    Description

      With code like the following:

      DatabaseMetaData dmd = conn.getMetaData();
      ResultSet rs = dmd.getBestRowIdentifier(null,"APP","a",3,true);
      ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
      int actualCols = rsmd.getColumnCount();
      for (int i = 0; i < actualCols; i++)

      { System.out.print("getColumnName: " + rsmd.getColumnName(i+1) + ", isNullable: "); System.out.println(rsmd.isNullable(i+1)); }

      The printed values for isNullable returned are opposite of what they are when the getBestRowIdentifier call looks like this:
      ResultSet rs = dmd.getBestRowIdentifier(null,"APP","a",1,true);

      In the latter case, the values are:
      getColumnName: SCOPE, isNullable: 0
      getColumnName: COLUMN_NAME, isNullable: 1
      getColumnName: DATA_TYPE, isNullable: 0
      getColumnName: TYPE_NAME, isNullable: 1
      getColumnName: COLUMN_SIZE, isNullable: 0
      getColumnName: BUFFER_LENGTH, isNullable: 0
      getColumnName: DECIMAL_DIGITS, isNullable: 0
      getColumnName: PSEUDO_COLUMN, isNullable: 0

      In the first case, the values are:
      getColumnName: SCOPE, isNullable: 1
      getColumnName: COLUMN_NAME, isNullable: 0
      getColumnName: DATA_TYPE, isNullable: 1
      getColumnName: TYPE_NAME, isNullable: 1
      getColumnName: COLUMN_SIZE, isNullable: 1
      getColumnName: BUFFER_LENGTH, isNullable: 1
      getColumnName: DECIMAL_DIGITS, isNullable: 1
      getColumnName: PSEUDO_COLUMN, isNullable: 1

      The isNullable value should be stable.
      It's probably worthwhile verifying what the value should be in the first place.
