I guess really all I want to know is when is the code for reading metadata from the database going to be committed? I need to create an XML formatted representation of the schema. And the JDBCTransformTask has all the components that I need, just I need a different format for my XML. I don't really care what code is going to be used to retrieve this meta data, although I hope it will populate the Database/Table/Column model objects ;-). JVZ said he had code to commit, that does what MetadataReader does, so let's get that in, and get rid of MetadataReader...
Then I will happily code against the new API, and change my testcases to work with it...

Eric, I apologize for the confusion. I caused it by doing some commits without discussing them first. The request was made (rightfully so) for me to undo them, and I agreed to do that. That is why MetadataReader is leaving. Again, I apologize for causing the confusion and potentially wasted work. If MetadataReader.java is useful and should be preserved, discussion can certainly be held to put it back.

Argh x 2 then... I am going to stop doing work and wait until someone can give me a clear direction on what the future of the SQL package is for MetadataReader, and what (hopefully ;-) ) it's timeline is. I finished adding to MetadataReader support for Primary Keys and Foreign Keys, as well as testcases for MetadataReader and Axion and HsqlDb databases. I also tweaked DataSourceWrapper, and Table. I am attaching my cvs diff - u in an attachement to this email plus my testcases. Hopefully some of this code that I have worked on can be useful in the future.
