I suppose this is something about the driver returning wrong meta data. OOo asks the driver whether the column types in the CREATE TABLE statement need/allow parameters (e.g. "CREATE TABLE ... VARCHAR( 10 ) ...") or not [1], and the error message you cite sounds like Base decided to not use parameters for one of the types, but Oracle expects them. I don't think there's an issue for this already, so please submit one so we will at time investigate whether this is an Oracle/JDBC or Base issue.
