Hi Claus,
I believe this is most likely a problem inside Eclipse Dali tooling.
Does it make a difference wether you use Generic, Eclipse Link or the Hibernate Platform ?
Validation of identifiers such as table, columns, index, etc. is always tricky since it varies between Databases, but as you say also dependent on possible hard to detect configuration of the database or even in some cases the parameters passed on for the specific connection.
Thus its not trivial to get right, but I would recommend you open a bug against eclipse link on bugs.eclipse.org explaining the case and post a link to the bug on this thread and we'll keep an eye too.
