Dianne Richards updated OPENJPA-1189:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: patch.txt

Attaching patch for review and possibly commit.

This problem occurred when a column name retrieved from the DB metadata was 
passed as a parameter to the Table.getColumn(String name) to retrieve the 
Column object. The column name retrieved from the DB does not contain 
delimiters and this info apparently cannot be obtained. The Table object was 
created using input metadata from annotations and xml, and might contain 
delimiters for the Map keys. Therefore, the name might not be found. So, the 
fix is to delimit the input name if it is initially not found.

Changes were made in the Table getColumn() and containsColumn() methods to take 
DBDictionary as a parameter, from which the DB-specific delimiter is retrieved. 
However, some calling methods do not currently have access to the DBDictioinary 
and pass in null. In this scenario, the double-quote is used as the delimiter. 
While this is spec-complient, this may not work for some dbs, which is not 
good. So, I've opened jira OPENJPA-1236 to handle this in the future. I suspect 
some chaining of changes in method signatures to allow a DBDictionary parameter 
will fix this.

> The DatabaseMetaData returned by DB2 does not include delimiters for column 
> names which include whitespace. This causes potential duplicate column names 
> if we merge into an existing schema.
> The problem can be illustrated by running the 
> TestManualDelimitedJoinAnnotations test twice sequentially. The first time 
> the test is executed the database will be clean (presumably) and everything 
> will work. Subsequent executions read the existing column information from 
> the database (non delimited) and end up creating a duplicate column.
> Example stacktrace :

> To resolve the problem we can detect a column / table / schema name which 
> contains whitespace and add the appropriate delimiters (when the name is 
> provided by the database). One place to make this change is in 
> DBDictionary.newColumn() 
>     protected Column newColumn(ResultSet colMeta)
>         throws SQLException {
>         Column c = new Column();
>         c.setSchemaName(colMeta.getString("TABLE_SCHEM"));
>         c.setTableName(colMeta.getString("TABLE_NAME"));
>         c.setName(colMeta.getString("COLUMN_NAME"));  // detect whether we 
> need delimiters and add them
> It's also worth noting that the testcase drops the offending table and then 
> recreates it. There may be a larger issue where the metadata is cached 
> improperly (could be DB2 specific).
