  Have you followed the steps provided in the error link?
  http://datatables.net/tn/3

  If you are changing the number of columns then you need to use destroy() before reinitializing the Datatable.

  [SOLVED]
  before i click the button to execute the query
  i need this:
  // verify if #datatables_query exist if Y delete it
  if ($.fn.DataTable.isDataTable( '#datatables_query' ) ) {
  var tableId = "#datatables_query";
  // clear first
  $('#datatables_query').DataTable().clear();
  $('#datatables_query').DataTable().destroy();
  //2nd empty html
  $('#datatables_query' + " tbody").empty();
  $('#datatables_query'+ " thead").empty();

  }
  then i create new $('#datatables_query') with new columns and new data

  thanks

  just for the ages.... :-)

  1. btn to pass the sql query from textarea to function to create datatables

  $(document).on("click", "#esegui_qs", function () {
  var testo_qs = document.getElementById('campo_qs').value;

  console.log("text textarea : "+testo_qs);

  if ($.fn.DataTable.isDataTable( '#datatables_query' ) ) {
  var tableId = "#datatables_query";
  // clear first

  $('#datatables_query').DataTable().clear();
  $('#datatables_query').DataTable().destroy();
  //2nd empty html
  $('#datatables_query' + " tbody").empty();
  $('#datatables_query'+ " thead").empty();

  }

  crea_tabella_query(testo_qs);
  });

  you can obtain more columns that you can see in the datatables so add this option:

  scrollX: true,

  1.
  //html datatables definition in your page

       <table id="datatables_query" name="datatables_query" class="table table-striped table- 
       no-bordered table-hover" width="100%" style="width:100%">
       </table>
  

  1. btn to pass the sql query from textarea to function to create datatables

  $(document).on("click", "#esegui_qs", function () {
        //retrieve the text in textarea i.e. "select * from [database_name.database_table]"
        var testo_qs = document.getElementById('campo_qs').value;
        
       //check if a datatables with id 'datatables_query' exist , if Y dlete table and all data
       if ($.fn.DataTable.isDataTable( '#datatables_query' ) ) {
            var tableId = "#datatables_query";
        // this sequence is very important.        
        // clear first
           $('#datatables_query').DataTable().clear();
       //destroy
           $('#datatables_query').DataTable().destroy();
       //and then empty html
           $('#datatables_query' + " tbody").empty();
           $('#datatables_query'+ " thead").empty();
        }
        //launch the function to execute ajax request and create the datatable
         crea_tabella_query(testo_qs);
  });
  

  1. function to execute ajax request and create the datatable

  function crea_tabella_query(label) {
      var columns = [];
      $.ajax({
   // put your json file here
       url :"assets/ajax/estrai_dati.php?testo_qs="+label,
        success: function (data) {
          data = JSON.parse(data);
          columnNames = Object.keys(data.data[0]);
          for (var i in columnNames) {
            columns.push({data: columnNames[i], 
                      title: capitalizeFirstLetter(columnNames[i])});
          }
          $('#datatables_query').DataTable( {
          dom: 'Blfrtip',
          buttons: ['copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print'],

                              next:       "Successiva",
                              previous:   "Precedente"
                            },
              }
          } );
        }
      });
  }
     
  function capitalizeFirstLetter(string) {
      return string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.slice(1);
  }
  

  hope it's useful for someone..
