JDBC ResultSet get columns with table alias

Question

Imagine I have a query like

SELECT * from table1 a, table2 b where (WHATEVER)

Maybe both tables have the same column name. So I though it

Answer 1

ResultSetMetadata.getColumnLabel() is what you need

(edit) sample example, as stated by bharal in comment

SELECT * from table1 a, table2 b where (WHATEVER)

ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rset.getMetaData();
rsmd.getColumnLabel(1);
