Remarks

Retrieves a description of the table hierarchies defined in a particular schema in this database.

Only supertable information for tables matching the catalog, schema and table name are returned. The table name parameter may be a fully- qualified name, in which case, the catalog and schemaPattern parameters are ignored. If a table does not have a super table, it is not listed here. Supertables have to be defined in the same catalog and schema as the sub tables. Therefore, the type description does not need to include this information for the supertable.

Each type description has the following columns: <OL> <LI><B>TABLE_CAT</B> String => the type's catalog (may be null) <LI><B>TABLE_SCHEM</B> String => type's schema (may be null) <LI><B>TABLE_NAME</B> String => type name <LI><B>SUPERTABLE_NAME</B> String => the direct super type's name </OL>

<B>Note:</B> If the driver does not support type hierarchies, an empty result set is returned.
