--------------------------------------

Hi Andy,

It doesn't look like anyone is working on this issue. You can vote for it and 
you can advocate for it on derby-dev or derby-user. Note that there are 3 weeks 
left before we cut the 10.4.2 release.

The following query may give you some of what you need. I have no idea how this 
query performs on your schema:

select s.schemaname, t.tablename, c.columnname, c.columnnumber, c.columndatatype
from sys.sysschemas s, sys.systables t, sys.syscolumns c
where c.referenceid = t.tableid
and t.schemaid = s.schemaid
and t.tabletype = 'T'
order by s.schemaname, t.tablename, c.columnname, c.columnnumber
;

A couple points about this query:

o You can adjust this query by consulting the layout of the system tables. That 
layout is described in the Derby Reference Guide.

o The columndatatype column is an object of type 
org.apache.derby.catalog.TypeDescriptor. That class is not in Derby's public 
API and therefore is not guaranteed to be stable across releases (although my 
sense is that it has tended to evolve in upward-compatible ways).

> When running the Apache JDO "TCK", JPOX needs to query the columns for a 
> particular schema, and so uses DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(null, schemaName, 
> null, null). This takes the order of 3 minutes on a dual-core Pentium 3GHz 
> (with large ram). I've cut the JPOX part down to a stand-alone test (will 
> attach it).
> Thing to note is that with only the schema files d_* installed it takes the 
> order of 20secs. When the schema_* files are also installed then performance 
> goes downhill fast (even though they are in different schemas ... all *.sql 
> file represents a different schema). No point in me postulating what could be 
> the issue since you guys are the Derby experts.
