SUMMARY: NESTED | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
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 JDBCTM 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, the ResultSet
getter methods throw an SQLException
.
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.
A method that gets information about a feature that the driver does not
support will throw an SQLException
.
In the case of methods that return a ResultSet
object, either a ResultSet
object (which may be empty) is
returned or an SQLException
is thrown.
