BUG: ORACLE Procedures with Lower Case Names Are Not Executed

ID: Q190593

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

With an ORACLE data connection if you have a procedure whose name is in lowercase letters, on execution you will be told that the procedure "is not a procedure or is undefined."


CAUSE

Before the procedure is executed, there is a check made to see if the procedure exists. This check is done against uppercase names.


RESOLUTION

Change the name of the procedure to uppercase letters or add a dummy procedure whose name is the uppercase equivalent. This dummy procedure will get past the existence check and the correct procedure will be run.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.


MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create and ORACLE data connection.


  2. Add a procedure named "a".


  3. Execute "a".


You'll see an error stating that "a" does not exist.
