Re: Is this a bug ?

Yes - the original stack trace.

I'm sure it's not as simple as just the ORDER BY query, but I was able to work around the problem by doing this before the order by query

// Done in a normal statement
SELECT 1 FROM table;

// This is actually done in a PreparedStatement
SELECT * FROM table WHERE keyfield = 'blah' ORDER BY secondfield ASC;

If it's there the exception isn't thrown (i.e. the correct exception about table not exists) is thrown. If it isn't there the "Unknown Command" exception is thrown
