Class dbDescriptor

  +--vortex.dbDescriptor

public class dbDescriptor

extends java.lang.Object

RDBMS data descriptors. After a fetch() is performed all the output columns will be described in these objects. Use dbCursor.numOutputCols() and dbCursor.getColDesc() to access a dbDescriptor.

Because all numeric data is retrieved in the network independent dbNumber format precision and scale can be used to determine the original numeric type.
