DatabaseMetaData Pattern Parameters

Methods of the DatabaseMetaData interface that take arguments that are string patterns, it should be noted that the pattern "%" are matched only when used by itself.

Here is an example:
Code Snippet Returns
getTables(null, null, "%", null) a ResultSet containing all tables in the data grid
getTables(null, null, "table%", null) an empty ResultSet as "%" is not used by itself for the pattern argument
