counting columns

hi!

I want different users to insert data and perform different analysis which
will be inserted in an interactively created new column. The name of this
new column should follow a logic name such as: fxanalysis_1 for the first
user that perform the analysis called fx, fxanalysis_2 for the second...
To get it, I think I should construct a function that counts how many
columns have their name starting with fxanalysis.
If count >=1, then alter table adding a new column with name fxanalysis_2
and so on...
One of the questions: how to COUNT COLUMNS? I can rename, add, alter
columns... but count?

Thanks in advance,
Pere
