                 Key: DERBY-1790
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1790
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JDBC
    Affects Versions: 10.1.3.1, 10.1.3.0, 10.1.2.1, 10.1.1.0, 10.2.1.0, 10.3.0.0
            Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner
            Priority: Minor


This database metadata call will not  return SYNONYMS in the schema indicated.

rs = dmd.getTables((String) null, schema, (String) null,
                new String[] {"SYNONYM"});

Work around is to pass in null as the last argument and then test for each row

"SYNONYM".equals(rs.getString("TABLE_TYPE"))

Due to code in EmbedDatabasemetaData aorund line 1721 that assume the type 
character in SYS.SYSTABLES.TABLETYPE
is equal to the first character of the JDBC TABLE_TYPE name. This is true for 
views and tables, but in the Derby system table
the character 'S' is used for system tables and 'A' for SYNONYMS.
