This enhancement is supposed to reflect the relevent column
returned by the JDBC DatabaseMetaData call, getTables().
At the time of 1.7.0, this column was supposed to return
CACHED or TEXT or MEMORY from the HSQLDB engine. Since the metadata support
was rewritten for 1.7.2, this column returns null for normal tables but will
return a line of text for system tables. (Use SELECT * FROM SYSTEM_TABLES to see
the texts.) As system tables are not listed in Database Manager, this is
currently always empty but we may allow comments on normal tables in the future
and also Database Manager may be used with other database engines that may
return some text in that column.

Subject: [Hsqldb-developers] Adding a
table Remarks attribute
Hello All,
I am new to this forum. So greetings!
I am making enhancements to the
DatabseManagerSwing class. I noticed that on April 7, of
2002, via a patch in 1.7.0, some
reengineering changes and enhancements were made. I am assuming that this
particular enhancement, "adding a table Remarks attribute" was made then,
based on the updated comments.
Not sure if this enhancement was going to be
reflected, in the database structure, at that time or some time in the future.
I do not see "Remarks" in the Documentation or am I missing
something?
Can some one point in the right
direction?
Thanks in
Advance...
IchBin
