Actually, I think should be an requrement that even if ij is somewhat
tailored to Derby, it should remain database independent. That's one
of the really nice features of ij.

Agree! When testing/experimenting I often find myself having two
connections in ij, one to a db from trunk and another which is 10.1. I
would consider vetoing an ij tie in to specific Derby versions.

JDBC should provide enough metadata for this.
