Re: DBVisualizer Null Pointer Exception

No. I've only dug a little bit more but haven't really turned up
anything new. I was going to try a different jdk to see if the
interaction was any different, but then had issues with dbvisualizer
itself (I think it was a configuration issue). Given that there seems to
be some other problems with the DatabaseMetaData functions (see Aslak
Hellesoy post from last week) that probably wasn't going in the right
direction anyway.
