Suppose you were asked to define a class MetaDisplay in Java, containing a method static void printTable(String r); the method takes a relation name r as input, executes the query “SELECT * FROM r”, and prints the result out in tabular format, with the attribute names displayed in the header of the table.

  1. What do you need to know about relation r to be able to print the result in the specified tabular format?
  2. What JDBC methods(s) can get you the required information?
  3. Write the method printTable(String r) using the JDBC API.
