Description:
The DatabaseMetaData.getTables() method should return remarks in rs.getString(5). This is not working.
For columns works fine, for the tables not.
The remarks should be the one created using :
ALTER TABLE sakila.sample COMMENT 'sample comment'

How to repeat:
ALTER TABLE sakila.sample COMMENT 'sample comment'
then call
DatabaseMetaData.getTables()
rs.getString(5)

This bug is not reproducible with the latest Connector/J 8.0.

Connector/J 5.1 series came to EOL on Feb 9th, 2021, see https://www.mysql.com/support/eol-notice.html, so this bug will not be fixed there.
