In oracle what ever the case we use while creating object name, the data dict willbe updated in upper case.
eg: emp/Emp/EMP are all same for oracle. (if table is created without double quotes. eg: create table emp (col1 , col2 ..) But in any case if we want to create any object with specific case we have to put them in double quotes. Next time when you query the object you have to use the same convention. eg: "emp" / "Emp" / "EMP" are different one from the other. create table "emp" (col1 col2 ....) if you select select * from emp; you cant see anything. you have to select selecdt * from "emp"; HTH Srinivas -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 3:26 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Mark, I am a really confused with your last statement. "Have you tried either of the following: select * from "tblBundleCon"; select * from 'tblBundleCon'; If you really did create them in lower and upper case, this could be your problem. Enclosing the table names in double quotes usually solves this.." Would you or someone else elaborate on this, pleeaassee? Are we still talking Oracle here???? -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 7:25 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Jyoti, Did you create the tables as SYSTEM? One thing I will say is that *YOU SHOULD NOT DO THIS*. When creating objects as SYSTEM, these objects will be stored in the SYSTEM tablespace - which is not a good idea. As system, create another tablespace (if one does not already exist), create a new user, with a default tablespace of the new tablespace, and use this user (with the appropriate system/object privileges) to create your tables/indexes/objects. On to another point about your mail - the password for SYSTEM is actually the default. How about changing that for security reasons? This may just be a test box, but there's nothing like good safe practice. Back to the original question: Who were you logged on as when you created the tables? Where did you create them? (tablespace). Have you tried either of the following: select * from "tblBundleCon"; select * from 'tblBundleCon'; If you really did create them in lower and upper case, this could be your problem. Enclosing the table names in double quotes usually solves this..
