Retrieving column metadata over database link

http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1434437



props.put("includeSynonyms", true);
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectUrl, props);

I'm using the most recent Oracle thin JDBC driver. Then to get the columns for my synonym:

meta = conn.getMetaData();
rs = meta.getColumns(null, "MY_DB", "MY_SYN", "%");
