I have an application that creates tables in a derby database. Some of

use metadata to identify which "type" of table a user has selected?
Thanks
Hi Patrick,
Derby doesn't provide a mechanism to tag a table with extra metadata.
Some databases allow you to tag schema objects with comments. See
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4379. If that would solve
your problem, you may want to add a comment to that issue. You may also
want to vote for DERBY-4379 in order to boost its chances of being
addressed.
Hope this helps,
