Remarks

This getSchemas method is specified by the getSchemas method in the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData interface.

The result set returned by the getSchemas method contains the following information:

Name	Type	Description
TABLE_SCHEM	String	The name of the schema.
TABLE_CATALOG	String	The catalog name for the schema.

The results are ordered by TABLE_CATALOG, and then TABLE_SCHEM. Each row has TABLE_SCHEM as the first column and TABLE_CATALOG as the second column.

Note

For more information about the data returned by the getSchemas method, see "sys.schemas (Transact-SQL)" in SQL Server Books Online.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the getSchemas method to return information about the catalog and its associated schema names in SQL Server when the connection argument specifies the database to be used.

public static void executeGetSchemas(Connection con) {  
   try {  
      DatabaseMetaData dbmd = con.getMetaData();  
      ResultSet rs = dbmd.getSchemas();  
      ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();  
  
      // Display the result set data.  
      int cols = rsmd.getColumnCount();  
      while(rs.next()) {  
         for (int i = 1; i <= cols; i++) {  
            System.out.println(rs.getString(i));  
         }  
      }  
      rs.close();  
   }   
  
   catch (Exception e) {  
      e.printStackTrace();  
   }  
}
