dblook fails on TERRITORY_BASED databases

Hello everyone,

At our firm we use Derby extensively in our projects and sometimes I 
need to recreate or duplicate parts of our databases, for which I 
occasionally use dblook.

However, dblook seems to fail on territory-based databases.

We use 10.3.2.1 on both Windows and Linux for development and production 
on various JVM's and the problem seems unrelated to any of these variables.

I also tried this with a 10.4 (trunk) build, which produces the same error.

I've created small patches for myself by replacing all related queries 
in the 'tools' section with CASTs to CHARs and VARCHARs and would like 
to contribute these to the community in case anyone else can confirm 
this is a bug.

A small test case to reproduce the problem is provided below, the 
version of Derby that provides the stacktrace is 10.3.2.1.


Regards,


Stephan van Loendersloot.




Reproduction steps:

---------- 1: create_territory_db.sql  ----------

CONNECT 
'jdbc:derby://localhost/dutch;user=dutch;password=dutch;create=true;territory=nl_NL;collation=TERRITORY_BASED';

AUTOCOMMIT OFF;

CREATE TABLE AIRLINES
   (
      AIRLINE CHAR(2) NOT NULL ,
      AIRLINE_FULL VARCHAR(24),
      BASIC_RATE DOUBLE PRECISION,
      DISTANCE_DISCOUNT DOUBLE PRECISION,
      BUSINESS_LEVEL_FACTOR DOUBLE PRECISION,
      FIRSTCLASS_LEVEL_FACTOR DOUBLE PRECISION,
      ECONOMY_SEATS INTEGER,
      BUSINESS_SEATS INTEGER,
      FIRSTCLASS_SEATS INTEGER
   );

COMMIT;

 
DISCONNECT;
EXIT;

---------- 2: use dbloook ----------

dblook -d "jdbc:derby://localhost/dutch;user=dutch;password=dutch" -o 
dutch.sql

---------- 3: stacktrace ----------
