Re: How do I retrieve the every field length defined in DDL with JDBC ?

    Hi Vengoal,

    Depending on your needs, Keith's answer of
ResultSetMetaData.getColumnDisplaySize() is probably enough.  If you need
more information and specifics about the columns, you can also use
DatabaseMetaData.getColumns().

    There's actually an example of both methods in the list archives at:

http://archive.midrange.com/java101/200107/msg00035.html

    I also have an example using ResultSetMetaData.getColumnDisplaySize() to
set up a fixed font display in one of the exercises for my JDBC tutorial at
Sun's developer site.  The complete program is at:

Hi Vengoal,

Create a ResultSetMetaData object then use its getColumnDisplaySize method
for every column.

If you want further info then refer to the JDBC API docs.

Keith

  ACTIONCD      CHAR(1),
  ACTDEP            CHAR(10),
