Names() = Connection.Tables/Queries.ElementNames

Is this what you mean?

Yes, that's a long-standing bug. The API was originally designed (years
ago) after JDBC. In Java, there in fact is the concept of a string
variable being NULL, while in UNO, a string can never be NULL - it must
be an Any then, which can be VOID.

Unfortunately, since UNO API must be stable, we cannot change this
anymore. I really would like to do so - using this method, and similar
ones, always requires special handling.

Ciao
