Re: Problems migrating from Progress 9.1D05 to Mysql 4.1.9 using generic jdbc

[Michael G. Zinner]

I had to add calls to getDatabaseMajorVersion(), getDatabaseMinorVersion() and getDatabaseProductVersion() of the DatabaseMetaData interface.

These seem to cause problems with the progress odbc driver that appears to be buggy.

A quick workaround would be to comment this try block out in .\java\com\mysql\grt\modules\ReverseEngineeringGeneric.java and recompile it.

public static Version getVersion(com.mysql.grt.db.mgmt.Connection dbConn)
throws Exception {
...
Version versionInfo = new Version(null);

/*try {
versionInfo.setName(conn.getMetaData().getDatabaseProductVersion());
versionInfo.setMajor(conn.getMetaData().getDatabaseMajorVersion());
versionInfo.setMinor(conn.getMetaData().getDatabaseMinorVersion());
} catch (Exception e) {
// ignore exceptions if the driver does not support the version functions
}*/

return versionInfo;
}

But let me check if i can add a general option to disable the version check.
