1. Create a Crystal report (CR) based on JDBC connection to SQL Server 2000 Database.
2. Use JRC sample code as below to change the report data source from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g which has same table structure and same table name as that in SQL Server 2000.

3. Run JRC application which includes above method switch_tables().
4. Error message: "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: can not find table 'viewtest'" occurred. 
   

• JRC 11.8.4.1094
• CR XI R2 with SP2
• SQL Server 2000
• Oracle 10g

1. The name of source table in SQL Server is lower case (for example: viewtest), but the target table in Oracle 10g is upper case (for example: VIEWTEST).
2. When using table.setName(table.getName()) to set original table name as report's new table name and then connect to Oracle database, JDBC will not find the table name with lower case in target Oracle database.

Replace table.setName(table.getName()) with table.setName(table.getName().toUpperCase()) in method switch_tables(). It converts original table name to upper case thus the report can properly connect to the corresponding table in Oralce.
