Use SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle Libname with Preserve_Tab_Names=Yes and create a new Oracle table with a data step. The Oracle table name contains mixed case characters, e.g.

   libname myora oracle user=scott orapw=tiger path=alien
   preserve_tab_names=yes;

   data myora.New_Table_Created_jan06;
     set sashelp.class;
   run;

When the table is queried using SQL*Plus, the following error is returned:

SQL> select count(*) from New_Table_Created_jan06; select count(*) from New_Table_Created_jan06 * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

The tablename must be enclosed in quotes, e.g.

   SQL> select count(*) from 'New_Table_Created_jna06';

To avoid having to quote the tablename in SQL*Plus, do not use the preserve_Tab_Names=yes on the libname statement when creating the Oracle tables from SAS.

   libname myora oracle user=scott orapw=tiger path=alien;

   data myora.New_Table_Created_jan06;
     set sashelp.class;
   run;
