Comment 2 Andrei Badea 2005-06-15 16:09:03 UTC 
I can experience it, but randomly. It looks like a timing problem, most probably
in the Pointbase JDBC driver. This driver seems quite buggy -- for example I've
experienced DatabaseMetaData.getCatalogs() or getTables() returning null, which
is illegal.
Comment 3 Andrei Badea 2005-06-15 16:15:43 UTC 
I commited an attempt to workaround. Please test and let me know if it seems to
help.

Checking in DDLBridge.java;

Comment 4 Petr Blaha 2005-06-29 08:42:48 UTC 
I see the exception in NB build 20050628. It seems that workaround doesn't work :-(
Comment 5 Andrei Badea 2005-10-17 17:53:58 UTC 
Petre, are you still seeing this issue? I haven't seen it for a long time, and
the issue could be a duplicate of issue 66010 (although they produce different
results, I think the issues have the same cause).
Comment 6 Petr Blaha 2005-10-20 15:17:42 UTC 
I can't reproduce this issue neither issue #66010 in build 20051019.
Comment 7 Petr Blaha 2006-03-13 13:32:13 UTC 
TM 5.0 -> TBD
Comment 8 Andrei Badea 2006-05-25 17:10:27 UTC 
I still believe this is caused by a bug in the PointBase driver. Since we don't
use PointBase as the default database, the user impact is low, so downgrading to P4.

Reassigned to new owner.

This bug is _very_ old. I had a look at the source code. After the proposed fix from  Andrei Badea about four years later the whole block is now protected by a try-catch. This should catch also this problem.

Closing as fixed - feel free to reopen if the problem is reproducible.
