Rick,
I didn't answer all your questions. I don't believe that at this point LUW is 
asking for something real. I think it is expecting to get a NO_DATA_FOUND 
response. Earlier in the dialog between the machines, it does something similar 
just trying to prove its talking to a DB2 instance. This looks like more of the 
same because it is asking for the same information regardless of what procedure 
I'm trying to define.

Rick,
I want to use Derby as a DRDA gateway for temporarily allowing access from z/OS 
 and JDBC clients during an application migration. I am moving several 
applications into a cloud environment and will be able to build a fairly large 
"cluster" to manage the traffic. In that environment my client wants to use an 
elastically scalable database product which does not support DRDA.

From what I can see reading the code, the easiest way for me to solve my 
immediate problem is to change the definition of the SYSCAT schema from being a 
"system" one to being a normal one. Or, define the ROUTINES table at 
initialization.

Hi Andy,

Welcome to derby-dev. I'm not sure what you're trying to do: 1) Replace 
a DB2/LUW server with a Derby server for use by a remote application 
which uses a DRDA driver? 2) Wire a Derby server into a distributed 
query processor based on DB2/LUW? Some responses inline...

Derby stores metadata for user-defined routines in SYS.SYSALIASES, along 
with metadata for other user-defined schema objects like datatypes and 
aggregates. The intricate details of each object are kept in an 
org.apache.derby. catalog.AliasInfo object, which serializes into the 
byte array stored in the ALIASINFO column of SYS.SYSALIASES. For more 
information, see the section on that system table in the Derby Reference 
Manual: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.14/ref/rrefsistabs28114.html

You can run queries directly against the metadata catalogs, but that 
entails a lot of joining. At this point in your processing, do you have 
an active Derby session and therefore a JDBC connection? If so, it might 
be simpler to work with a java.sql.DatabaseMetaData object.

Hope I'm not talking past your real question,
-Rick
