Question

I have the following statement :

 PreparedStatement prpStat = conn
                    .prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM natperson WHERE name LIKE ?");
            prpStat.setString(1, "A");
            ParameterMetaData pmd = prpStat.getParameterMetaData();
            ResultSet rs = prpStat.executeQuery();

and i get the following excepting when i execute the the prpStat.getParameterMetaData(); method with ojdbc7.jar. The exception is not thrown when using ojdbc6.

java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00904: "NAMEIKE": ungültiger Bezeichner

Any ideas how to solve this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

An Oracle Bug addresses the issue where the LIKE operator causes a problem in the parser:
Bug 18590786

This bug was also referenced in a similar Oracle Bug:
Bug 18644587 : ORACLEPARAMETERMETADATAPARSER GENERATES BAD STATEMENT FOR A UNION

It is not clear whether the fix is generally available yet.

OTHER TIPS

Maybe a little too late, but a workaround to this is to qualify the field before the LIKE with double quotes like below:

SELECT * FROM natperson WHERE "NAME" LIKE ?
