java获取sql中的所有表,如何从数据库获取所有表名？

I'd like to retrieve all table names from a database schema, and, if possible, get all table starting with a specified prefix.

I tried using JDBC's connection.getMetaData().getTables() but it didn't work at all.

Connection jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("", "", "");

DatabaseMetaData m = jdbcConnection.getMetaData();

ResultSet tables = m.getTables(jdbcConnection.getCatalog(), null, "TAB_%", null);

for (int i = 0; i < tables.getMetaData().getColumnCount(); i++) {

System.out.println("table = " + tables.getMetaData().getTableName(i));

}

Could someone help me on this?

You need to iterate over your ResultSet calling next().

This is an example from java2s.com:

DatabaseMetaData md = conn.getMetaData();

ResultSet rs = md.getTables(null, null, "%", null);

while (rs.next()) {

System.out.println(rs.getString(3));

}

Column 3 is the TABLE_NAME (see documentation of getTables).
