Many of the methods here return lists of information in the form of XResultSet objects. You can use the normal XResultSet methods such as XResultSet::getString() and XResultSet::getInt() to retrieve the data from these XResultSets. If a given form of metadata is not available, these methods should throw a SQLException . That a value of XResultSet is can be chaked with the method XResultSet::wasNull(). In the text only "(may be )" is mentioned for this case.

Some of these 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 , that argument's criteria will be dropped from the search.

A SQLException will be thrown if a driver does not support a meta data method. In the case of methods that return an XResultSet, either an XResultSet (which may be empty) is returned or a SQLException is thrown.
