E F Codd's fifth rule (rule no. 4) says that to be a relational

So, the JDBC standard doesn't need to provide any methods for
querying for a list of schemas as SQL itself already has defined
them.

Or to quote an old exchange between Groucho and Margaret Dumont,

"I'm fascinated too. Right here on the arm."
