\placetable{Just an expample}{\scale[sx=2,sy=2]{\getbuffer[teste]}}
but this is not so handy (only factors, no fixed dimensions). So your
method is the best and easiest way to scale a table. This really makes
me smile.

depends on the kind of table, in many situations tabulate is better (more text
oriented);
in most xml flows there is just the html approach to tables, and catching all
in one kin dof table is impossible, if only because of typographical demands
(unless one is willing to configure each detail)

I was using \externalfigure because I saw that on the manual,
and because I wanted to scale down the table to the width of the
page. :)
Can I do that with a buffer/table withou using \externalfigure ?
I looked at the wiki and I should think about using
only natural tables as they seem to be much better... but
I'v had problems trying to get some multipage tables
to work...
Thanks,

This is what I call 'creative usage' of a feature :)
Better use \getbuffer for this.

Ok, I'v attached the example. It seems that If I use

[NTG-context] Changing page orientation - Landscape/Portrait
Hello, This might be a simple question but I didn't read anything about it on the wiki or on the mailing list archives. I would like to change the orientation of a page in a document, from landscape to portrait... Is there any command that will change the orientation of a single page ?
