                          throws XQException

  Description copied from interface: `XQMetaData`
  Gets the name of this product. The value of string returned by this method is implementation-defined.

  Specified by:
    `getProductName` in interface `XQMetaData`
  Returns:
    a string indicating the product name
  Throws:
    `XQException` - if the connection is no longer valid

### getSupportedXQueryEncodings

    public Set getSupportedXQueryEncodings()
                                    throws XQException

  Description copied from interface: `XQMetaData`
  Returns a set of `java.lang.String`, each of which specifies a character encoding method the XQJ implmentation supports to parse the XQuery query text.
  For an example, for an XQJ impmentation which is able to parse the XQuery encoded in "UTF-8" or "UTF-16", it returns a `java.util.Set` of "UTF-8" and "UTF-16". If the implemetation is not able to generate a list of encodings supported, an empty set is returned. If a non-empty set is returned, the encodings returned in this set are guaranteed to be supported. Note that encodings not in the returned set might also be supported. For example, if the set has two encoding methods: 'UTF-8' and 'UTF-16', they are supported by the implementation. However, this does not mean 'Shift-Js' is not supported. It might be supported.

  Specified by:
    `getSupportedXQueryEncodings` in interface `XQMetaData`
  Returns:
    a `java.util.Set` of `java.lang.String`, each of which is an XQuery query text encoding method
