Error when generating meta model code with JOOQ from SYBASE DB

Question

I have this error when trying to generate the meta model with JOOQ:

org.jooq.exception.DataAccessException: SQL [select [SYS].[SYSUSER].[user_name] from [SYS].[SYSUSER]]; SYS.SYSUSER not found.

It's probably because the user does not have administration rights. Can JOOQ generate metamodel code from create statements? I don't have another user. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You're probably using the wrong database as understood by jOOQ, as documented here:

http://www.jooq.org/manual/META/Configuration/

Note, how the documentation states:

<!-- The database dialect from jooq-meta. Available dialects are
     named org.util.[database].[database]Database. Known values are:

     org.jooq.util.ase.ASEDatabase
     [...]
     org.jooq.util.sybase.SybaseDatabase

     You can also provide your own org.jooq.util.Database implementation
     here, if your database is currently not supported -->
     <name>org.jooq.util.oracle.OracleDatabase</name>

The SQL you've mentioned seems to be from the SybaseDatabase class (which corresponds to Sybase SQL Anywhere), whereas you should use the ASEDatabase class instead, generating calls to sp_help
