But I have a more abstract question: do we need to care what wire formats are used? That is, since our client talks only to our server, and this is a brand new DRDA command (at least, for our code), there is no wire-incompatibility issue here. As long as you construct an operational implementation, do we have to care whether our internal wire format exactly matches the format intended by the DRDA spec?
Given there is a well documented wire protocol (DRDA) why would we invent a new different wire format for some commands?
Following an open standard is a good thing and does allow other parties to implement clients against Derby.
