Class MVADatabaseMetaData

java.lang.Object
com.sas.rio.MVADatabaseMetaData
All Implemented Interfaces:
DatabaseMetaData, Wrapper
@SASScope("ALL") @NeedsAPIReview public class MVADatabaseMetaData extends Object implements DatabaseMetaData
This class provides information about the database as a whole.

Many of the methods here return lists of information in ResultSets. You can use the normal ResultSet methods such as getString and getInt to retrieve the data from these ResultSets. If a given form of metadata is not available, these methods should throw a SQLException.

Some of these 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 a null ref, it means that argument's criteria should be dropped from the search.

A SQLException will be thrown if a driver does not support a meta data method. In the case of methods that return a ResultSet, either a ResultSet (which may be empty) is returned or a SQLException is thrown.

      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.

      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
