Wrapper
```
public interface DatabaseMetaData
extends Wrapper
```
Comprehensive information about the database as a whole.
This interface is implemented by driver vendors to let users know the capabilities of a Database Management System (DBMS) in combination with the driver based on JDBC^TM technology ("JDBC driver") that is used with it. Different relational DBMSs often support different features, implement features in different ways, and use different data types. In addition, a driver may implement a feature on top of what the DBMS offers. Information returned by methods in this interface applies to the capabilities of a particular driver and a particular DBMS working together. Note that as used in this documentation, the term "database" is used generically to refer to both the driver and DBMS.
A user for this interface is commonly a tool that needs to discover how to deal with the underlying DBMS. This is especially true for applications that are intended to be used with more than one DBMS. For example, a tool might use the method getTypeInfo to find out what data types can be used in a CREATE TABLE statement. Or a user might call the method supportsCorrelatedSubqueries to see if it is possible to use a correlated subquery or supportsBatchUpdates to see if it is possible to use batch updates.
Some DatabaseMetaData methods return lists of information in the form of ResultSet objects. Regular ResultSet methods, such as getString and getInt, can be used to retrieve the data from these ResultSet objects. If a given form of metadata is not available, an empty ResultSet will be returned. Additional columns beyond the columns defined to be returned by the ResultSet object for a given method can be defined by the JDBC driver vendor and must be accessed by their column label.
Some DatabaseMetaData methods take arguments that are String patterns. These arguments all have names such as fooPattern. Within a pattern String, "%" means match any substring of 0 or more characters, and "_" means match any one character. Only metadata entries matching the search pattern are returned. If a search pattern argument is set to null, that argument's criterion will be dropped from the search.

    18. ORDINAL_POSITION int => the ordinal position, starting from 1, for the input and output parameters for a procedure. A value of 0 is returned if this row describes the procedure's return value. For result set columns, it is the ordinal position of the column in the result set starting from 1. If there are multiple result sets, the column ordinal positions are implementation defined.
    19. IS_NULLABLE String => ISO rules are used to determine the nullability for a column.
      
      YES --- if the column can include NULLs
      NO --- if the column cannot include NULLs
      empty string --- if the nullability for the column is unknown
    20. SPECIFIC_NAME String => the name which uniquely identifies this procedure within its schema.
    Note: Some databases may not return the column descriptions for a procedure.
    The PRECISION column represents the specified column size for the given column. For numeric data, this is the maximum precision. For character data, this is the length in characters. For datetime datatypes, this is the length in characters of the String representation (assuming the maximum allowed precision of the fractional seconds component). For binary data, this is the length in bytes. For the ROWID datatype, this is the length in bytes. Null is returned for data types where the column size is not applicable.

If the database supports SQL structured types, then getTypeInfo() will return a single row with a TYPE_NAME of STRUCT and a DATA_TYPE of Types.STRUCT.
    If SQL distinct or structured types are supported, then information on the individual types may be obtained from the getUDTs() method.
    Each type description has the following columns:
    1. TYPE_NAME String => Type name
    2. DATA_TYPE int => SQL data type from java.sql.Types
    3. PRECISION int => maximum precision
    4. LITERAL_PREFIX String => prefix used to quote a literal (may be null)
    5. LITERAL_SUFFIX String => suffix used to quote a literal (may be null)
    6. CREATE_PARAMS String => parameters used in creating the type (may be null)
    7. NULLABLE short => can you use NULL for this type.
      
      typeNoNulls - does not allow NULL values
      typeNullable - allows NULL values
      typeNullableUnknown - nullability unknown
    8. CASE_SENSITIVE boolean=> is it case sensitive.
    9. SEARCHABLE short => can you use "WHERE" based on this type:
      
      typePredNone - No support
      typePredChar - Only supported with WHERE .. LIKE
      typePredBasic - Supported except for WHERE .. LIKE
      typeSearchable - Supported for all WHERE ..
    10. UNSIGNED_ATTRIBUTE boolean => is it unsigned.
    11. FIXED_PREC_SCALE boolean => can it be a money value.
    12. AUTO_INCREMENT boolean => can it be used for an auto-increment value.
    13. LOCAL_TYPE_NAME String => localized version of type name (may be null)
    14. MINIMUM_SCALE short => minimum scale supported
    15. MAXIMUM_SCALE short => maximum scale supported
    16. SQL_DATA_TYPE int => unused
    17. SQL_DATETIME_SUB int => unused
    18. NUM_PREC_RADIX int => usually 2 or 10
    The PRECISION column represents the maximum column size that the server supports for the given datatype. For numeric data, this is the maximum precision. For character data, this is the length in characters. For datetime datatypes, this is the length in characters of the String representation (assuming the maximum allowed precision of the fractional seconds component). For binary data, this is the length in bytes. For the ROWID datatype, this is the length in bytes. Null is returned for data types where the column size is not applicable.

    holdability - one of the following constants: ResultSet.HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT or ResultSet.CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT
    Returns: true if so; false otherwise Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.4 See Also: Connection
  getResultSetHoldability int getResultSetHoldability() throws SQLException Retrieves this database's default holdability for ResultSet objects. Returns: the default holdability; either ResultSet.HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT or ResultSet.CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.4 getDatabaseMajorVersion int getDatabaseMajorVersion() throws SQLException Retrieves the major version number of the underlying database. Returns: the underlying database's major version Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.4 getDatabaseMinorVersion int getDatabaseMinorVersion() throws SQLException Retrieves the minor version number of the underlying database. Returns: underlying database's minor version Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.4 getJDBCMajorVersion int getJDBCMajorVersion() throws SQLException Retrieves the major JDBC version number for this driver. Returns: JDBC version major number Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.4 getJDBCMinorVersion int getJDBCMinorVersion() throws SQLException Retrieves the minor JDBC version number for this driver. Returns: JDBC version minor number Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.4 getSQLStateType int getSQLStateType() throws SQLException Indicates whether the SQLSTATE returned by SQLException.getSQLState is X/Open (now known as Open Group) SQL CLI or SQL:2003. Returns: the type of SQLSTATE; one of: sqlStateXOpen or sqlStateSQL Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.4 locatorsUpdateCopy boolean locatorsUpdateCopy() throws SQLException Indicates whether updates made to a LOB are made on a copy or directly to the LOB. Returns: true if updates are made to a copy of the LOB; false if updates are made directly to the LOB Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.4 supportsStatementPooling boolean supportsStatementPooling() throws SQLException Retrieves whether this database supports statement pooling. Returns: true if so; false otherwise Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.4 getRowIdLifetime RowIdLifetime getRowIdLifetime() throws SQLException Indicates whether or not this data source supports the SQL ROWID type, and if so the lifetime for which a RowId object remains valid. The returned int values have the following relationship: ROWID_UNSUPPORTED < ROWID_VALID_OTHER < ROWID_VALID_TRANSACTION < ROWID_VALID_SESSION < ROWID_VALID_FOREVER so conditional logic such as if (metadata.getRowIdLifetime() > DatabaseMetaData.ROWID_VALID_TRANSACTION) can be used. Valid Forever means valid across all Sessions, and valid for a Session means valid across all its contained Transactions. Returns: the status indicating the lifetime of a RowId Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.6 getSchemas ResultSet getSchemas(String catalog, String schemaPattern) throws SQLException Retrieves the schema names available in this database. The results are ordered by TABLE_CATALOG and TABLE_SCHEM. The schema columns are: TABLE_SCHEM String => schema name TABLE_CATALOG String => catalog name (may be null) Parameters: catalog - a catalog name; must match the catalog name as it is stored in the database;"" retrieves those without a catalog; null means catalog name should not be used to narrow down the search. schemaPattern - a schema name; must match the schema name as it is stored in the database; null means schema name should not be used to narrow down the search. Returns: a ResultSet object in which each row is a schema description Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.6 See Also: getSearchStringEscape() supportsStoredFunctionsUsingCallSyntax boolean supportsStoredFunctionsUsingCallSyntax() throws SQLException Retrieves whether this database supports invoking user-defined or vendor functions using the stored procedure escape syntax. Returns: true if so; false otherwise Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.6 autoCommitFailureClosesAllResultSets boolean autoCommitFailureClosesAllResultSets() throws SQLException Retrieves whether a SQLException while autoCommit is true inidcates that all open ResultSets are closed, even ones that are holdable. When a SQLException occurs while autocommit is true, it is vendor specific whether the JDBC driver responds with a commit operation, a rollback operation, or by doing neither a commit nor a rollback. A potential result of this difference is in whether or not holdable ResultSets are closed. Returns: true if so; false otherwise Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.6 getClientInfoProperties ResultSet getClientInfoProperties() throws SQLException Retrieves a list of the client info properties that the driver supports. The result set contains the following columns NAME String=> The name of the client info property MAX_LEN int=> The maximum length of the value for the property DEFAULT_VALUE String=> The default value of the property DESCRIPTION String=> A description of the property. This will typically contain information as to where this property is stored in the database. The ResultSet is sorted by the NAME column Returns: A ResultSet object; each row is a supported client info property Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.6 getFunctions ResultSet getFunctions(String catalog, String schemaPattern, String functionNamePattern) throws SQLException Retrieves a description of the system and user functions available in the given catalog. Only system and user function descriptions matching the schema and function name criteria are returned. They are ordered by FUNCTION_CAT, FUNCTION_SCHEM, FUNCTION_NAME and SPECIFIC_ NAME. Each function description has the the following columns: FUNCTION_CAT String => function catalog (may be null) FUNCTION_SCHEM String => function schema (may be null) FUNCTION_NAME String => function name. This is the name used to invoke the function REMARKS String => explanatory comment on the function FUNCTION_TYPE short => kind of function: functionResultUnknown - Cannot determine if a return value or table will be returned functionNoTable- Does not return a table functionReturnsTable - Returns a table SPECIFIC_NAME String => the name which uniquely identifies this function within its schema. This is a user specified, or DBMS generated, name that may be different then the FUNCTION_NAME for example with overload functions A user may not have permission to execute any of the functions that are returned by getFunctions Parameters: catalog - a catalog name; must match the catalog name as it is stored in the database; "" retrieves those without a catalog; null means that the catalog name should not be used to narrow the search schemaPattern - a schema name pattern; must match the schema name as it is stored in the database; "" retrieves those without a schema; null means that the schema name should not be used to narrow the search functionNamePattern - a function name pattern; must match the function name as it is stored in the database Returns: ResultSet - each row is a function description Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.6 See Also: getSearchStringEscape() getFunctionColumns ResultSet getFunctionColumns(String catalog, String schemaPattern, String functionNamePattern, String columnNamePattern) throws SQLException Retrieves a description of the given catalog's system or user function parameters and return type. Only descriptions matching the schema, function and parameter name criteria are returned. They are ordered by FUNCTION_CAT, FUNCTION_SCHEM, FUNCTION_NAME and SPECIFIC_ NAME. Within this, the return value, if any, is first. Next are the parameter descriptions in call order. The column descriptions follow in column number order. Each row in the ResultSet is a parameter description, column description or return type description with the following fields: FUNCTION_CAT String => function catalog (may be null) FUNCTION_SCHEM String => function schema (may be null) FUNCTION_NAME String => function name. This is the name used to invoke the function COLUMN_NAME String => column/parameter name COLUMN_TYPE Short => kind of column/parameter: functionColumnUnknown - nobody knows functionColumnIn - IN parameter functionColumnInOut - INOUT parameter functionColumnOut - OUT parameter functionColumnReturn - function return value functionColumnResult - Indicates that the parameter or column is a column in the ResultSet DATA_TYPE int => SQL type from java.sql.Types TYPE_NAME String => SQL type name, for a UDT type the type name is fully qualified PRECISION int => precision LENGTH int => length in bytes of data SCALE short => scale - null is returned for data types where SCALE is not applicable. RADIX short => radix NULLABLE short => can it contain NULL. functionNoNulls - does not allow NULL values functionNullable - allows NULL values functionNullableUnknown - nullability unknown REMARKS String => comment describing column/parameter CHAR_OCTET_LENGTH int => the maximum length of binary and character based parameters or columns. For any other datatype the returned value is a NULL ORDINAL_POSITION int => the ordinal position, starting from 1, for the input and output parameters. A value of 0 is returned if this row describes the function's return value. For result set columns, it is the ordinal position of the column in the result set starting from 1. IS_NULLABLE String => ISO rules are used to determine the nullability for a parameter or column. YES --- if the parameter or column can include NULLs NO --- if the parameter or column cannot include NULLs empty string --- if the nullability for the parameter or column is unknown SPECIFIC_NAME String => the name which uniquely identifies this function within its schema. This is a user specified, or DBMS generated, name that may be different then the FUNCTION_NAME for example with overload functions The PRECISION column represents the specified column size for the given parameter or column. For numeric data, this is the maximum precision. For character data, this is the length in characters. For datetime datatypes, this is the length in characters of the String representation (assuming the maximum allowed precision of the fractional seconds component). For binary data, this is the length in bytes. For the ROWID datatype, this is the length in bytes. Null is returned for data types where the column size is not applicable. Parameters: catalog - a catalog name; must match the catalog name as it is stored in the database; "" retrieves those without a catalog; null means that the catalog name should not be used to narrow the search schemaPattern - a schema name pattern; must match the schema name as it is stored in the database; "" retrieves those without a schema; null means that the schema name should not be used to narrow the search functionNamePattern - a procedure name pattern; must match the function name as it is stored in the database columnNamePattern - a parameter name pattern; must match the parameter or column name as it is stored in the database Returns: ResultSet - each row describes a user function parameter, column or return type Throws: SQLException - if a database access error occurs Since: 1.6 See Also: getSearchStringEscape() getPseudoColumns ResultSet getPseudoColumns(String catalog, String schemaPattern, String tableNamePattern, String columnNamePattern) throws SQLException Retrieves a description of the pseudo or hidden columns available in a given table within the specified catalog and schema. Pseudo or hidden columns may not always be stored within a table and are not visible in a ResultSet unless they are specified in the query's outermost SELECT list. Pseudo or hidden columns may not necessarily be able to be modified. If there are no pseudo or hidden columns, an empty ResultSet is returned. Only column descriptions matching the catalog, schema, table and column name criteria are returned. They are ordered by TABLE_CAT,TABLE_SCHEM, TABLE_NAME and COLUMN_NAME. Each column description has the following columns: TABLE_CAT String => table catalog (may be null) TABLE_SCHEM String => table schema (may be null) TABLE_NAME String => table name COLUMN_NAME String => column name DATA_TYPE int => SQL type from java.sql.Types COLUMN_SIZE int => column size. DECIMAL_DIGITS int => the number of fractional digits. Null is returned for data types where DECIMAL_DIGITS is not applicable.

The value returned will correspond to the enum name returned by PseudoColumnUsage.name() REMARKS String => comment describing column (may be null) CHAR_OCTET_LENGTH int => for char types the maximum number of bytes in the column IS_NULLABLE String => ISO rules are used to determine the nullability for a column. YES --- if the column can include NULLs NO --- if the column cannot include NULLs empty string --- if the nullability for the column is unknown The COLUMN_SIZE column specifies the column size for the given column. For numeric data, this is the maximum precision. For character data, this is the length in characters. For datetime datatypes, this is the length in characters of the String representation (assuming the maximum allowed precision of the fractional seconds component). For binary data, this is the length in bytes. For the ROWID datatype, this is the length in bytes. Null is returned for data types where the column size is not applicable.
