Ok, thanks, I see. However, from what I read in the thread the
question in the mail that you referenced, as to why
PGResultSetMetadata does not extend ResultSetMetadata, and as a result
the getTableName method is mapped onto getBaseTableName, is still
valid IMO. Especially if the information seems to be readily
available. Would you consider this change for an upcoming release ?
