DatabaseMetaData getColumns/getIndexInfo : what is 'valid' input?

[persistability]

Hi,

tried accessing table/column/index info using DatabaseMetaData.getColumns and DatabaseMetaData.getIndexInfo and simply receive unintelligible exceptions. I am wondering what is "valid" input data for catalogName, schemaName etc for these methods. Can anyone help? I'm using 3.8.5-pre1 (the latest in Maven Central).

I performed the following

CREATE TABLE SCHEMA_TABLE_1

(

    TABLE1_ID1 bigint NOT NULL,

    TABLE1_ID2 bigint NOT NULL,

    "NAME" TEXT(255) NULL,

    OTHER_ID bigint NULL,

    CONSTRAINT TABLE1_PK PRIMARY KEY (TABLE1_ID1,TABLE1_ID2)

);

CREATE INDEX SCHEMA_TABLE_1_N49 ON SCHEMA_TABLE_1 (OTHER_ID);

and committed the connection.

Using DatabaseMetaData.getIndexInfo(conn, null, null, "SCHEMA_TABLE_1", false, true) I am getting

java.sql.SQLException: [SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (near "0": syntax error)

    at org.sqlite.core.DB.newSQLException(DB.java:901)

    at org.sqlite.jdbc3.JDBC3Statement.executeQuery(JDBC3Statement.java:71)

    at org.sqlite.jdbc3.JDBC3DatabaseMetaData.getIndexInfo(JDBC3DatabaseMetaData.java:1532)

I got the same thing passing "" for catalog/schema.

Using DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(conn, null, null, null, null); I am getting the even more pleasant

java.lang.NullPointerException

    at org.sqlite.core.CoreDatabaseMetaData.escape(CoreDatabaseMetaData.java:182)

    at org.sqlite.jdbc3.JDBC3DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(JDBC3DatabaseMetaData.java:1114)

Any ideas? 

TIA
