Hi there .....

I've ran into this problem, I need to use a LEFT OUTER JOIN, but I seem
to be getting a ClassCastException......? I am runing version 3.25 by
the way.

Here is the  query and exception:

 select *
    from NoOfColors LEFT OUTER JOIN JobEstimate ON
JobEstimate.noOfColorId = NoOfColors.noOfColorId,
              NoOfColors LEFT OUTER JOIN JobEstimate ON
JobEstimate.jobTypeId   = NoOfColors.jobTypeId

scripts/query.txt java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String
java.sql.SQLException: java.lang.String
        at org.enhydra.instantdb.db.SQLProg.execute(SQLProg.java:276)
        at
org.enhydra.instantdb.jdbc.idbStatement.execute(idbStatement.java:235)
        at
org.enhydra.instantdb.jdbc.idbStatement.executeQuery(idbStatement.java:91)

        at org.enhydra.instantdb.SampleThread.run(ScriptTool.java:587)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)

When I select count(*) she seems to behave herself..... except for the
fact that it returns one row even if there is no data in the entire
database, this I thought was a little irregular eg:

 select count(*)
    from NoOfColors LEFT OUTER JOIN JobEstimate ON
JobEstimate.noOfColorId = NoOfColors.noOfColorId,
              NoOfColors LEFT OUTER JOIN JobEstimate ON
JobEstimate.jobTypeId   = NoOfColors.jobTypeId


Here are the create scripts for the two table I  am trying to join, I
don't  know but maybe this can give you a clue or two.....

e create table JobEstimate
(
    jobEstimateId     int                    not null,
    jobTypeId         int                    not null,
    printerId         int                    not null,
    noOfColorId       int                    not null,
    sizeId            int                    not null,
    runOnQty          int                    not null,
    runOnPrice        numeric(8,2)           not null
);

e create table NoOfColors
(
    noOfColorId       int                    not null,
    jobTypeId         int                    not null,
    descr             varchar(64)            not null
);


Hopefully there is enough info here for you to recreate the exception.
Thanks in advance.....

Jon
