Exception "unknown table" should be raised instead of "unknown columns" on
attempt to create index for non-existent table
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-5738
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5738
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Engine, ISQL
Affects Versions: 3.0.3, 2.5.8, 4.0 Alpha 1
Reporter: Pavel Zotov
Priority: Minor
There is something strange in error message when i want to create index for
NON-existent table.
Consider following script (doing it on empty database):
===
SQL> create index no_such_index on no_such_table( some_fantastic_column );
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = 42000
unsuccessful metadata update
-Unknown columns in index NO_SUCH_INDEX
SQL>
===
Why "unknown COLUMNS" are mentioned here ? I just used wrong name of TABLE
rather than column(s) of it.
IMO, much better to raise SQLSTATE = 42S02 ("-Table unknown"), similar to this
case:
SQL> select * from no_such_table;
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = 42S02
Dynamic SQL Error
-SQL error code = -204
-Table unknown
-NO_SUCH_TABLE
