have read a lot and discover other way doing this. Here is my revised code...After assigning json data my datatable becomes empty rows. All rows are exact # of rows before any operation to datatable but columns are not displaying data.

  <script>
      var oTable;
  //json data
  [{
  "id": "58",
  "country_code": "UK",
  "title": "Legal Director",
  "pubdate": "2012-03-08 00:00:00",
  "url": "http://..."
  },{
  "id": "59",
  "country_code": "UK",
  "title": "Solutions Architect,",
  "pubdate": "2012-02-23 00:00:00",
  "url": "http://..."
  },{
  // ....more of the same......
  }]
  
  //initialization goes here
  $(document).ready(function() {
   
  if ($('#data-table').length !== 0) {
                  oTable =  $('#data-table').DataTable({ responsive: true }); 
               }
  
  } );
  
  //after DB operation assign json data to table by calling this function
  
  function fillTheDataTable(dataTableId,data)
  {
  dataTableId = "#"+dataTableId;
  console.log(data);
  function fillTheDataTable(data)
  {
   
  console.log(data);
   oTable.clear().draw();
   oTable.rows.add(data).draw();
  }
  </script>
  

  There is error also i am getting you might want to see.

  DataTables warning:table id=data-table - Requested unknown parameter '0' for row 0. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/4

  Please advise.

  Thanks!

  Have you configured DataTables to expect objects using the columns.data option? I'm guessing not from that error.

  I'd really need a link to the page showing the issue to understand further though.

  There you go. That was the issue. I have done that and it worked. Thanks Allan.
