Hey Eric,

If you use this after getting the connection it will write out the names of your
tables

    try{
      ResultSet r = con.getMetaData().getTables(null,null,null,new
String[]{"TABLE"});

      while (r.next())
        System.out.println(r.getString("TABLE_NAME"));

    }
    catch (Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace();
    }




Regards,
Martin

Subject:  InstantDB: Not finding my tables?



Using Windows 2000, Tomcat, jdk1.3

I can start the database without a problem but when I try to query my
database
I gives me an error:
java.sql.SQLException: Table not found: Client

my sql is just "Select Rights FROM Client"

My table does exist with a row of data.

My connection settings:

   Class.forName( "org.enhydra.instantdb.jdbc.idbDriver" );
   _conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:idb:c:\\Projects\\SupportCentral\\Database\\SupportCentral.prp", "",
"" );

is where the database is located:

my autoexec.bat is as follows:

SET TOMCAT_HOME=c:\Tomcat
SET JarPath=c:\java\jar
SET SupportCentralPath=c:\Projects\SupportCentral
SET
CLASSPATH=.;%JarPath%\Opta2000.jar;%JarPath%\xalan.jar;%JarPath%\xerces.jar;
%JarPath%\idb.jar;%SupportCentralPath%\Database;
SET JAVA_HOME=c:\java\jdk
SET PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;

Any ideas on why I can start it but Instant db cant find the tables:

my prp settings:

!
! BASIC PROPERTIES
!
!---------------------------------------------------------------------

!
! Path where index tables are held. Can be absolute or relative
! to the properties file. Defaults to tablePath.
!
!indexPath=./indexes
!
! Path where system tables are held. Can be absolute or relative to
! the properties file. Defaults to tablePath.
!
!systemPath=./system
!
! Path where database tables are held. Can be absolute or relative
! to the properties file. Defaults to "current" directory.
!
!tablePath=./tables
!
! Path where results set tables are held. Can be absolute or relative
! to the properties file. Defaults to tablePath.
!
!tmpPath=./tmp
!
! Non-zero means paths are relative to the properties file.
! Default is absolute paths for files.
!
!relativeToProperties=1
!
! Alternative partitions can be defined so that tables can be placed
! in multiple locations. Each partition is numbered: 1, 2, 3,... Tables
! can be created on partitions using the syntax
!
!   CREATE TABLE <name> ON PARTITION <number>...
!
! The partition count has to be supplied.
!
!partitionCount=2
!
! The locations of each partition must be supplied. These are always
! absolute path names.
!
!partition1=d:/petes
!partition2=c:/temp


!---------------------------------------------------------------------
!
! TUNING PROPERTIES
!
!---------------------------------------------------------------------

!
! The amount of each column to cache, expressed either as an absolute
! number of rows or as a percentage figure. Defaults to 256 or 10
respectively.
!
! This value applies only when tables are first created. It has no effect
! when a table is being re-opened.
!
!cacheAmount=512
!
! CACHE_ROWS Must be one of CACHE_ROWS or CACHE_PERCENT. Determines whether
! to cache columns in tables based on an absolute number of rows, or the
! percentage number of rows in the table.
!
! This value applies only when tables are first created. It has no effect
! when a table is being re-opened.
!
!cacheCondition=CACHE_ROWS
!
! The amount of the system tables to be cached. Defaults to 100.
!
! This value applies only when tables are first created. It has no effect
! when a table is being re-opened.
!
!systemCacheSize=10
!
! Similar to cacheCondition, but applies only to the system tables.
!
! This value applies only when tables are first created. It has no effect
! when a table is being re-opened.
!
!systemCacheCondition=CACHE_ROWS
!
! The percentage cache hit improvement required in order to move the
! cache to a new location in a column.
!
! (Currently not implemented).
!
!cacheResetPercent=10
!
! Non-zero means that database changes do not get written to the
! database immediately. See tuning.html.
!
!fastUpdate=0
!
! Percentage of free space in an index that must be present before
! the index reorganises itself. High values means frequent index
! reorganisation. Low values means slow index inserts.
!
!indexLoad=5
!
! The number of cache misses to include in calculations of the next
! base for the cache.
!
! (Currently not implemented).
!
!missesInCacheStats=100
!
! Non-zero means that results sets get instantiated on disk. By default
! InstantDB holds results sets emtirely in memory (apart from Binary
! columns). For large results sets this can be a problem. This property
! forces all results sets to be held on disk.
!
!resultsOnDisk=0
!
! Similar to cacheCondition but applies only to disk based
! results sets. Default is CACHE_ROWS.
!
!resultsSetCache=CACHE_ROWS
!
! Similar to cacheAmount but applies only to disk based
! results sets. Default is 100.
!
!resultsSetCacheAmount=100
!
! Number of rows to read into the disk read ahead buffer.
! Recommended to be set somewhere around 128 to 256.
! Default is 20.
!
!rowCacheSize=128
!
! The read ahead buffer is effective at speeding up full
! table scans. However for indexed lookups or multiple
! simultaneous scans it is better to read a single row at
! a time. Each table holds a small number of single row
! buffers to improve such operations. Default is 8.
!
!singleRowCount=4
!
! Sometimes the look ahead buffer can be held by a single
! thread even though it is not retrieveing many values from it.
! If too many lookups retrieve data from the single row
! buffers then it is better to flush the look ahead buffer and
! make it available for re-use. Default is 128.
!
!flushAfterCacheMisses=64
!
! Number of rows to read ahead for system tables. By default
! system tables cache everything, so it is wasteful to have large
! read ahead buffers since they will very rarely be used. This
! allows the size of the system read ahead buffers to be reduced
! if necessary. Defaults to rowCacheSize.
!
!systemRows=20
!
! The control column in all tables normally has a large cache
! since this speeds up all operation on that table. This can be
! varied to either improve performance or to reduce space.
! default is 8192.
!
! This value applies only when tables are first created. It has no effect
! when a table is being re-opened.
!
!controlColCacheSize=512
!
! By default, InstantDB only does a cursory search for deleted rows during
! UPDATE statements. Setting searchDeletes=1 causes more detailed searches
! for deleted rows. This slows down UPDATE executions, but reults in more
! compact tables.  Default is 0.
!
!searchDeletes=0
!
! The interval, in milliseconds, between checks for statement execution
! timeouts. Default is 5000.
!
!timerCheck=5000

altStringHashing=0

!
! Set to 1 to cause LIKE clauses to always perform case insensitive
! comparisons.
!

likeIgnoreCase=1

!
! Same as SET LITERAL STRICT_ON. Prevents string literals being interpreted
! as column names or numbers. Default is 0.
!
!strictLiterals=0
!
! Set this value to 1 (one) if you would like PreparedStatement.setString()
! to ignore "\" (backslash) characters when proceesing string constants.
! When set, InstantDB will not attempt to interpret \ as the start of an
! escape sequence. Default is 0.
!
!prepareIgnoresEscapes=1

!---------------------------------------------------------------------
!
! MISCELLANEOUS PROPERTIES
!
!---------------------------------------------------------------------

!
! Allows selected InstantDB keywords to be un-reserved.
! e.g. ignoreKeywords=url,quote would allow the keywords

! It's use is not recommended AND IS NOT SUPPORTED.
!
!ignoreKeywords
!
! Non-zero means database is opened in read only mode.
