Problem Note 41093: An error occurs and you cannot access an Oracle table when you use a schema name or a user ID that contains a dollar sign ($)
If an Oracle user ID or schema name contains a dollar sign ($), you must add double quotation marks around the user ID or schema name when you register Oracle tables from SAS® Management Console. After you register the table when you try to access these tables from SAS® Enterprise Guide®, you might receive an error saying that the table does not exist, as shown in this example:
"SELECT * FROM "Ctaf2$Current".DEM"
ERROR: File TEST2.DEM.DATA does not exist.
The workaround is to put quotation marks around the user ID or schema name in SAS Management Console, register tables, and then remove the quotation marks so that you can access the ID or name from Enterprise Guide.
The problem is fixed in the third maintenance release of SAS 9.2 (TSM3) or later.
