Description

Trivial request from UI developers.

DatabaseMetaData databaseMetaData = connection.getMetaData();
ResultSet rs = databaseMetaData.getColumns(null, null, "tableName", null);
....
boolean partitionKey = rs.getBoolean("IS_PARTITION_COLUMN");

It's not JDBC standard column but seemed to be useful.
