Basically, Metadata is data about data.

In context of JDBC, there may be two types of metadata.

1. Describing information about the Resultset object. i.e, if u have applied a query that fetches some result. this metadata describes information about how many columns have been fetched, their names etc.

2. Second One describes about the database connection

A single application can have one or more connections with a single database, or it can have connections with many different databases.A user can get information about a Connection object's database by invoking the Connection.getMetaData method. This method returns a DatabaseMetaData object that contains information about the database's tables, the SQL grammar it supports, its stored procedures, the capabilities of this connection, and so on.
