Question

i am trying to list tables from a database, when i use the below syntax

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

this returns me all the tables, views, index, system_tables from the database.

but i need only list of tables from the public schema so i have given the below syntax,

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

which shows me the following error

required: String,String,String,String[]
found: <null>,String,String,String
reason: actual argument String cannot be converted to String[] by method invocation conversion

just need to list the tables alone from public schema.

plz help with the syntax

The Javadoc suggests your last parameter should be an array of strings.

public ResultSet getTables(String catalog,
                           String schemaPattern,
                           String tableNamePattern,
                           String[] types)
                    throws SQLException
