It is necessary to add columns object.

By IDE: right click on DBGrid, columns editor then "Add all fields..." By runtime: you must create a Column objects.

This is a small example:

var vColumn: TColumn;
begin
  vColumn := DBGrid1.Columns.Add;
  // Now you can assign the right properties
  vColumn.Field := yourfield
  vColumn.Width := yourwidth
