2	`String`	`PKTABLE_SCHEM`	Schema name of the referenced table
3	`String`	`PKTABLE_NAME`	Table name of the referenced table
4	`String`	`PKCOLUMN_NAME`	Column name of primary key
5	`String`	`FKTABLE_CAT`	Catalog name of the referencing table. The method always returns a null character string.
6	`String`	`FKTABLE_SCHEM`	Schema name of the referencing table
7	`String`	`FKTABLE_NAME`	Table name of the referencing table
