Only question is should we develop these modules for Derby *first* in a generic way and then contribute (modified version) ddlUtil or directly modify ddlUtil and hope they will include it quickly enough for Ramin to use in his tool. >From what I understand he has another month to complete his migration tool. He may or may not have any time to work on this after that point. While ddlUtil may accept code from Ramin, they may want to make it work on their supported platforms before they include it in their distribution. They also have multiple ways to invoke ddlUtils and need to store database schema in Turbine XML form. So, there may be much more additional work that is needed before contribution from Ramin could be seen an complete.
