[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (DDLUTILS-199) Postgress AutoIncrement fails

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DDLUTILS-199?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12601890#action_12601890 ]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Without double quotes, case insensitivity seems to work by translating everything to lowercase. My table names are case-sensitive however ('Entity') and thus cannot be found if not using double quotes:

xldoc=# SELECT nextval('Entity_id_seq');
ERROR:  relation "entity_id_seq" does not exist

xldoc=# SELECT nextval('"Entity_id_seq"');
 nextval
---------
       2
(1 row)



On an empty database (case sensitivity turned on), I get this debug output:

0    [Timer-3] DEBUG org.apache.ddlutils.platform.postgresql.PostgreSqlPlatform - About to execute SQL
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Entity
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATE SEQUENCE "Entity_id_seq"
10   [Timer-3] DEBUG org.apache.ddlutils.platform.postgresql.PostgreSqlPlatform  - After execution, 0 row(s) have been changed
10   [Timer-3] DEBUG org.apache.ddlutils.platform.postgresql.PostgreSqlPlatform  - About to execute SQL CREATE TABLE "Entity"
(
    "id" BIGINT NOT NULL UNIQUE DEFAULT nextval('Entity_id_seq'),
...
)
failed with: ERROR: relation "entity_id_seq" does not exist

The sequence is created using the case-sensitive "Entity_id_seq", but subsequently accessed using the case-insensitive nextval('Entity_id_seq'). Because insensitivity is implemented by translating everything to lowercase, the sequence is not found. As far as I can see, this is a bug that can be fixed by the proposed code change.

> encloses the parameter of nextval in single quotes. 
> print("UNIQUE DEFAULT nextval('");

> which in my case generates
> UNIQUE DEFAULT nextval('Entity_id_seq')
> The underscore is a 'special' character, so the string Entity_id_seq needs to be in double quotes. The fix is simple but tricky: the single quotes MUST remain! My local fix (notice the escaped double quote \" twice):
> /**
> * {@inheritDoc}
> */
> protected void writeColumnAutoIncrementStmt(Table table, Column column) throws IOException
> {
>     print("UNIQUE DEFAULT nextval('\"");
>     print(getConstraintName(null, table, column.getName(), "seq"));
>     print("\"')");
> }
