RE: What is metadata?
A single application can have one or more connections with a single database, or it can have connections with many different databases.A user can get information about a Connection object's database by invoking the Connection.getMetaData method. This method returns a DatabaseMetaData object that contains information about the database's tables, the SQL grammar it supports, its stored procedures, the capabilities of this connection, and so on.
