```
    Retrieves a description of a table's optimal set of columns that uniquely identifies a row. They are ordered by SCOPE.
    Each column description has the following columns:
    1. SCOPE short => actual scope of result
      
      bestRowTemporary - very temporary, while using row
      bestRowTransaction - valid for remainder of current transaction
      bestRowSession - valid for remainder of current session
    2. COLUMN_NAME String => column name
    3. DATA_TYPE int => SQL data type from java.sql.Types
    4. TYPE_NAME String => Data source dependent type name, for a UDT the type name is fully qualified
    5. COLUMN_SIZE int => precision
    6. BUFFER_LENGTH int => not used
    7. DECIMAL_DIGITS short => scale - Null is returned for data types where DECIMAL_DIGITS is not applicable.
    8. PSEUDO_COLUMN short => is this a pseudo column like an Oracle ROWID
      
      bestRowUnknown - may or may not be pseudo column
      bestRowNotPseudo - is NOT a pseudo column
      bestRowPseudo - is a pseudo column
    The COLUMN_SIZE column represents the specified column size for the given column. 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.
    Specified by:
    
    getBestRowIdentifier in interface DatabaseMetaData
    
    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
    
    schema - a schema name; 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
    
    table - a table name; must match the table name as it is stored in the database
    
    scope - the scope of interest; use same values as SCOPE
    
    nullable - include columns that are nullable.
    
    Returns:

                           throws SQLException
```
    Retrieves a description of the pseudo or hidden columns available in a given table within the specified catalog and schema. Pseudo or hidden columns may not always be stored within a table and are not visible in a ResultSet unless they are specified in the query's outermost SELECT list. Pseudo or hidden columns may not necessarily be able to be modified. If there are no pseudo or hidden columns, an empty ResultSet is returned.
    Only column descriptions matching the catalog, schema, table and column name criteria are returned. They are ordered by TABLE_CAT,TABLE_SCHEM, TABLE_NAME and COLUMN_NAME.
    Each column description has the following columns:
    1. TABLE_CAT String => table catalog (may be null)
    2. TABLE_SCHEM String => table schema (may be null)
    3. TABLE_NAME String => table name
    4. COLUMN_NAME String => column name
    5. DATA_TYPE int => SQL type from java.sql.Types
    6. COLUMN_SIZE int => column size.
    7. DECIMAL_DIGITS int => the number of fractional digits. Null is returned for data types where DECIMAL_DIGITS is not applicable.
    8. NUM_PREC_RADIX int => Radix (typically either 10 or 2)
    9. COLUMN_USAGE String => The allowed usage for the column. The value returned will correspond to the enum name returned by PseudoColumnUsage#name PseudoColumnUsage.name()
    10. REMARKS String => comment describing column (may be null)
    11. CHAR_OCTET_LENGTH int => for char types the maximum number of bytes in the column
    12. IS_NULLABLE String => ISO rules are used to determine the nullability for a column.
      
      YES --- if the column can include NULLs
      NO --- if the column cannot include NULLs
      empty string --- if the nullability for the column is unknown
    The COLUMN_SIZE column specifies the column size for the given column. 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.

    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.

    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)

```
    Retrieves a description of the table hierarchies defined in a particular schema in this database.
    Only supertable information for tables matching the catalog, schema and table name are returned. The table name parameter may be a fully-qualified name, in which case, the catalog and schemaPattern parameters are ignored. If a table does not have a super table, it is not listed here. Supertables have to be defined in the same catalog and schema as the sub tables. Therefore, the type description does not need to include this information for the supertable.
    Each type description has the following columns:
    1. TABLE_CAT String => the type's catalog (may be null)
    2. TABLE_SCHEM String => type's schema (may be null)
    3. TABLE_NAME String => type name

```
    Retrieves a list of the client info properties that the driver supports. The result set contains the following columns
    1. NAME String : The name of the client info property
    2. MAX_LEN int : The maximum length of the value for the property
    3. DEFAULT_VALUE String : The default value of the property
    4. DESCRIPTION String : A description of the property. This will typically contain information as to where this property is stored in the database.
    The ResultSet is sorted by the NAME column
    Specified by:
    
    getClientInfoProperties in interface DatabaseMetaData
    
    Returns:
    
    A ResultSet object; each row is a supported client info property
    
    Throws:

                       throws SQLException
```
    Retrieves a description of the system and user functions available in the given catalog. Only system and user function descriptions matching the schema and function name criteria are returned. They are ordered by FUNCTION_CAT, FUNCTION_SCHEM, FUNCTION_NAME and SPECIFIC_ NAME.
    Each function description has the the following columns:
    1. FUNCTION_CAT String => function catalog (may be null)
    2. FUNCTION_SCHEM String => function schema (may be null)
    3. FUNCTION_NAME String => function name. This is the name used to invoke the function
    4. REMARKS String => explanatory comment on the function
    5. FUNCTION_TYPE short => kind of function:
      
      functionResultUnknown - Cannot determine if a return value or table will be returned
      functionNoTable- Does not return a table
      functionReturnsTable - Returns a table
    6. SPECIFIC_NAME String => the name which uniquely identifies this function within its schema. This is a user specified, or DBMS generated, name that may be different then the FUNCTION_NAME for example with overload functions
    A user may not have permission to execute any of the functions that are returned by getFunctions
    Specified by:
    
    getFunctions in interface DatabaseMetaData
    
    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
    
    functionNamePattern - a function name pattern; must match the function name as it is stored in the database
    
    Returns:
    
    ResultSet - each row is a function description
    
    Throws:
    
    SQLException - if a database access error occurs
