Cannot connect to an Oracle DB using a schema/user specified in lowercase ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6888 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6888 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.6.7 Environment: Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1.0 with JDBC Driver 10.2.0.2 and Oracle10gDialect Reporter: Vincent Massol I have an Oracle user with lowercase letters ("xwiki"). When I use the following in my hibernate.cfg.xml: {noformat} <property name="connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@<ip>:1521:XE</property> <property name="connection.username">xwiki</property> <property name="connection.password">pass</property> <property name="connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</property> {noformat} Hibernate fails to connect. The reason, I believe, is because Hibernate passes the username *as is* to Oracle without escaping it in quotes. Since Oracle converts users passed to it to uppercase (unless they're escaped with quotes) it fails to connect. I found the following in a forum post (https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=732373&tstart=1500 ): {noformat} The username is passed to the ConnectionPool by the Properties attribute: Properties="user=scott;portNumber=1521;SID=MYDB;serverName=myserver" So, it's true that the username is not quoted. {noformat} Thanks -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
