Interface Meta

public interface Meta

A wrapping object for DatabaseMetaData

This object can be obtained through DSLContext.meta() in order to provide convenient access to your database meta data. This abstraction has two purposes:

1. To increase API convenience, as no checked SQLException is thrown, only the unchecked DataAccessException
2. To increase API convenience, as the returned objects are always jOOQ objects, not JDBC ResultSet objects with hard-to-remember API constraints
