RE: SQL problem with Java -- JDBC driver seems to be turningmixedcase names into UPPERCASE

If an alias, alternative name, is specified and it is mixed case then it
appears to be enclosed in double qoutes. See original e-mail.

This morning I duplicated the problem I am seeing with Java / JDBC on the
green screen using QM and interactive SQL.

When using QM to run a query the alias / alternative name must be enclosed
in double quotes. For example:

SELECT
-- Columns
A."xfrCtrlKey", A."xfrType", A."xfrSendRcv", A."xfrId", A."ifsPath",

A."fileRegex"
-- Tables
FROM "SYSMONDB"/"XFRCTL00" A

Removing the double quotes from the library and file doesn't seem to cause
a problem.

Removing the double quotes from the field/column names causes a problem.

SELECT
-- Columns
A.xfrCtrlKey, A.xfrType, A.xfrSendRcv, A.xfrId, A.ifsPath,
A.fileRegex

Gives this error:
Column FILEREGEX not in table XFRCTL00 in SYSMONDB.

See how the SQL engine upper cased the column name fileRegex?

I am trying to use Ibasis to map DS/400 SQL tables to Java objects. I ran
into this problem.

Circling back to my original questoin, is there a property or something in
the JDBC which would allow mixed case column names without enclosing them
in double qoutes?.

[SQL0206] Column DUEDAY4WEEKENDACTION not in specified tables.

Because the column name is actually "dueDay4WeekendAction"

Are you saying column names on the 400 are case sensitive?
