Description:
The DatabaseMetaData.getTables() should list in rs.getString(5) the table remarks, but it does not. Please check this. We use this to maintain a  documented database schema in the databases.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getTables(java.la...])

How to repeat:
We issue 
ALTER TABLE sakila.film COMMENT 'sample comment'

and then call DatabaseMetaData.getTables() and read the remarks.
