Description

IMPORT FROM JDBC and EXPORT INTO JDBC statements may fail if the TABLE or STATEMENT parameter contains non-ASCII characters.

The cause of the issue is that the TABLE and STATEMENT strings are not properly encoded. This can lead to exceptions such as the following.

JDBC-Client-Error: Failed to receive MetaData: <JDBC driver-specific exception message>

The problem was first described in IMPORTs/EXPORTs using JDBC may fail if the TABLE or STATEMENT contains non-ASCII characters. and had to be fixed again because in version 8.29.0 database container OS was changed.

Workaround

There is not a workaround.

Fix

IMPORT FROM JDBC and EXPORT INTO JDBC statements handle non-ASCII characters in TABLE or STATEMENT parameters correctly.
