How can I list all tables in a database with Squirrel SQL?

Question

I use Squirrel SQL to connect to a JavaDB/Derby database on my desktop. I can run SQL queries.

But how can I list all tables in the database? And preferably all column a

Answer 1

Sometimes I noticed that doing the above may not result in the tables showing. Before I figured this out, my table node will not be expandable and I can never get a list of the tables.

After a lot of searching on the internet, I learnt that you need to choose the schema from the catalog drop down box located at the upper left portion of the squirrel sql client before the icons to be able to get the table list for that particular schema.

Hope that helps.
