Tables

You can use the getTables() method of the DatabaseMetaData interface to retrieve a list of tables:

String connectionString = "jdbc:postgresql:User=postgres;Password=admin;Database=postgres;Server=127.0.0.1;Port=5432";

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionString);
DatabaseMetaData table_meta = conn.getMetaData();
ResultSet rs=table_meta.getTables(null, null, "%", null);  
while(rs.next()){
  System.out.println(rs.getString("TABLE_NAME"));
}

The getTables() method returns the following columns:


Column Name	Data Type	Description
TABLE_CAT	String	The table catalog.
TABLE_SCHEM	String	The table schema.
TABLE_NAME	String	The table name.
TABLE_TYPE	String	The table type.
REMARKS	String	The table description.
