Problem description

  1. Expected behaviour: I should be able to get parameter metadata for inserts into temp table.
  2. Actual behaviour: Invalid object name '#test_jdbc_insert'

The problem appears to be from the use of sp_describe_undeclared_parameters. The driver appears to be throwing from this exec sp_describe_undeclared_parameters @tsl=N'insert into [tempdb].[#test_insert_jdbc] values(@P0)'. This is understandable since sp_describe_undeclared_parameters doesn't support temp tables. But does this mean that getParameterMetadata doesn't work for statements against temp tables by design? This scenario works using sqljdbc 4.0.0.

Reproduction code

Connection connect = DriverManager.getConnection(connectMssql);
Statement statement = connect.createStatement();
statement.execute("create table [#test_jdbc_insert] (x int)");
PreparedStatement pstmt = connect.prepareStatement("insert into [#test_jdbc_insert] (x) values(?)");
System.out.println(pstmt.getParameterMetaData());

Hi @jkoskela

Thanks for bringing up the issue. sp_describe_undeclared_parameters has many other limitations including this one. In order to fix these issues, we will allow users to switch to set fmtOnly, when fetching ParameterMetaData, which will be worked on soon.

We have an open issue #493 that is also related. I will link this issue there so it can be tracked with other limitations.

Issue is being tracked in #927, closing this issue.
