Explanation:
Datical deploys some changes using database-specific tools such as "sqlplus", "expdp", "impdp" for Oracle. Other tools used by Datical are "edbplus" for Enterprise DB amd , "sqlcmd" for SQL Server, and "clpplus" for DB2.
- When Datical deploys ddl changes, it uses JDBC driver to deploy these changes. If password used any of the unsupported characters those DDL changes would still get deployed.
- When Datical deploys any other changes (dml, sql_direct or stored logic scripts), it uses "sqlplus" to deploy those scripts. This is where above-mentioned unsupported characters become problematic and deployments fail. Error message typically appears as follows:
