Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-4587:
----------------------------------------

Hi Nirmal, thanks for the latest patch.

I don't understand the verifySchemaExistance() method in the latest 
9.12 patch.  What is the intended method behavior if the schema
name is *not* found in the getSchemas() list?

Also, I think it would be good if the patch could include a new
test case in XplainStatisticsTest, which tested the behavior when
an incorrect schema name is provided to AccessDatabase. 

Similarly, could the patch include a new test case which tested
the behavior when a security exception is thrown by writeTheXMLFile
because it is trying to write to an invalid location? For example, we
could try to write to the file "/DerbyXMLTest.xml", which should fail
on all our platforms because Derby is generally not authorized to
write to the root of the file system.

> I think it would be great to see some work in the area of tools for helping
> with the analysis of complex query execution. Quite frequently, users of
> Derby have trouble comprehending (a) how their query is being translated
> into a query plan by the optimizer, and (b) what the execution-time resource
> usage of the various parts of the query is.
> There are low-level features in Derby which capture this information and
> record it, such as logQueryPlan, and the XPLAIN tables, but there is a lot
> of opportunity for designing higher-level tools which can process the query
> plan and execution statistics information and present it in a more
> comprehensible fashion.
