31 * An object that contains information about the columns in a
32 * <code>RowSet</code> object.  This interface is
33 * an extension of the <code>ResultSetMetaData</code> interface with
34 * methods for setting the values in a <code>RowSetMetaData</code> object.
35 * When a <code>RowSetReader</code> object reads data into a <code>RowSet</code>
36 * object, it creates a <code>RowSetMetaData</code> object and initializes it
37 * using the methods in the <code>RowSetMetaData</code> interface.  Then the
38 * reader passes the <code>RowSetMetaData</code> object to the rowset.
39 * <P>
40 * The methods in this interface are invoked internally when an application
41 * calls the method <code>RowSet.execute</code>; an application
42 * programmer would not use them directly.
