Method Summary
 String getParameterClassName(int param)
          Retrieves the fully-qualified name of the Java class whose instances should be passed to the method PreparedStatement.setObject.
 int getParameterCount()
          Retrieves the number of parameters in the PreparedStatement object for which this ParameterMetaData object contains information.
 int getParameterMode(int param)
          Retrieves the designated parameter's mode.
 int getParameterType(int param)
          Retrieves the designated parameter's SQL type.
 String getParameterTypeName(int param)
          Retrieves the designated parameter's database-specific type name.
 int getPrecision(int param)
          Retrieves the designated parameter's number of decimal digits.
 int getScale(int param)
          Retrieves the designated parameter's number of digits to right of the decimal point.
 int isNullable(int param)
          Retrieves whether null values are allowed in the designated parameter.
 boolean isSigned(int param)
          Retrieves whether values for the designated parameter can be signed numbers.
