----------------------------------------
> What is this Error says that, expected:<[&]> but was:<[TYPE]>
Hi Eranda. The '&' symbol is actually NOT the name of the column. Rather, it
is a result of running the old test in "ij". The "ij" tool has some special
rules about
column names, and if the column name is a reserved word, "ij" prints "&" instead
of printing the column name. And if the column name is long, ij truncates the
column
name and prints "&" at the point where it did the truncation.
You can see the actual column names in this case by looking in the Derby
reference manual. Here, we can see in altertable.out that we have just done a
'select * from sys.sysconstraints', so we just need to look up SYSCONSTRAINTS
in the reference manual at:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.5/ref/rrefsistabs23241.html
and there you can see that the actual column names are:
CONSTRAINTID, TABLEID, CONSTRAINTNAME, TYPE, SCHEMAID, STATE, REFERENCECOUNT
So to fix this, all you need to do is to change the ALterTableTest.java at line
2460 to
use the correct column names instead of the names with the '&' in them.
There will be a number of places in AlterTableTest.java where you have to make
this
change, but it's pretty mechanical, so hopefully once you see how to make the
change
in one location, you can make the similar change throughout the test program.
