loading HSQL in-memory from different JVM processes

as specified in the JDBC MEtadata getTables and getColumns

/doc/src/org/hsqldb/jdbc/jdbcDatabaseMetaData.html

...
3. TABLE_NAME String => table name
...

should give you the TABLE_NAME for a given database.

However the code snipped does not:

I have tested this code with different DBMS and it works fine except for in-memory hsqldb

Any examples of how to get the tables and their column names of an in-memory hsqldb?
