For what it's worth, the old Cloudscape source does include the method in the equivalent class. I tried to check whether it was dropped during contribution or sometime later by browsing the svn index (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/db/derby/) but the svn server is down for scheduled maintenance (I must've missed an announcement). By the way, this seems separate from DERBY-2487, it probably warrants a separate bug... Myrna
