                                 throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves a description of the user-defined type (UDT) hierarchies defined in a particular schema in this database. Only the immediate super type/ sub type relationship is modeled. Only supertype information for UDTs matching the catalog, schema, and type name is returned. The type name parameter may be a fully-qualified name. When the UDT name supplied is a fully-qualified name, the catalog and schemaPattern parameters are ignored. If a UDT does not have a direct super type, it is not listed here. A row of the ResultSet object returned by this method describes the designated UDT and a direct supertype. A row has the following columns: 1. TYPE_CAT String => the UDT's catalog (may be null) 2. TYPE_SCHEM String => UDT's schema (may be null) 3. TYPE_NAME String => type name of the UDT 4. SUPERTYPE_CAT String => the direct super type's catalog (may be null) 5. SUPERTYPE_SCHEM String => the direct super type's schema (may be null) 6. SUPERTYPE_NAME String => the direct super type's name Note: If the driver does not support type hierarchies, an empty result set is returned.

                                  throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves a description of the table hierarchies defined in a particular schema in this database. Only supertable information for tables matching the catalog, schema and table name are returned. The table name parameter may be a fully- qualified name, in which case, the catalog and schemaPattern parameters are ignored. If a table does not have a super table, it is not listed here. Supertables have to be defined in the same catalog and schema as the sub tables. Therefore, the type description does not need to include this information for the supertable. Each type description has the following columns: 1. TABLE_CAT String => the type's catalog (may be null) 2. TABLE_SCHEM String => type's schema (may be null) 3. TABLE_NAME String => type name 4. SUPERTABLE_NAME String => the direct super type's name Note: If the driver does not support type hierarchies, an empty result set is returned.

getIndexInfo

public java.sql.ResultSet getIndexInfo(java.lang.String catalog,
                                       java.lang.String schema,
                                       java.lang.String table,

                                throws java.sql.SQLException
Supported for GENESIS

Get a description of a table's indices and statistics. They are ordered by NON_UNIQUE, TYPE, INDEX_NAME, and ORDINAL_POSITION.

Each index column description has the following columns:

  1. TABLE_CAT String => table catalog (may be null)
  2. TABLE_SCHEM String => table schema (may be null)
  3. TABLE_NAME String => table name
  4. NON_UNIQUE boolean => Can index values be non-unique? false when TYPE is tableIndexStatistic
  5. INDEX_QUALIFIER String => index catalog (may be null); null when TYPE is tableIndexStatistic
  6. INDEX_NAME String => index name; null when TYPE is tableIndexStatistic
  7. TYPE short => index type:
    • tableIndexStatistic - this identifies table statistics that are returned in conjuction with a table's index descriptions
    • tableIndexClustered - this is a clustered index
    • tableIndexHashed - this is a hashed index
    • tableIndexOther - this is some other style of index
  8. ORDINAL_POSITION short => column sequence number within index; zero when TYPE is tableIndexStatistic
  9. COLUMN_NAME String => column name; null when TYPE is tableIndexStatistic
  10. ASC_OR_DESC String => column sort sequence, "A" => ascending, "D" => descending, may be null if sort sequence is not supported; null when TYPE is tableIndexStatistic
  11. CARDINALITY int => When TYPE is tableIndexStatisic then this is the number of rows in the table; otherwise it is the number of unique values in the index.
  12. PAGES int => When TYPE is tableIndexStatisic then this is the number of pages used for the table, otherwise it is the number of pages used for the current index.
  13. FILTER_CONDITION String => Filter condition, if any. (may be null)
