This method is used to set data types supported by a data source.

public void setTypesInfo(String Typename, int Datatype, long OaPrecision,
String LiteralPrefix, String LiteralSuffix, String CreateParams,
int OaNullable, int OaCaseSensitive, int OaSearchable,
int UnsignedAttrib, int OaMoney, int AutoIncrement,
int MinimumScale, int MaximumScale, String LocaltypeName)

Parameters for setTypesInfo when using oa_types_info

Parameter	Type	Description
Typename	String	Data source-dependent data type name
Datatype	int	The ODBC SQL data type
OaPrecision	long	The maximum precision of the data type on the data source. NULL is returned for data types where precision is not applicable.
LiteralPrefix	String	Characters used to prefix a literal. For data types where a literal is not applicable, use NULL.
LiteralSuffix	String	Characters used to terminate a literal. For data types where a literal is not applicable, use NULL.
CreateParams	String	Parameters for data type definition.
OaNullable	int	Whether the data type can be null: XO_NO_NULLS (0) – No nulls allowed XO_NULLABLE (1) – Can be null XO_NULLABLE_UNKNOWN (2) – Nullable unknown
OaCaseSensitive	int	Whether the data type is case sensitive in collation and comparison. TRUE if the data type is a character data type and it is case sensitive. FALSE if the data type is not a character data type or is not case sensitive.
OaSearchable	int	How the data type is used in a WHERE clause.
UnsignedSttrib	int	Whether the data type is unsigned. OpenAccess SDK does not support unsigned data types.
OaMoney	int	Whether the data type is a money data type.
AutoIncrement	int	Whether the data type is autoincrementing.
MinimumScale	int	Minimum scale of the data type.
MaximumScale	int	Maximum scale of the data type.
LocaltypeName	String	Localized version of the database dependent data type name.
