SQLServer connection in Connection Navigator doesn't display any tables ...

Question

I connect to a SQLServer DB using the steps described in the help and I can query tables just fine, but when I click on the Tables or Views, I see nothing.
I can start up a SQL worksheet and get data from the database just fine.
I can also connect using the JDBC/ODBC driver and see the tables just fine.
My connection string looks like:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://credent.hsys.local:1433;databasename=echo_test
Is this a bug in 10.1.3 of JDev?

Answer 1

I'm using the SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 version 2.2.0040
. I haven't tried the 2005 beta.
I am setting up the connection using 'Third Party JDBC Driver'. If I change the connection information to use the JDBC-ODBC bridge instead of the SQL Server JDBC driver, I see the tables.
Here's the steps:
1) create a new connection using the connection wizard.
2) Name the connection Echo_test and choose Third party JDBC driver
3) put in the username and password
4) Create a new driver class for SQL server com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
5) Use that connection and put in the URL jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://credent.hsys.local:1433;databasename=echo_test
6) Test the connection and finish.
7) go to the connection navigator Database node, and expand "Echo_test"
8) go to the dbo schema node and expand that.
9) go to the Tables node and try to expand that - no tables show (although there is a delay as if a query is being run).
10) try the same thing with the Views node - same results.
Next I changed the connection to use the JDBC-ODBC driver by changing the driver & connection:
1) Add a new driver class sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
2) use that class and change the URL to jdbc:odbc:echo_test
3) Go back to the connection navigator and expand "Echo_test" (no schemas display).
4) change the filter to include the dbo schema
5) Now when I expand the dbo/Tables, I see all the tables.
