Where is the tip? I do not see a TIP. It just tells you to use the database metadata classes in jdbc.

What I gathered from this trick/tip is that its a utility to get a lising of tables/views from a schema. Try running it!

Seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to be able to browse a database schema. Why not just use toad or DB Visualizer or any other free database admin tool, why make it into a servlet unless it REALLY has to be web accessible?

This 'tip' might be appropriate for a junior developer or someone new to java/jdbc. I am a bit shocked to see that the tip is the lead article on javaworld! I really miss the old days of javaworld. For now artima.com will have to do (until javaworld can entice more authors to submit articles).

Oops! I am amazed to see such a "TIP". I am also worried Javaworld quality is coming down so drastically (probably after those paid service announcements). Please..This is not worthy of a facing article.

Sorry guys but seems like that there are very many arrogant people in this world. I thought the tip was a nice reminder of what I knew but hey, what's the matter ripping the poor author to pieces? Please just for the sake that you all are super java gurus and sometimes want to share some insights in an article I hope people will be more polite to you than you are. Anyways thanks to the author.

Well said, that man. [Re: dbeisert]

The article was simple and addressed a particular usage of Java.

Waste of my time [Re: Vince_O_Sullivan]
      #3660 - 11/06/03 04:22 AM

No offence, but I agree with those who say the article is a waste of time. A tip tells you how to do some 'a little more clever than average'. This is just explaining part of an API than anyone could of written and not up to the standard of past JavaWorld LEAD articles. And why would you want to write a servlet to expose your dB structure? At least justify what you are doing.

The arcticle would have been better comparing dB admin tools and maybe mentioning this API instead?

Sheer waste of time [Re: Anonymous]
      #3869 - 11/13/03 03:14 AM

I still could not get what the tip is. Seems the author is new to Java. Infact, I managed to download the source code and tried to find what's contained within. Shocked to see the coding style and the quality of the code is very poor. Think he's an amateur. How can be a 'Senior Systems Engineer'. Quite strange. F***!!

Wow this is a very good tip. Why don't you give this tip to 4 month old kids?

I know nothing about Java and just stumbled across this discussion looking for other informaton on databases. But thanks -- I learned that most of you guys are an arrogant and rude bunch of idiots. If the information is not useful to you, ignore it. If you can do better, go ahead and author an article yourself. Typical sexually frustrated egghead developer attitudes.

This is an utterly useless tip.
