You can use ResultSetMetaData to retrieve metadata about the results of a query.

The query can contain any of the following:

• Joins
• Aggregates
• Aliases
• Fully qualified names
• Generated columns

You can instantiate a ResultSetMetaData object by invoking the getMetaData method of the Statement class. A ResultSetMetaData instance is populated with data after the statement has been executed. The following query prints out the columns in the result of the query:

String connectionString = "jdbc:jdedwards:URL=https://your-jde-environment-app.example.com;User=admin;Password=myPassword;";

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionString);
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT DocumentNumber, Amount AS My_Amount, GETDATE() FROM AccountsPayable.AccountLedger WHERE AccountNumber = '10001'");
pstmt.executeQuery();
ResultSetMetaData rs = pstmt.getMetaData();
for(int i=1;i<=rs.getColumnCount();i++) {
  System.out.println(rs.getColumnName(i));
}
