 * An object that can be used to get information about the types
 * and properties of the columns in a ResultSet object.
 * The following code fragment creates the ResultSet object rs,
 * creates the ResultSetMetaData object rsmd, and uses rsmd
 * to find out how many columns rs has and whether the first column in rs
 * can be used in a WHERE clause.
 *

 *     ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT a, b, c FROM TABLE2");
 *     ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
 *     int numberOfColumns = rsmd.getColumnCount();
 *     boolean b = rsmd.isSearchable(1);
