Hi,
i tried to use Derby as backend for the DaisyWiki CMS, because i'd like
to get an solution. Currently Daisy only supports MySQL, with PostgreSQL
being in the works. The main problem i ran into was the very constrained
length of SQL identifiers in Derby.
I found this issue on the ToDo-List
(<http://incubator.apache.org/derby/DerbyToDo.html>, Increased SQL
identifier lengths) and also a discussion-thread which seemed to come to
a consensus that support for longer SQL identifier should be added,
since it wouldn't break backward-compatibility with DB2 but improve
support for the SQL-standard

Although this sounds quite promising to me, it seems like there hasn't
been a vote taken until now and nobody is working on it. Is this
correct? Or are there any estimates possible on when a patch will be
available? Or how much work it would be to develop that patch oneself -
given some experience with java but none with Derby or other
java-SQL-databases?
The patch already exists, but it doesn't pass the tests cleanly. Some work is needed to ensure the test outputs are correct and re-issue the patch with the changes to the tests. The orignal patch is here:

and my latest comments on it.
