Noticed recently with the system.db.exec\* functions for named queries, that if you mistype the named query path, it gives a crappy error.

It tells you that your parameters are wrong: Parameter mismatch. Expected: , but provided: [meterid]

When in reality, the Named Query you're calling doesn't exist.

Thanks for the report. In attempting to replicate, I ended up running into some NPEs that we'll also have to fix, but we'll get it all done simultaneously.

I've encountered the same, running on 8.3.6 (b2026042713).

Have reverted to system.db.runNamedQuery for the time being.
