Quick start

try (var connection = dataSource.getConnection()) {
    var context = Context.newInstance(connection);

    // Get all catalogs
    List<Catalog> catalogs = context.getCatalogs();

    // Get all tables (null = don't filter)
    List<Table> tables = context.getTables(null, null, "%", null);

    // Get columns for a specific table
    List<Column> columns = context.getColumns("my_catalog", "my_schema", "my_table", "%");
}

See the wiki for more examples, catalog/schema null handling, and per-driver notes.
