How do we expect to influence the DRDA spec?
I don't know. But it sure would be nice to see some simple things
added to support JDBC. Here are a few example concerns.
There seems to be no protocol for
- Negotiating client locale up front for message text. We use stored
procedures to retrieve message text.
- Closing a prepared statement. DERBY-210 remains open for this reason.
- Retrieving database metadata. Again we use stored procedures.
- Sending protocol for Statement level settings like setQueryTimeout. I
forget what our workaround here was but certainly Derby specific.
So it certainly would be nice to see these things addressed in the spec.
