Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Avoiding Whitespace before Table rotated with 'lscape'

[qbk]

Hello,
I have to create a rotated 90* table in a document. I've tried lscape but the problem is that it introduces a lot of whitespace before the table -- the rotated table is on a new page, but the next section in my document doesn't start right after the previous section, but only after this rotated page.

Here's an MWE:

Run LaTeX here

What I want to achieve is that section B starts immediately after section A, and rotated table is on a separate page.

I use LEd (MikTeX). The strange thing is that using two different compile methods, compile output in LEd is different, but finally PDF always has 3 pages:

LaTeX -> DVI (F9, says '3 pages') -> PDF (really 3 pages), using lscape (pdflscape produces compile error).
LaTeX -> PDF (PDFLaTex, F7) says 'Compile result: 2 pages' but PDF has 3 pages (using either lscape or pdflscape).

Regards and thanks in advance for your responses.

Okay, I found out the solution is to use \sidewaystable instead of \table and do not use \landscape.
