[jira] [Updated] (DRILL-2420) Identify and fix DatabaseMetaData.getColumns() bugs [umbrella/tracking bug]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-2420?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Daniel Barclay (Drill) updated DRILL-2420:
------------------------------------------
    Description: 
Drill's implementation of {{DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(...)}} (currently at {{org.apache.drill.jdbc.MetaImpl.getColumns()}}) doesn't match the JDBC specification (the Javadoc documentation for {{DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(...)}} (as of Java 7)).  In the returned {{ResultSet}}:

1. Column {{DATA_TYPE}} is of type {{VARCHAR}} (containing the type name) rather than being of type {{INTEGER}} (containing values per {{java.sql.Types.*}}).
2. Column {{TYPE_NAME}} is missing.
3. Column {{COLUMN_SIZE}} is missing.
4. (Columns after {{DATA_TYPE}} are at incorrect indexes.)
5. Column {{DECIMAL_DIGITS}} is misnamed {{DECIMAL_PRECISION}}.
6. Column {{REMARKS}} is an empty string, but probably should be {{NULL}}.
7. Column {{COLUMN_DEF}} is an empty string, but probably should be {{NULL}}.
8. Column {{CHAR_OCTET_LENGTH}} is always {{4}}, but should be "the maximum number of bytes in the _column_" for character types .
9. Column {{ORDINAL_POSITION}} is always {{1}}, but should be the index of the specific column.
10. Column {{IS_NULLABLE}} is {{'YES'}}, which doesn't seem to correspond to the value for {{NULLABLE}} ({{DatabaseMetaData.columnNullableUnknown}}).
11. Column {{SCOPE_CATALOG}} is an empty string, but should be {{NULL}}.
12. Column {{SCOPE_SCHEMA}} is an empty string, but should be {{NULL}}.
13. Column {{SCOPE_TABLE}} is an empty string, but should be {{NULL}}.
14. Column {{SOURCE_DATA_TYPE}} is an empty string, but should be {{NULL}}.

Additional bugs or suspect behavior:

- {{DECIMAL_DIGITS}}/{{DECIMAL_PRECISION}} is {{-1}} when it should be {{NULL}} (when not applicable).
- {{NUM_PREC_RADIX}} is {{-1}} when it probably should be {{NULL}} (when not applicable).

(Other columns to check:

Re {{BUFFER_LENGTH}}, {{SQL_DATA_TYPE}}, and {{SQL_DATETIME_SUB}}:  When JDBC says a column is not used, are there any requirements on the values (e.g., being {{NULL}})? 

Re {{IS_AUTOINCREMENT}}:  Do we know that a column is not auto-incremented?  If so, the value could be {{'NO'}} rather than an empty string.

Re {{IS_GENERATEDCOLUMN}}:  Do we know that a column is not generated?  If so, the value could be {{'NO'}} rather than an empty string.

Re {{NULLABLE}} (and {{IS_NULLABLE}}):  Do know whether a column is nullable or not?  If so, we could return the specific answer rather that just saying that it's unknown.

)
