Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the getTables method to return the table description information for the Person.Contact table in the AdventureWorks2022 sample database.

public static void executeGetTables(Connection con) {  
   try {  
      DatabaseMetaData dbmd = con.getMetaData();  
      ResultSet rs = dbmd.getTables("AdventureWorks", "Person", "Contact", null);  
      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();  
   }
