Summary of reading the javadoc documentation of the SQLSchemaManager class

A. The Structure of SQLSchemaManager

   - 4 inner classes, 1 inner interface

   - 3 protected instance variables (relevant to our project):
     SQLAdatper (m_adapter), SQLAppender (m_appender), SQLConnection (m_connection)

     * Note: What does SQLAppender do? It might help us to understand what the append methods do
             in the SQLAdapter class.
 
   - the constructor that takes a reference to an SQLAdapter:

         protected  SQLSchemaManager(SQLAdapter adapter)
     
   - 18 abstract methods


B. A List of 18 Abstract Methods

   * Note: Some of the abstract methods are implemented in the MySQLSchemaManager class
           to return null.

1. abstract  void analyzeTable(Table table)

          Appends the SQL statements to gather statistics for a given table to the SQL appender.
         

2. protected abstract  void   appendColumnType(java.lang.StringBuffer buf,
                                               Column column)

          Appends a table column type declaration to a string buffer.
         
         
3. protected abstract  java.lang.StringBuffer   appendConcatenate(
                                                      java.lang.StringBuffer buf,
