JDBC Metadata

Greetings...

Is it possible to access JDBC metadata through iBatis?  For example, if
I want to check to see if a particular table exists in a database?

Thanks in advance!

iBATIS does not deal with database metadata at all.

On some systems you can do a query like "select * from systables where
table-name='sometable'", you could run that through iBATIS.  But even so,
it's probably better to write to the DatabaseMetaData interface - more
portable.
