## javax.sql
Interface RowSetMetaData

All Superinterfaces:
  ResultSetMetaData, Wrapper

All Known Implementing Classes:
  RowSetMetaDataImpl

    public interface RowSetMetaData

extends ResultSetMetaData

An object that contains information about the columns in a `RowSet` object. This interface is an extension of the `ResultSetMetaData` interface with methods for setting the values in a `RowSetMetaData` object. When a `RowSetReader` object reads data into a `RowSet` object, it creates a `RowSetMetaData` object and initializes it using the methods in the `RowSetMetaData` interface. Then the reader passes the `RowSetMetaData` object to the rowset.

The methods in this interface are invoked internally when an application calls the method `RowSet.execute`; an application programmer would not use them directly.

Since:
  1.4
