You should be able to do it with cfobject and the JDBC drivers using 
metadata.  something like:


   <cfscript>
   url  = "jdbc:pointbase:cfsnippets,database.home=/opt/coldfusionmx/db";
   user = "PBPUBLIC";
   pass = "PBPUBLIC";
   foo  = CreateObject("java","com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver");
   con  = foo.getConnection(url, user, pass);
   dbmd = con.getMetaData( );
   allTables = dbmd.getTables(null,null,null,tableTypes);

   *
   *
   *

   </cfscript>


The problem is that CF has no concept of a null value, so you can't 
pass a null in the statement:

     allTables = dbmd.getTables(null,null,null,tableTypes);

And, if you are restricted to CFMX only, you are SOL!
