Methods Summary
public java.lang.String	getParameterClassName(int param) Retrieves the fully-qualified name of the Java class whose instances should be passed to the method PreparedStatement.setObject. param param the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ... return 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. exception SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.4
public int	getParameterCount() Retrieves the number of parameters in the PreparedStatement object for which this ParameterMetaData object contains information. return the number of parameters exception SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.4
public int	getParameterMode(int param) Retrieves the designated parameter's mode. param param the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ... return mode of the parameter; one of ParameterMetaData.parameterModeIn, ParameterMetaData.parameterModeOut, or ParameterMetaData.parameterModeInOut ParameterMetaData.parameterModeUnknown. exception SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.4
public int	getParameterType(int param) Retrieves the designated parameter's SQL type. param param the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ... return SQL type from java.sql.Types exception SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.4 see Types
public java.lang.String	getParameterTypeName(int param) Retrieves the designated parameter's database-specific type name. param param the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ... return type the name used by the database. If the parameter type is a user-defined type, then a fully-qualified type name is returned. exception SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.4
public int	getPrecision(int param) Retrieves the designated parameter's number of decimal digits. param param the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ... return precision exception SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.4
public int	getScale(int param) Retrieves the designated parameter's number of digits to right of the decimal point. param param the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ... return scale exception SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.4
public int	isNullable(int param) Retrieves whether null values are allowed in the designated parameter. param param the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ... return the nullability status of the given parameter; one of ParameterMetaData.parameterNoNulls, ParameterMetaData.parameterNullable, or ParameterMetaData.parameterNullableUnknown exception SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.4
public boolean	isSigned(int param) Retrieves whether values for the designated parameter can be signed numbers. param param the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ... return true if so; false otherwise exception SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.4
