Answer 1

Try this
DatabaseMetaData meta=conn.getMetaData();
     ResultSet set=meta.getTables("Database_name",null,null,null);
     System.out.println("got meta data ");
     while(set.next()){
          System.out.println(set.getString(3));
// 3 rd column is the name of table
The resultant resultset has following columns (as strings)
(as per javadoc)
TABLE_CAT String => table catalog (may be null)
TABLE_SCHEM String => table schema (may be null)
TABLE_NAME String => table name
TABLE_TYPE String => table type. Typical types are "TABLE", "VIEW", "SYSTEM TABLE", "GLOBAL TEMPORARY", "LOCAL TEMPORARY", "ALIAS", "SYNONYM".
REMARKS String => explanatory comment on the table
TYPE_CAT String => the types catalog (may be null)
TYPE_SCHEM String => the types schema (may be null)
TYPE_NAME String => type name (may be null)
SELF_REFERENCING_COL_NAME String => name of the designated "identifier" column of a typed table (may be null)
REF_GENERATION String => specifies how values in SELF_REFERENCING_COL_NAME are created. Values are "SYSTEM", "USER", "DERIVED". (may be null)
