- Method Detail
  - getType
```
int getType()
```
    INTERNAL: Returns the value class type. The type is represented by one of the constants in the SQLValueIF interface.
  - getArity
```
int getArity()
```
    INTERNAL: Returns the [column] arity of the value. The number represents the number of "columns" the value spans, i.e. its composite width.
  - getValueArity
```
int getValueArity()
```
    INTERNAL: Returns the value arity of the value. This number refers to the number of nested values this value contains including itself. Most values therefore have a value arity of 1. Nested values may have an arity higher than 1. SQLTuple is currently the only nested value type.
  - getAlias
```
String getAlias()
```
    INTERNAL: The column alias to use if this value is included in the projection. The SQL select syntax is typically like "select value as from foo".
  - setAlias
```
void setAlias(String alias)
```
    INTERNAL: Sets the column alias.
  - isReference
```
boolean isReference()
```
    INTERNAL: Returns true if this value is a reference to another.
  - getReference
```
SQLValueIF getReference()
```
    INTERNAL: Returns the referenced value if one exists.
  - getValueType
```
Class getValueType()
```
    INTERNAL: Returns the value type.
  - setValueType
```
void setValueType(Class vtype)
```
    INTERNAL: Sets the value type.
  - getFieldHandler
```
FieldHandlerIF getFieldHandler()
```
    INTERNAL: Returns the field handler for the columns.
  - setFieldHandler
```
void setFieldHandler(FieldHandlerIF fhandler)
```
    INTERNAL: Sets the field handler for the value.
