Hi Prakash,
getColumnType - Returns the data type as a java.sql.Types value
getColumnTypeName - Returns the value as a database specific column type
For ex. when u have Oracle and you have a field called name which is defined as
varchar2(10) in Oracle
getColumnType - Returns String
getColumnTypeName - Returns varchar2
hope this helps

Subject: JDBC Metadata methods
Hi All,
Can anyone clarify the difference between the JDBC metadata methods
getColumnType() and getColumnTypeName(). I am designing generalized
class libraries for all JDBC related manipulations for which proper
statement need to be constructed depending on the type of the column
fetched from the Database.
Thanks.
