Paul Foxworthy updated OFBIZ-7129:
----------------------------------
Description:
In framework/entity/src/org/ofbiz/entity/jdbc/DatabaseUtil.java, the
getTableNames method looks for table types of "TABLE", "VIEW", "ALIAS" and
"SYNONYM"
(https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/ofbiz/trunk/framework/entity/src/org/ofbiz/entity/jdbc/DatabaseUtil.java?r=1644354#to989).
MariaDB produces a table type of "BASE TABLE", so OFBiz didn't detect the
tables were there, and attempted to create them. In fact, the tables do exist
so the create failed.
The JDBC docs suggest that plain "TABLE" is a "typical" value for table type
(https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getTables-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String:A-)
But it seems "BASE TABLE" is more standards compliant - see for example
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt page 576. I assume
some JDBC drivers transform "BASE TABLE" to plain "TABLE", but the MariaDB one
does not.
I've attached a patch so OFBiz will recognise "BASE TABLE" if that's what it
receives in the metadata.
