[Squirrel-sql-users] Column properties

[Ofer B. <of...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

I'm new to SQuirreL SQL and this mailing list, so I hope my question is
relevant to this forum -

I have connected to a local MySQL server, and am looking at the
specification of the Columns of some table. At the same time I'm looking at
the specification of the same table directly in MySQL (MySQL Workbench),
and obviously, the columns' properties are different. For instance, in
SQuirelL SQL I have properties like "IS_NULLABLE", "DECIMAL_DIGITS" and
"NUM_PREC_RADIX", whereas in MySQL I have properties like: "Not Null",
"Auto Increment", "Zero Fill".
My question - what are the meanings of all the column properties in
SQuirreL SQL? and better yet - how can I map them to MySLQ's properties?
(some of them are obvious like "IS_NULLABLE" <==> "Not Null", but most
aren't that clear).
I need this since I just used the CopyDB plugin from a MySQL to a Derby,
and want to know if everything was preserved in the conversion and what
changes were made to table structure.

Thank you!
Ofer
