It's needed for some meta analysis. That's as much as I can say.
| To get community buyin into a feature the community - or at least
| parts of it - need to understand why its needed.
Take a look at these APIs:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSetMetaData.html#isNullable(int) int isNullable(int
column)throws SQLException Indicates the nullability of values in the designated column.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms716289(v=VS.85).aspx NullablePtr [Output] Pointer to a buffer in which to
returna value that indicates whether the column allows NULL values.
A common and natural question to be answered about result sets.
