So I was able to get the following to work 
```try (ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("select  foo.a.i,public.a.i from foo.a, a;")) {
                    ResultSetMetaData metaData = resultSet.getMetaData();
                    String schema1 = metaData.getSchemaName(1);
                    String table1 = metaData.getTableName(1);
                    System.out.println("Column 1 is from table: " + table1 + " Schema: " + schema1);
                    String schema2 = metaData.getSchemaName(2);
                    String table2 = metaData.getTableName(2);
                    System.out.println("Column 2 is from table: " + table2 + " Schema: " + schema2);
```
the output
```
Column 1 is from table: a Schema: foo
Column 2 is from table: a Schema: public
```

with the following change 
```diff --git a/pgjdbc/src/main/java/org/postgresql/jdbc/PgResultSetMetaData.java b/pgjdbc/src/main/java/org/postgresql/jdbc/PgResultSetMetaData.java

Seems this is not that difficult. One question though. Do we want to return `public` or just leave it empty ?
