Each row in the syscolumn system table describes a column.
| Column name | Column type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| table_id | INTEGER | The identifier of the table to which the column belongs. |
| column_id | INTEGER | A unique identifier for the column. |
| column_name | VARCHAR(128) | The name of the column. See Domain interface. |
| column_flags | TINY | A bitwise combination of the following flags describing the attributes:
|
| column_domain | INTEGER | The column domain, which is an enumerated value indicating the domain of the column. |
| column_length | INTEGER | The column length.
For VARCHAR and BINARY type columns, which are defined in the Domain interface, this is the maximum length in bytes. For NUMERIC type columns, the precision is stored in the first byte, and the scale is stored in the second byte. |
| column_default | TINY | The default value for this column, which is specified by one of the COLUMN_DEFAULT values in the ColumnSchema interface. For example, COLUMN_DEFAULT_AUTOINC denotes an auto-incrementing default value. |
