# getClientInfo Method ()
[!INCLUDE[Driver_JDBC_Download](../../../includes/driver_jdbc_download.md)]

  Retrieves a list that contains the name and current value of each client information property supported by the JDBC driver.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
public java.util.Properties getClientInfo()  
```  
  
## Return Value  
 A Properties object that contains the name and current value of each of the client information properties supported by the driver.  
  
## Exceptions  
 [SQLServerException](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverexception-class.md)  
  
## Remarks  
 This getClientInfo method is specified by the getClientInfo method in the java.sql.Connection interface.  
  
 The [!INCLUDE[jdbcNoVersion](../../../includes/jdbcnoversion_md.md)] does not support any client information properties. As a result, this method returns an empty Properties object.  
  
 Similarly, applications can use the [getClientInfoProperties](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/getclientinfoproperties-method-sqlserverdatabasemetadata.md) method of the [SQLServerDatabaseMetaData](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverdatabasemetadata-class.md) class to retrieve a list of the client information properties that the driver supports. The [getClientInfoProperties](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/getclientinfoproperties-method-sqlserverdatabasemetadata.md) method returns an empty result set.
