---------------------------------------
Hi Jacques,
I've had some strange behaviour. I think it's a separate issue from this patch,
but I'm not sure of that yet. I will investigate a little more before I commit
this.

> Recognise "BASE TABLE" table type in metadata
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-7129
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7129
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Paul Foxworthy
> Assignee: Paul Foxworthy
> Attachments: OFBIZ-7129_BaseTableMetadata.patch
>
>
> In framework/entity/src/org/ofbiz/entity/jdbc/DatabaseUtil.java, the
> getTableNames method looks for table types of "TABLE", "VIEW", "ALIAS" and
> "SYNONYM"
> (https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/ofbiz/trunk/framework/entity/src/org/ofbiz/entity/jdbc/DatabaseUtil.java?r=1644354#to989).
> MariaDB produces a table type of "BASE TABLE", so OFBiz didn't detect the
> tables were there, and attempted to create them. In fact, the tables do exist
> so the create failed.
> The JDBC docs suggest that plain "TABLE" is a "typical" value for table type
> (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getTables-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String:A-)
> But it seems "BASE TABLE" is more standards compliant - see for example
> http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt page 576. I assume
> some JDBC drivers transform "BASE TABLE" to plain "TABLE", but the MariaDB
> one does not.
> I've attached a patch so OFBiz will recognise "BASE TABLE" if that's what it
> receives in the metadata.
