I need to be able to retrieve database information from any type of database and return this information via a restful service (using Glassfish and JAX-RS).
The information I need includes:
- Database names
- Table names
- Column names and properties
I am currently looking into DatabaseMetaData and seems to provide what I require.
However, I wanted to check if there are alternatives I should be considering (such as JPA2).
Any pointers would be appreciated
