Well I don't really know if it is RapidMiner or OrientDB related. But anyways.

That is the stack. I have the server running. The JAR I use is http://www.orientdb.org/portal/function/portal/download/unknown@unknown.com/-/-/-/-/-/orientdb-jdbc-2.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar/false/false/multi

It is the really latest version. So somehow it seems that RapidMiner returning some strange things?

Hi,

which version of RapidMiner Studio are you using? Line numbers do not match with what I have here.

Ohh yeah sorry.

I'm using RapidMiner 5.3.015 and OrientDB 2.0M2.

Hi,

I'd say it looks like a driver bug. Reason for the error is that the driver returns no type info for the DB connection. In other words, java.sql.DatabaseMetaData#getTypeInfo() returns null although according to specification it should not.

Regards,
Marco
