Class JDBCParameterMetaData

    java.lang.Object
      org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCParameterMetaData

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ParameterMetaData, Wrapper

    public class JDBCParameterMetaData

extends Object
implements ParameterMetaData, Wrapper

An object that can be used to get information about the types and properties for each parameter marker in a `PreparedStatement` object. (JDBC4 Clarification:) For some queries and driver implementations, the data that would be returned by a `ParameterMetaData` object may not be available until the `PreparedStatement` has been executed.

Some driver implementations may not be able to provide information about the types and properties for each parameter marker in a `CallableStatement` object.

  Specified by:
    `getScale` in interface `ParameterMetaData`
  Parameters:
    `param` - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
  Returns:
    scale
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

    public int getParameterType(int param)
                         throws SQLException

  Since:
    JDK 1.4, HSQLDB 1.7.2

### getParameterMode

### unwrap

    public <T> T unwrap(Class<T> iface)
             throws SQLException

  Returns an object that implements the given interface to allow access to non-standard methods, or standard methods not exposed by the proxy. If the receiver implements the interface then the result is the receiver or a proxy for the receiver. If the receiver is a wrapper and the wrapped object implements the interface then the result is the wrapped object or a proxy for the wrapped object. Otherwise return the the result of calling `unwrap` recursively on the wrapped object or a proxy for that result. If the receiver is not a wrapper and does not implement the interface, then an `SQLException` is thrown.

  Specified by:
    `unwrap` in interface `Wrapper`
  Parameters:
    `iface` - A Class defining an interface that the result must implement.
  Returns:
    an object that implements the interface. May be a proxy for the actual implementing object.
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - If no object found that implements the interface
  Since:
    JDK 1.6, HSQLDB 2.0

### isWrapperFor

    public boolean isWrapperFor(Class<?> iface)
                         throws SQLException

  Returns true if this either implements the interface argument or is directly or indirectly a wrapper for an object that does. Returns false otherwise. If this implements the interface then return true, else if this is a wrapper then return the result of recursively calling `isWrapperFor` on the wrapped object. If this does not implement the interface and is not a wrapper, return false. This method should be implemented as a low-cost operation compared to `unwrap` so that callers can use this method to avoid expensive `unwrap` calls that may fail. If this method returns true then calling `unwrap` with the same argument should succeed.

  Specified by:
    `isWrapperFor` in interface `Wrapper`
  Parameters:
    `iface` - a Class defining an interface.
  Returns:
    true if this implements the interface or directly or indirectly wraps an object that does.
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if an error occurs while determining whether this is a wrapper for an object with the given interface.
  Since:
    JDK 1.6, HSQLDB 2.0

### toString

    public String toString()

  Retrieves a String repsentation of this object.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    a String repsentation of this object
