> The Developer's Guide suggests that you are limited to the collations shipped
> with the JRE. Consider, for instance, this sentence in the section titled
> "Character-based collation in Derby":
> "Derby currently supports only running those rules that can be loaded
> dynamically from the running JVM based on the territory attribute. Overrides
> to these rules by the user are not supported."
> This is misleading. A long time ago, Knut wrote a blog explaining how to
> write your own custom collation, plug it into the JRE, and then use it on
> string data stored in Derby:
> http://blogs.sun.com/kah/entry/user_defined_collation_in_apache
> This is a very useful capability of Derby. We should document it.
