Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-2336:
----------------------------------------------
On the metadata, I think the store stores more information that just the format
identifiers for an index.
The class BTree has a number of fields that seem to be metadata for the index
including the ascending/descending status for each column.
How flexible is that metadata? can additional information be added without
requiring an upgrade of previous versions, e.g. if information
about column collation was added?
And does each index/table have a set of properties associated with it that
could be used to store metadata?
> Enable collation based ordering for CHAR data type.

> I am breaking down the Parent task DERBY-1478 (Add built in language based
> ordering and like processing to Derby) into multiple sub tasks. One of them
> is to concentrate on enabling the collation based ordering on (hopefully the
> simplest of all the character data types) CHAR data type. This task in itself
> might need subtasks if it is later found that it can be subdivided into
> multiple smaller steps.
