Re: ResultSetMetaData.isNullable

Haris,

In 7.3 and earlier it really isn't possible to return more correct
information, since the jdbc driver doesn't know what the table and
column names are that make to an individual column result.

However in 7.4 with the changes in the FE/BE protocol this will be
possible. But it will be a lot of work to change over to use the new
protocol so it may take a while before all of this is changed.

thanks,
