interface DatabaseMetaData : Wrapper

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [java.sql.DatabaseMetaData](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData#) |
Comprehensive information about the database as a whole.
This interface is implemented by driver vendors to let users know the capabilities of a Database Management System (DBMS) in combination with the driver based on JDBCTM technology ("JDBC driver") that is used with it. Different relational DBMSs often support different features, implement features in different ways, and use different data types. In addition, a driver may implement a feature on top of what the DBMS offers. Information returned by methods in this interface applies to the capabilities of a particular driver and a particular DBMS working together. Note that as used in this documentation, the term "database" is used generically to refer to both the driver and DBMS.
A user for this interface is commonly a tool that needs to discover how to deal with the underlying DBMS. This is especially true for applications that are intended to be used with more than one DBMS. For example, a tool might use the method`getTypeInfo`to find out what data types can be used in a`CREATE TABLE`statement. Or a user might call the method`supportsCorrelatedSubqueries`to see if it is possible to use a correlated subquery or`supportsBatchUpdates`to see if it is possible to use batch updates.
Some`DatabaseMetaData`methods return lists of information in the form of`ResultSet`objects. Regular`ResultSet`methods, such as`getString`and`getInt`, can be used to retrieve the data from these`ResultSet`objects. If a given form of metadata is not available, an empty`ResultSet`will be returned. Additional columns beyond the columns defined to be returned by the`ResultSet`object for a given method can be defined by the JDBC driver vendor and must be accessed by their**column label**.
Some`DatabaseMetaData`methods take arguments that are String patterns. These arguments all have names such as fooPattern. Within a pattern String, "%" means match any substring of 0 or more characters, and "_" means match any one character. Only metadata entries matching the search pattern are returned. If a search pattern argument is set to`null`, that argument's criterion will be dropped from the search.

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.

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.

): ResultSet!
```
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`)

### getTypeInfo
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
abstract fun getTypeInfo(): ResultSet!
```
Retrieves a description of all the data types supported by this database. They are ordered by DATA_TYPE and then by how closely the data type maps to the corresponding JDBC SQL type.
If the database supports SQL distinct types, then getTypeInfo() will return a single row with a TYPE_NAME of DISTINCT and a DATA_TYPE of Types.DISTINCT. If the database supports SQL structured types, then getTypeInfo() will return a single row with a TYPE_NAME of STRUCT and a DATA_TYPE of Types.STRUCT.
If SQL distinct or structured types are supported, then information on the individual types may be obtained from the getUDTs() method.
Each type description has the following columns:
1. **TYPE_NAME**String =\> Type name
2. **DATA_TYPE**int =\> SQL data type from java.sql.Types
3. **PRECISION**int =\> maximum precision
4. **LITERAL_PREFIX** String =\> prefix used to quote a literal (may be`null`)
5. **LITERAL_SUFFIX** String =\> suffix used to quote a literal (may be`null`)
6. **CREATE_PARAMS** String =\> parameters used in creating the type (may be`null`)
7. **NULLABLE** short =\> can you use NULL for this type.
- typeNoNulls - does not allow NULL values
- typeNullable - allows NULL values
- typeNullableUnknown - nullability unknown
8. **CASE_SENSITIVE**boolean=\> is it case sensitive.
9. **SEARCHABLE** short =\> can you use "WHERE" based on this type:
- typePredNone - No support
- typePredChar - Only supported with WHERE .. LIKE
- typePredBasic - Supported except for WHERE .. LIKE
- typeSearchable - Supported for all WHERE ..
10. **UNSIGNED_ATTRIBUTE**boolean =\> is it unsigned.
11. **FIXED_PREC_SCALE**boolean =\> can it be a money value.
12. **AUTO_INCREMENT**boolean =\> can it be used for an auto-increment value.
13. **LOCAL_TYPE_NAME** String =\> localized version of type name (may be`null`)
14. **MINIMUM_SCALE**short =\> minimum scale supported
15. **MAXIMUM_SCALE**short =\> maximum scale supported
16. **SQL_DATA_TYPE**int =\> unused
17. **SQL_DATETIME_SUB**int =\> unused
18. **NUM_PREC_RADIX**int =\> usually 2 or 10
The PRECISION column represents the maximum column size that the server supports for the given datatype. 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. Null is returned for data types where the column size is not applicable.
