Kim Haase updated DERBY-6070:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: DERBY-6070.zip
                DERBY-6070.stat
                DERBY-6070.diff

Attaching DERBY-6070.diff, DERBY-6070.stat, and DERBY-6070.zip. I created two 
new topics for the DatabaseMetaData and SQLType features. 

A       src/ref/rrefjdbc4_2sqltype.dita
A       src/ref/rrefjdbc4_2databasemetadata.dita
M       src/ref/refderby.ditamap

Comments are welcome!

> We may want to document the following specifics of Derby's JDBC 4.2 
> implementation:
> ---  DatabaseMetaData.getMaxLogicalLobSize() ---
> This is a new method added by JDBC 4.2. The javadoc for this method is terse:
> "long getMaxLogicalLOBSize()
>                           throws SQLException
> Retrieves the maximum number of bytes this database allows for the logical 
> size for a LOB.
> Returns:
>     the maximum number of bytes allowed; a result of zero means that there is 
> no limit or the limit is not known 
> Throws:
>     SQLException - if a database access error occurs"
> Derby returns 0. The meaningful limits on Derby's BLOB and CLOB datatypes are 
> documented in the datatype section of the Reference Manual.
> ---  SQLType ---
> JDBC 4.2 introduces a new datatype identifier (java.sql.SQLType) to help 
> databases describe datatypes which don't appear in the ANSI/ISO SQL Standard. 
> The idea is that databases with non-standard types can provide their own 
> implementations of SQLType. JDBC 4.2 also supplies its own implementation 
> (java.sql.JDBCType) which provides an enum for each of the type ids in 
> java.sql.Types.
> Derby doesn't expose any datatypes which aren't represented by JDBCType enums 
> and so Derby doesn't need to provide its own implementation of SQLType.
> Overloads with SQLType arguments have been added to various interfaces, 
> alongside the existing methods which take int type ids from java.sql.Types. 
> The affected interfaces are: CallableStatement, PreparedStatement, and 
> ResultSet. On Derby, these methods raise an "unsupported datatype" exception 
> (SQLState 0A000) if the caller passes in a bad SQLType, namely:
> 1) A SQLType from a foreign database. That is a SQLType which isn't one of 
> the JDBCType enums.
> 2) A JDBCType enum whose corresponding int type id (from java.sql.Types) 
> isn't supported by Derby. The supported int type ids are documented in the 
> datatype section of the Reference Manual. The JDBCType enums have the same 
> names as their corresponding int ids in java.sql.Types.
