improvements to the mailjdbc test
---------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-4166
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4166
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Test
    Affects Versions: 10.6.0.0
            Reporter: Kathey Marsden
            Priority: Minor


When recently working with the mailjdbc system test 
org.apache.derbyTesting.system.mailjdbc on DERBY-4152 I noticed some potential 
improvements that might be good for the test.  We should probably hold off on 
these improvements however until the root cause of DERBY-4152 is established, 
however, so we don't muddy the waters with that issue by changing the test.


1) DbTasks.moveToFolders may throw an IllegalArgumentException.
  There is a line:  message_id = Rn.nextInt(count - 1);
  if count is 1 the argument to nextInt() might be 0 which is not allowed.  I 
hit this once but lost the stack trace, but it is apparent that when there is 
only one row in the table this can occur.

 
2) Allow/implement multiple attachments per message and cleanup 
DbTasks.insertMail() logic.
   - Remove the attach_id column from INBOX to allow multiple attachments.
   -Make the attachment insert part of the message for loop in insertMail.
   Use getGeneratedKeys() to get the id of the inserted message.
   When attachments are inserted, insert (1-4) attachments and give them a 
corresponding attach_id from 1-4.
This will allow for removal of the select statements used to determine id and 
attach_id.  I'll file another issue for these improvements if folks agree that 
they are sensible.
