Category: JBossCMP Group: v3.0 Rabbit Hole Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Peter Levart (plevart) Assigned to: Dain Sundstrom (dsundstrom) Summary: JDBCStartCommand.tableExists() Oracle Initial Comment: This is not realy a bug, rather a workarround for a peculiarity of the Oracle DB using thin JDBC driver. When deploying Entity Beans on Oracle (using thin driver - I haven't tried with the full blown native version), the JDBCStartCommand.tableExists() incorrectly returns false when the table already exists and deployment later fails when JBoss is trying to create the table. The problem is that table names in Oracle DB seem to be UPPER CASE ONLY. But the java.sql.DatabaseMetadata.getTables() that is used in JDBCStartCommand.tableExists() to check for the existense of a particular table, uses a tableNamePattern that performs a case-sensitive search. So if you specify the table name as "SomeBean" then the actual table created on the 1st deployment would be "SOMEBEAN" and later deployments will fail. One workarround is to simply use UPPER CASE ONLY names for tables when deploying on Oracle, the other would be for JDBCStartCommand.tableExists() to check for the existence of table with exact given name and for a table with an UPPER CASE NAME. I'm including the later as a patch attached to the bug report... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stephen Coy (scoy) Date: 2002-04-07 13:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=463096 Here's an alternative patch that exploits the database metadata to check if case conversion is needed for identifiers. However, I agree that this is really a bug in the Oracle implementation of 'getTables'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=376685&aid=533686&group_id=22866 _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
