Manfred,
We are
aware of the Blog post. We have attempted to answer the Blog in January,
but the author has not put our post up yet.
The
short answer is that EclipseLink supports all the major databases, and we
regularly run 1000s of tests to ensure that we don't regress. The
EclipseLink tests that run every night on the Eclipse build machine do so on
MySQL. Oracle QA also runs the same tests nightly on several different
databases (and database versions).
The
difficulty in supporting all databases is that different databases (and even
different versions of the same database) support different features in different
ways.
The
issue mentioned in this Blog is bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=301252.
It is an issue of DDL generation, which will show up during development, but not
likely in production. This is because the DB admin will likely not be
using EclipseLink to create the production tables. There is a valid work
around in the bug. This bug is currently targeted to be looked at for our
next maintenance release. (2.0.2)
In
general, if you are experiencing a blocking issue that is occurring on any
Database, please be sure to file a bug.
Peter
