I turned on the DEBUG in General and looked at the log and found that this statement returns no rows as the default. The getschemas() appears to work but when I put the sql statement listed below in another editor ( SQL developer ) I get the same result-> no rows.  Is this the wrong query or does this connection need catalog privs to read the information schemas and such



select current_database() as rule_catalog,
        n.nspname as rule_schema,
       r.rulename as rule_name,
       c.relname as rule_table,
       case r.ev_type  
         when '1' then 'SELECT'
         when '2' then 'UPDATE'
         when '3' then 'INSERT'
         when '4' then 'DELETE'
         else 'UNKNOWN'
       end as rule_event,
       pg_get_ruledef(r.oid, true) as definition,
       d.description as remarks
from pg_rewrite r  
  join pg_class c on r.ev_class = c.oid
  left join pg_namespace n on n.oid = c.relnamespace
  left join pg_description d on r.oid = d.objoid
 WHERE n.nspname = 'ext_pmpx_tables'
 AND not (c.relkind in ('v','m') and r.ev_type = '1')
 ORDER BY 1, 2

I do realize that usually only the tables section of a Redshift schema is returned even though RedShift now has various forms of views.
The tables part of the db Tree did work with Oracles SQL developer.  I can try to dig what query it used, and SQL developer used the Postgres driver instead of the amazon one

SQL Workbench uses a standard JDBC API call to get the tables and columns.

Before calling getTables() the driver is asked for the "types" of objects the database supports, and those values are then e.g. used in the DB Explorer to populate the different nodes. The type returned by the driver is then used to get a list of those types.

If it doesn't work with Redshift, then apparently the Redshift JDBC driver either has a bug, or doesn't work as other JDBC drivers.

I realize that Redshift doesn't presrnta full set of DB objects like views, doesn't support indexes... however the table list came through with dbBeaver and SQL Developer.  Therefore it is not the driver rather SQL workbench interface with driver
