                                       java.lang.String functionNamePattern)
                                throws java.sql.SQLException
This method is not supported.

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:

  1. FUNCTION_CAT String => function catalog (may be null)
  2. FUNCTION_SCHEM String => function schema (may be null)
  3. FUNCTION_NAME String => function name. This is the name used to invoke the function
  4. REMARKS String => explanatory comment on the function
  5. 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
  6. 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

Specified by:
getFunctions in interface java.sql.DatabaseMetaData
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

Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - Always thrown, to indicate that this method is not implemented.

1.6

getFunctionColumns

public java.sql.ResultSet getFunctionColumns(java.lang.String catalog,
                                             java.lang.String schemaPattern,
                                             java.lang.String functionNamePattern,
                                             java.lang.String columnNamePattern)
                                      throws java.sql.SQLException
This method is not supported.

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:

  1. FUNCTION_CAT String => function catalog (may be null)
  2. FUNCTION_SCHEM String => function schema (may be null)
  3. FUNCTION_NAME String => function name. This is the name used to invoke the function
  4. COLUMN_NAME String => column/parameter name
  5. 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
  6. DATA_TYPE int => SQL type from java.sql.Types
  7. TYPE_NAME String => SQL type name, for a UDT type the type name is fully qualified
  8. PRECISION int => precision
  9. LENGTH int => length in bytes of data
  10. SCALE short => scale - null is returned for data types where SCALE is not applicable.
  11. RADIX short => radix
  12. NULLABLE short => can it contain NULL.
    • functionNoNulls - does not allow NULL values
    • functionNullable - allows NULL values
    • functionNullableUnknown - nullability unknown
  13. REMARKS String => comment describing column/parameter
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. 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.

Specified by:
getFunctionColumns in interface java.sql.DatabaseMetaData
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

Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - Always thrown, to indicate that this method is not implemented.

unwrap

public <T> T unwrap(java.lang.Class<T> iface)
         throws java.sql.SQLException
This method is not supported.

Returns an object that implements the given interface to allow access to non-standard methods, or standard methods not exposed by the proxy. If the receiver implements the interface then the result is the receiver or a proxy for the receiver. If the receiver is a wrapper and the wrapped object implements the interface then the result is the wrapped object or a proxy for the wrapped object. Otherwise return the the result of calling unwrap recursively on the wrapped object or a proxy for that result. If the receiver is not a wrapper and does not implement the interface, then an SQLException is thrown.

Specified by:
unwrap in interface java.sql.Wrapper
Parameters:
iface - A Class defining an interface that the result must implement.

Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - Always thrown, to indicate that this method is not implemented.

Since:
1.6

isWrapperFor

public boolean isWrapperFor(java.lang.Class<?> iface)
                     throws java.sql.SQLException
This method is not supported.

Returns true if this either implements the interface argument or is directly or indirectly a wrapper for an object that does. Returns false otherwise. If this implements the interface then return true, else if this is a wrapper then return the result of recursively calling isWrapperFor on the wrapped object. If this does not implement the interface and is not a wrapper, return false. This method should be implemented as a low-cost operation compared to unwrap so that callers can use this method to avoid expensive unwrap calls that may fail. If this method returns true then calling unwrap with the same argument should succeed.

Specified by:
isWrapperFor in interface java.sql.Wrapper
Parameters:
iface - a Class defining an interface.

Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - Always thrown, to indicate that this method is not implemented.

Since:
1.6
