Hi Nic,
The "." is used to separate identifiers in valid SQL names. For a schema
object like a procedure, the name can have only one dot in it. The piece
before the dot identifies a unique schema in the database and the piece
after the dot identifies a unique procedure name inside that schema. The
compiler doesn't know what to do with the second dot. The compiler
doesn't know if you are trying to create a procedure named
"CUSTOM.IPAPOST_MESSAGE.IPA_POST_AXIOSS_RESPONSE" in the current schema
or a procedure named "IPA_POST_AXIOSS_RESPONSE" in the
"CUSTOM.IPA.POST_MESSAGE" schema or a procedure named
"IPA_POST_MESSAGE.IPA_POST_AXIOSS_RES" in the "CUSTOM" schema. If you
double quote the whole name, then the compiler will not be confused:
CREATE PROCEDURE
"custom.ipa_post_message.ipa_post_axioss_response" ...
If you do this, then whenever you invoke the procedure, you must invoke
it using the double quoted name. E.g.,:
CALL "custom.ipa_post_message.ipa_post_axioss_response" (...)
Hope this helps,
-Rick

I am using apache derby in my unit testing. Consequently I need to
create some stored procedures that will basically do the minimum and
behave as expected. Therefore I am restricted to using exactly the same
parameters and name for my stored procedures.
One such procedure I am trying to create is as follows
stat = con.createStatement();
stat.execute("CREATE PROCEDURE
custom.ipa_post_message.ipa_post_axioss_response(IN pin_activity_id INT,
IN pis_message_id INT, IN pis_response VARCHAR(50), IN pis_status
VARCHAR(50), OUT pis_return VARCHAR(50)) parameter style java language
java external name
'net.thus.unittest.DBHelper.storedProc_ipa_post_axioss_response'");
It complains about a syntax error at the position of the second '.' .
If I replace the second '.' with a '_' everything works fine. As I say
I have no influence of the procedure names is this DB is run and
developed by a third party. Anybody know of a fix/workaround for this?
Many Thanks
Nic
