I'm trying to execute the following statement but I keep on getting an
error:

CREATE TABLE CHARTDATA (
CATNO VARCHAR(32)
)

and the error is:

This operation is not defined for system tables.unsuccessful metadata
update.
CHARTDATA.

This happens just after creating the database so there are no other
tables. This occurs when using an embedded db (1.5.2.4731). Doing the
same thing on the server works fine.

Any idea what's going wrong?

TIA
