Err, all I was suggesting in that mail was that PGResultSetMetadata
extend ResultSetMetaData so you can do this:

PGResultSetMetadata md = (PGResultSetMetadata)rs.getMetaData();
String baseName = md.getBaseTableName(...);
String aliasName = md.getTableName(...);

Currently you can't do that because PGResultSetMetadata has no
getTableName() method; you have to sometimes deal with the standard
interface and sometimes with the extension interface, depending on the
method you call.

It would not change the behaviour of getBaseTableName or getTableName()
at all; it's merely a syntactic convenience.

I'm not sure what you thought I meant, but it was obviously something
different :)
