How to get TableNames and column names of FireBird using DatabaseMetaData of Java
Dear Friends,

I have created a db called test. Now I have created some tables. Now I want to retrieve the table names which I have created, also the column names of the created table. Using DatabaseMetaData class we can get the same. If I try with DatabaseMetaData class I am getting schemas are not supported error.

Can any one help me out how to get the same for FireBird.

regards,
rajagopal.

Show us your code (although I think this is more a Java problem...)

Because I can successfully retrieve the tables in a Firebird database using DatabaseMetaData, that's why I suggested to show the Java code.

Why this Thread come to life

The reason is:

I had problems to receive the tablenames with DatabaseMetaData
the old (and working) driver interclient.jar does not answer, it hangs.

I found as alternative the system table rdb$relation_name
usable in an ordinary select statement.


Ok, other drivers may be able to answer with DatabaseMetaData, but they have other problems
