Returns

The metadata for the UploadedTableData instance.

Example

The following example obtains a java.sql.ResultSetMetaData instance for an uploaded table called remoteOrders. The code uses the ResultSetMetaData.getColumnCount and getColumnLabel methods to compile a list of column names.

import ianywhere.ml.script.*;
import java.sql.*;

// ...

// The method used for the handle_UploadData event.

public void HandleUpload( UploadData ut ) {
  throws SQLException, IOException {
  // Get an UploadedTableData instance representing the remoteOrders table.
  UploadedTableData remoteOrdersTable = ut.getUploadedTableByName("remoteOrders");
 
  // get inserts uploaded by the MobiLink client
  java.sql.ResultSet rs = remoteOrdersTable.getInserts();
  // Obtain the result set metadata.
  java.sql.ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
  String columnHeading = "";

  // Compile a list of column names.
  for( int c=1; c <= md.getColumnCount(); c += 1 ) {
    columnHeading += md.getColumnLabel();  
   
    if( c < md.getColumnCount() ) {
      columnHeading += ", ";
    }
  }
  //...
