 public interface ParameterMetaData extends Wrapper An object that can be used to get information about the types and properties for each parameter marker in aPreparedStatementobject. For some queries and driver implementations, the data that would be returned by aParameterMetaDataobject may not be available until thePreparedStatementhas been executed.Some driver implementations may not be able to provide information about the types and properties for each parameter marker in a CallableStatementobject.- Since:

Method Detail- 
getParameterCountint getParameterCount() throws SQLExceptionRetrieves the number of parameters in thePreparedStatementobject for which thisParameterMetaDataobject contains information.- Returns:
- the number of parameters
- Throws:
- SQLException- if a database access error occurs
- Since:
- 1.4
 
 - 
isNullableint isNullable(int param) throws SQLExceptionRetrieves 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, orParameterMetaData.parameterNullableUnknown
- Throws:
- SQLException- if a database access error occurs
- Since:
- 1.4
 
 - 
isSignedboolean isSigned(int param) throws SQLExceptionRetrieves whether values for the designated parameter can be signed numbers.- Parameters:
- param- the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
- Returns:
- trueif so;- falseotherwise
- Throws:
- SQLException- if a database access error occurs
- Since:
- 1.4
 
 - 
getPrecisionint getPrecision(int param) throws SQLExceptionRetrieves 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
 
 - 
getScaleint getScale(int param) throws SQLExceptionRetrieves 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
 
 - 
getParameterTypeint getParameterType(int param) throws SQLExceptionRetrieves 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
- See Also:
- Types
 
 - 
getParameterTypeNameString 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
 
 - 
getParameterClassNameString getParameterClassName(int param) throws SQLException Retrieves the fully-qualified name of the Java class whose instances should be passed to the methodPreparedStatement.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.setObjectto 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
 
 - 
getParameterModeint getParameterMode(int param) throws SQLExceptionRetrieves the designated parameter's mode.- Parameters:
- param- the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
- Returns:
- mode of the parameter; one of
        ParameterMetaData.parameterModeIn,ParameterMetaData.parameterModeOut, orParameterMetaData.parameterModeInOutParameterMetaData.parameterModeUnknown.
- Throws:
- SQLException- if a database access error occurs
- Since:
- 1.4
