Hello Anurag, Thank you for the quick response. Log files is full of such lines along with a trace that says it is some parsing related issue. But the strange thing is that here I can see *'\00' *but on the CLI it was just *' '. *I am wondering what's with wrong with *show tables;* * * line 1:79 character '\00' not supported here line 1:80 character '\00' not supported here
