/**
* Provides definitions for a few of the SQL Standard Schemata views that are
* supported by HSQLDB.<p>
*
* Provides definitions for some of HSQLDB's additional system view.
*
* The views supported in this class are exclusively those that are needed
* to build the ResultSet objects that are returned by JDBC DatabaseMetaData
* calls.<p>
*
* The definitions for the rest of SQL standard and HSQLDB specific system views
* are provided by DatabaseInformationFull, which extends this class. <p>
*
* Produces a collection of views that form the system data dictionary. <p>
*
* Implementations use a group of arrays of equal size to store various
* attributes or cached instances of system tables.<p>
*
* Two fixed static lists of reserved table names are kept in String[] and
* HsqlName[] forms. These are shared by all implementations of
* DatabaseInformtion.<p>
*
* Each implementation keeps a lookup set of names for those tables whose
* contents are never cached (nonCachedTablesSet). <p>
*
* An instance of this class uses three lists named sysTablexxxx for caching
* system tables.<p>
*
* sysTableSessionDependent indicates which tables contain data that is
* dependent on the user rights of the User associatiod with the Session.<p>
*
* sysTableSessions contains the Session with whose rights each cached table
* was built.<p>
*
* sysTables contains the cached tables.<p>
*
* At the time of instantiation, which is part of the Database.open() method
* invocation, an empty table is created and placed in sysTables with calls to
* generateTable(int) for each name in sysTableNames. Some of these
* table entries may be null if an implementation does not produce them.<p>
*
* Calls to getSystemTable(String, Session) return a cached table if various
* caching rules are met (see below), or it will delete all rows of the table
* and rebuild the contents via generateTable(int).<p>
*
* generateTable(int) calls the appropriate single method for each table.
* These methods either build and return an empty table (if sysTables
* contains null for the table slot) or populate the table with up-to-date
* rows. <p>
*
* When the setDirty() call is made externally, the internal isDirty flag
* is set. This flag is used next time a call to
* getSystemTable(String, Session) is made. <p>
*
* Rules for caching are applied as follows: <p>
*
* When a call to getSystemTable(String, Session) is made, if the isDirty flag
* is true, then the contents of all cached tables are cleared and the
* sysTableUsers slot for all tables is set to null. This also has the
* effect of clearing the isDirty and isDirtyNextIdentity flags<p>
*
* if the isDirtyNextIdentity flag is true at this point, then the contents
* of all next identity value dependent cached tables are cleared and the
* sysTableUsers slot for these tables are set to null.  Currently,
* the only member of this set is the SYSTEM_TABLES system table.
*
* If a table has non-cached contents, its contents are cleared and
* rebuilt. <p>
*
* For the rest of the tables, if the sysTableSessions slot is null or if the
* Session parameter is not the same as the Session object
* in that slot, the table contents are cleared and rebuilt. <p>

//
//        This break down of inheritance allows DatabaseInformation and
//        DatabaseInformationMain (this class) to be made as small as possible

//
//        1.) DatabaseInformation prevents use of reserved system table names
//            for user tables and views, meaning that even under highly
//            constrained use cases where the notion of DatabaseMetaData can
//            be discarded (i.e. the engine operates in a distribution where
//            DatabaseInforationMain/Full and JDBCDatabaseMetaData have been
//            dropped from the JAR), it is still impossible to produce a
//            database which will be incompatible in terms of system table <=>
//            user table name clashes, if/when imported into a more
//            capable operating environment.
//
//        2.) DatabaseInformationMain builds on DatabaseInformation, providing
//            at minimum what is needed for comprehensive operation under
//            JDK 1.1/JDBC 1 and provides, at minimum, what was provided under
//            earlier implementations.
//
//        3.) descendents of DatabaseInformationMain (such as the current
//            DatabaseInformationFull) need not (and indeed: now cannot)
//            override most of the DatabaseInformationMain table producing
//            methods, as for the most part they are expected to be already
//            fully comprehensive, security aware and accessible to all users.

     * the IN_KEY column value is TRUE. If the nullable parameter is
     * <code>true</code>, then the IN_KEY column value is ignored. <p>
     *
     * There is not yet infrastructure in place to make some of the ranking

     * upon which cost descisions could be based will change significantly over
     * the next few releases.  Hence, in the interest of simplicity and of not
     * making overly complex dependency on features that will almost certainly
     * change significantly in the near future, the current implementation,
     * while perfectly adequate for all but the most demanding or exacting
     * purposes, is actually sub-optimal in the strictest sense. <p>
     *
     * A description of the current implementation follows: <p>
     *
     * <b>DEFINTIONS:</b>  <p>
     *
     * <b>Alternate key</b> <p>
     *
     *  <UL>
     *   <LI> An attribute of a table that, by virtue of its having a set of
     *        columns that are both the full set of columns participating in a
     *        unique constraint or index and are all not null, yeilds the same
     *        selectability characteristic that would obtained by declaring a
     *        primary key on those same columns.
     *  </UL> <p>
     *
     * <b>Column set performance ranking</b> <p>
     *
     *  <UL>
     <LI> The ranking of the expected average performance w.r.t a subset of
     *       a table's columns used to select and/or compare rows, as taken in
     *       relation to all other distinct candidate subsets under
     *       consideration. This can be estimated by comparing each cadidate
     *       subset in terms of total column count, relative peformance of
     *       comparisons amongst the domains of the columns and differences
     *       in other costs involved in the execution plans generated using
     *       each subset under consideration for row selection/comparison.
     *  </UL> <p>
     *
     *
     * <b>Rules:</b> <p>
     *
     * Given the above definitions, the rules currently in effect for reporting
     * best row identifier are as follows, in order of precedence: <p>
     *
     * <OL>
     * <LI> if the table under consideration has a primary key contraint, then
     *      the columns of the primary key are reported, with no consideration
     *      given to the column set performance ranking over the set of
     *      candidate keys. Each row has its IN_KEY column set to TRUE.
     *
     * <LI> if 1.) does not hold, then if there exits one or more alternate
     *      keys, then the columns of the alternate key with the lowest column
     *      count are reported, with no consideration given to the column set
     *      performance ranking over the set of candidate keys. If there
     *      exists a tie for lowest column count, then the columns of the
     *      first such key encountered are reported.
     *      Each row has its IN_KEY column set to TRUE.
     *
     * <LI> if both 1.) and 2.) do not hold, then, if possible, a unique
     *      contraint/index is selected from the set of unique
     *      contraints/indices containing at least one column having
     *      a not null constraint, with no consideration given to the
     *      column set performance ranking over the set of all such
     *      candidate column sets. If there exists a tie for lowest non-zero
     *      count of columns having a not null constraint, then the columns
     *      of the first such encountered candidate set are reported. Each
     *      row has its IN_KEY column set to FALSE. <p>
     *
     * <LI> Finally, if the set of candidate column sets in 3.) is the empty,
     *      then no column set is reported for the table under consideration.
     * </OL> <p>
     *
     * The scope reported for a best row identifier column set is determined
     * thus: <p>
     *
     * <OL>
     * <LI> if the database containing the table under consideration is in
     *      read-only mode or the table under consideration is GLOBAL TEMPORARY
     *      (a TEMP or TEMP TEXT table, in HSQLDB parlance), then the scope
     *      is reported as
     *      <code>java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.bestRowSession</code>.
     *
