> 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.
