如何使用Java中的SQL查询列出MSAccess数据库文件中所有表的名称？

Question

I've getting some code here

String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=" + f.getPath() + ";";
                    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
                    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
                    Statement st=conn.createStatement();
                    String query="SELECT name FROM MSysObjects WHERE Type=1 AND Flags=0";
                    ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery(query);
                    ArrayList<String> tableNames=new ArrayList<String>();
                    while(rs.next()){
                        String name=rs.getString(1);
                        tableNames.add(name);
                    }

but there has some problem

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'MSysObjects'."

and I searched for this problem and Just found this: social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/… " Because MSysObjects is a system table in Access, the Admin user does not have permission to read data in it". I read the answer, but in fact, I want to access permission by programming, does anyone can help me? Thank you very much

Answer 1

Seems that Access does not allow to query MSysObjects . Did you follow the steps in the article to give your user the adequate permission?

Anyway JDBC also has an own API which allows you to read database metadata:

 Connection conn = ...
 DatabaseMetaData metaData = conn.getMetaData();
 ResultSet rs = metaData.getTables(null, null, "%", null); 
 while (rs.next()) {
      String name = rs.getString(3); // see javadoc of DatabaseMetaData
      tableNames.add(name);
 }
