I don't think you've missed anything.
For the JDBC drivers I have used so far, one could always encode the
properties inside the URL, but a more explicit way may be better, I
agree.

But we should still check for them, i.e. after setting up the
properties, make the task fail if there is no user or password
property.

Oops, so forget my comment above 8-)

rather than using a whatever-delimited String, I'd use nested

You get the idea.

You should 8-) Looks as if you were in violation of the no-tabs rule.

You really should.

Improve your patch based on feedback you get. Make sure the tests
pass (if necessary modify the tests). Add documentation. Add the
patch to bugzilla so that we don't lose track of it.
Basically, read <http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ant_task_guidelines.html>.

Not going into code details here - Ant is supposed to work on JDK 1.1,
so we may very well get into trouble when we require features that are
not available there. <sql> is a core task, so any dependency on JDBC
2.0 optional has to be hidden behind code using reflection. This may
very well become really ugly.
