[dtp-dev] JDBC 4.0 and Java 6

[rcernich@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hey all,

Just wanted to get your feelings regarding how Java 6 and the new version
of JDBC should fit within the scope of the DTP releases currently under
plan.  I'm not familiar with all of the changes, but some will definitely
impact the catalog loaders.  (There is already one defect which relies on a
JDBC 4.0 driver; getting parameters for UDFs in Derby.  This is currently
handled using reflection and only works when using Derby 10.2.)

Here are some of the highlights from the Java API documentation:
(http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html)

getFunctions(), getFunctionParameters(), getSchema(catalog,filter)

Regards,
Rob
