Remarks

A QueryDescription object fully describes how a single database table or one or more database tables (specified by a valid SQL SELECT statement) should be represented as a Table or FeatureClass if the table is spatially enabled. Essentially, there are two flavors of QueryDescription. The first is created by GetQueryDescription(String). Given a table name (fully qualified or unqualified), it encapsulates all the important properties that describe the underlying single table (i.e., QueryDescription.IsQueryLayer returns false). The second flavor is created by GetQueryDescription(String,String). Given a valid SQL SELECT statement and a query layer name, it encapsulates all the important properties that describe the underlying query layer that is created from one or more tables (i.e., QueryDescription.IsQueryLayer returns true). If the table returned is a FeatureClass, the spatial type is taken from the first row returned. To remove ambiguity, QueryDescription.SetShapeType should be called prior to calling this routine.
