Cannot retrieve database metadata for Sybase [SPR-6053]

[spring-projects-issues]

Balaji Varanasi opened SPR-6053 and commented

When executing a Sybase stored procedure using SimpleJdbcCall class, the database metadata is not being loaded. The logs show the following messages:

org.springframework.jdbc.core.metadata.CallMetaDataProviderFactory - SQL Server is not one of the databases fully supported for procedure calls -- supported are: [Apache Derby, DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase]
org.springframework.jdbc.core.metadata.CallMetaDataProviderFactory - Metadata processing disabled - you must specify all parameters explicitly
org.springframework.jdbc.core.metadata.CallMetaDataProviderFactory - Using org.springframework.jdbc.core.metadata.GenericCallMetaDataProvider

After little research, I found that our Sybase database is named "SQL Server" and the commonDatabaseName method in JdbcUtils being used to get the database name compares against the string "sql server".

This problem gets fixed if the comparison with "sql server" is done without considering the case.

I'm making this change. Haven't been able to get your specific variant during testing. What db and driver version are you using?

I am using the BEA's Sybase Driver (Type 4) Versions:11.x, 12.x that comes with Weblogic 10.3. The driver class name is: weblogic.jdbc.sybase.SybaseDriver

And here is the db information I got from DBA: Adaptive Server Enterprise/15.0.2/EBF 15961 ESD#6/P/RS6000/AIX 5.2/ase1502/2537/64-bit/FBO/Thu Oct 2 00:22:14 2008
