Tables
You can use the getTables method of the DatabaseMetaData interface to retrieve a list of tables:
String connectionString = "jdbc:oracleoci:User=scott;Password=tiger;Server=127.0.0.1;Port=1521;";
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. |
