Method Detail

getStreams

ResultSet getStreams(String catalog,
                     String schemaPattern,
                     String streamName)
              throws SQLException

Retrieves a description of the streams available in the given catalog.

This is a Snowflake-specific extension for retrieving information about Snowflake streams.

Parameters:

catalog - a catalog name; must match the catalog name as it is stored in the database; "" retrieves those without a catalog; null means that the catalog name should not be used to narrow the search

schemaPattern - a schema name pattern; must match the schema name as it is stored in the database; "" retrieves those without a schema; null means that the schema name should not be used to narrow the search

streamName - a stream name pattern; must match the stream name as it is stored in the database

Returns:

a ResultSet object in which each row is a stream description

Throws:

SQLException - if a database access error occurs

getColumns

ResultSet getColumns(String catalog,
                     String schemaPattern,
                     String tableNamePattern,
                     String columnNamePattern,
                     boolean extendedSet)
              throws SQLException

Retrieves a description of the table columns available in the specified catalog with extended metadata.

This is a Snowflake-specific overload of DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) that allows retrieving extended column metadata.

Parameters:

catalog - a catalog name; must match the catalog name as it is stored in the database; "" retrieves those without a catalog; null means that the catalog name should not be used to narrow the search

schemaPattern - a schema name pattern; must match the schema name as it is stored in the database; "" retrieves those without a schema; null means that the schema name should not be used to narrow the search

tableNamePattern - a table name pattern; must match the table name as it is stored in the database

columnNamePattern - a column name pattern; must match the column name as it is stored in the database

extendedSet - if true, returns extended metadata including base type information

Returns:

ResultSet - each row is a column description

Throws:

SQLException - if a database access error occurs
