Re: getTableName(column+1) returns null ? - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Oguz,

The protocol that postgres uses to communicate between the client (jdbc
in this case) and the server doesn't have a concept of exposing to the
client what table maps to a particular select item in a result set,
therefore the driver can not report anything useful to the caller.  Thus
the driver always returns "".
