Method Detail

• getParameterCount

  int getParameterCount()
                        throws SQLException

  Retrieves the number of parameters in the PreparedStatement object for which this ParameterMetaData object contains information.

  Returns:

  the number of parameters

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

  Since:

  1.4

• isNullable

  int isNullable(int param)
                 throws SQLException

  Retrieves whether null values are allowed in the designated parameter.

  Parameters:

  param - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...

  Returns:

  the nullability status of the given parameter; one of ParameterMetaData.parameterNoNulls, ParameterMetaData.parameterNullable, or ParameterMetaData.parameterNullableUnknown

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

  Since:

  1.4

• isSigned

  boolean isSigned(int param)
                   throws SQLException

  Retrieves whether values for the designated parameter can be signed numbers.

  Parameters:

  param - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...

  Returns:

  true if so; false otherwise

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

  Since:

  1.4

• getPrecision

  int getPrecision(int param)
                   throws SQLException

  Retrieves the designated parameter's specified column size.

  The returned value represents the maximum column size for the given parameter. 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. 0 is returned for data types where the column size is not applicable.

  Parameters:

  param - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...

  Returns:

  precision

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

  Since:

  1.4

• getScale

  int getScale(int param)
               throws SQLException

  Retrieves the designated parameter's number of digits to right of the decimal point. 0 is returned for data types where the scale is not applicable.

  Parameters:

  param - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...

  Returns:

  scale

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

  Since:

  1.4

• getParameterType

  int getParameterType(int param)
                       throws SQLException

  Retrieves the designated parameter's SQL type.

  Parameters:

  param - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...

  Returns:

  SQL type from java.sql.Types

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

  Since:

  1.4

  Types

• getParameterTypeName

  String getParameterTypeName(int param)
                              throws SQLException

  Retrieves the designated parameter's database-specific type name.

  Parameters:

  param - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...

  Returns:

  type the name used by the database. If the parameter type is a user-defined type, then a fully-qualified type name is returned.

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

  Since:

  1.4

• getParameterClassName

  String getParameterClassName(int param)
                               throws SQLException

  Retrieves the fully-qualified name of the Java class whose instances should be passed to the method PreparedStatement.setObject.

  Parameters:

  param - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...

  Returns:

  the fully-qualified name of the class in the Java programming language that would be used by the method PreparedStatement.setObject to set the value in the specified parameter. This is the class name used for custom mapping.

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

  Since:

  1.4

• getParameterMode

  int getParameterMode(int param)
                       throws SQLException

  Retrieves the designated parameter's mode.

  Parameters:

  Returns:

  mode of the parameter; one of ParameterMetaData.parameterModeIn, ParameterMetaData.parameterModeOut, or ParameterMetaData.parameterModeInOut ParameterMetaData.parameterModeUnknown.

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

  Since:
