public static void executeGetTablePrivileges(Connection con) {
   try {
      DatabaseMetaData dbmd = con.getMetaData();

      ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();

      // Display the result set data.
      int cols = rsmd.getColumnCount();
      while(rs.next()) {
         for (int i = 1; i <= cols; i++) {
            System.out.println(rs.getString(i));
         }
