The result set returned by the getIndexInfo method will contain the following information:

Name Type Description
TABLE_CAT String The name of the database in which the specified table resides.
TABLE_SCHEM String The schema for the table.
TABLE_NAME String The name of the table.
NON_UNIQUE boolean Indicates whether the index values can be non-unique.
INDEX_QUALIFIER String The name of the index owner. It will be null when TYPE is tableIndexStatistic.
INDEX_NAME String The name of the index.
TYPE short The type of the index. It can be one of the following values:

tableIndexStatistic (0)

tableIndexClustered (1)

tableIndexHashed (2)

tableIndexOther (3)
ORDINAL_POSITION short The ordinal position of the column in the index. The first column in the index is 1.
COLUMN_NAME String The name of the column.
ASC_OR_DESC String The order used in the collation of the index. It can be one of the following values:

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the getIndexInfo method to return information about the indexes and statistics of the Person.Contact table in the [!INCLUDEssSampleDBnormal] sample database.

public static void executeGetIndexInfo(Connection con) {  
   try {  
      DatabaseMetaData dbmd = con.getMetaData();  
      ResultSet rs = dbmd.getIndexInfo("AdventureWorks", "Person", "Contact", false, true);  
      ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();  
  
      // Display the result set data.  
      int cols = rsmd.getColumnCount();  
      while(rs.next()) {  
         for (int i = 1; i <= cols; i++) {  
            System.out.println(rs.getString(i));  
         }  
      }  
      rs.close();  
   }   
  
   catch (Exception e) {  
      e.printStackTrace();  
   }  
}
