Question - How Do I Check What Table Types Exist In A Database?
Answer -
Use the getTableTypes method of interface java.sql.DatabaseMetaData to probe the database for table types. The exact usage is described in the code below.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
// Load the database driver - in this case, we
// use the Jdbc/Odbc bridge driver.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
// Open a connection to the database
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("[jdbcURL]", "[login]", "[passwd]");
// Get DatabaseMetaData
DatabaseMetaData dbmd = conn.getMetaData();
// Get all table types.
ResultSet rs = dbmd.getTableTypes();
// Printout table data
while(rs.next())
{
// Printout
System.out.println("Type: " + rs.getString(1));
}
// Close database resources
rs.close();
conn.close();
}
