All the metadata functionality of
JDBC is supplied by jav.sql.DatabaseMetaData. If there's nothing in there to do what you want, you'll have to resort to the verdor-specific queries for doing this ("show tables" in mysql, "select * from user_tables" in Oracle, "select * from sysobjects where xtype ='U'" in MSSQL etc.)
