Interface XQMetaData

All Known Implementing Classes:
  BXQMetaData

    public interface XQMetaData

`XQMetaData` interface provides information about the data source, in various aspects, such as the product name and version identification, supported features, specific behaviors, user information, product limits and so forth.
An object implementing this interface is obtained from the connection object by calling the `getMetaData()` method, for example:

      XQMetaData metaData = connection.getMetaData();
      String productVersion = metaData.getProductVersion();
        ...

Since the metadata object depends on the connection, all its methods would raise an exception if the connection it is created from is no longer valid.

                                              throws XQException

  Returns a set of `java.lang.String`, each of which specifies a character encoding method the XQJ implmentation supports to parse the XQuery query text.
  For an example, for an XQJ impmentation which is able to parse the XQuery encoded in "UTF-8" or "UTF-16", it returns a `java.util.Set` of "UTF-8" and "UTF-16". If the implemetation is not able to generate a list of encodings supported, an empty set is returned. If a non-empty set is returned, the encodings returned in this set are guaranteed to be supported. Note that encodings not in the returned set might also be supported. For example, if the set has two encoding methods: 'UTF-8' and 'UTF-16', they are supported by the implementation. However, this does not mean 'Shift-Js' is not supported. It might be supported.

  Returns:
    a `java.util.Set` of `java.lang.String`, each of which is an XQuery query text encoding method
  Throws:
    `XQException` - if the connection is no longer valid

### isXQueryEncodingSupported

    boolean isXQueryEncodingSupported(java.lang.String encoding)
                                      throws XQException

  Query if a character encoding method of the XQuery query text is supported by the XQJ implmentation.

  Parameters:
    `encoding` - `String` representing the character encoding method of the XQuery query text.
  Returns:
    `true` if an XQuery query character encoding method is supported, `false` otherwise
  Throws:
    `XQException` - if (1) the connection is no longer valid, or (2) the specified `encoding` parameter is `null`

### isUserDefinedXMLSchemaTypeSupported

    boolean isUserDefinedXMLSchemaTypeSupported()
                                                throws XQException

  Check if the user defined XML schema type is supported in this connection. If this method returns `true`, then `XQItemAccessor.instanceOf(XQItemType)` must be able to determine if the type of an `XQItemAccessor` is an instance of the `XQItemType` even if either of them is a user defined XML schema type which is defined by the non-predefined XML schema. The pre-defined XML Schema refers to the XML schema whose schema URL is `"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"`

  Returns:
    `true` if the user defined XML schema type is supported in this connection, `false` otherwise.
  Throws:
    `XQException` - if the connection is no longer valid
