That's why I wouldn't give up too easily on making the db setup work from a normal sql script. Currently we have the .sql out there, but I'm not sure it's up to date (though it looks like it), and if it's not used, it's certainly in danger of getting out of date at some point.
But the .script file *is* actually a simple .sql script.
Now that the samples are at least working again, how about considering some options for actually creating the samples "schema" from the .sql?
But we could split the cocoondb.script file into
cocoondb.setup + cocoondb.sql --ant--> cocoondb.script
So the schema is pretty much the cocoondb.sql file that could also be copied into the samples. Or do you mean a real "schema"?

Sorry, I cannot find a good reason on reading the samples entries from an already setup db ;) Why would you want to do this?
