Pblm with If condition... to validate tables

Question

Hai
please see the below code
DatabaseMetaData myMT = con.getMetaData();
String[] myTables = {"TABLE"};
ResultSet tables = myMT.getTables(null,null, "%", myTables);
String tableName = null;
while (tables.next())
tableName = tables.getString("TABLE_NAME");
System.out.println(tableName);
the above code will show all the tables those r existed at database
this is working fine.
but the pblm is..
when i am trying to validate a specific table using if condition..like this.
if (tableName.equals("hd"))
System.out.println("Tables Existed");
else
System.out.println("Tables Not Existed");
admin table existed at database.
but always it is saying "Table not existed."
what is the wrong in this if condition

this must work if u r validating table name
immediately after getting table name.
i.e--------------------------------------
while (tables.next())
tableName = tables.getString("TABLE_NAME");
System.out.println(tableName);
if (tableName.equals("hd"))
System.out.println("Tables Existed");
else
System.out.println("Tables Not Existed");
if u r doing this validation outside of while{} then
it wont work as tableName will contain the last table
hope this helps
