I'm all for raising this limit if the community agrees that this does not

limit on JIRA, so it would be interesting to hear her thoughts on this.
I guess I always thought of an extension as being something
supplemental, like a new codepoint, not a modification of an existing
one, but the truth is in terms of standards and DRDA compliance, DRDA is
not part of our public interface so compliance is not as critical
certainly as JDBC or SQL. The real advantage of using DRDA is that the
very extensive protocol is in a documented reference. I am fine with
extensions or even deviations for Derby as long as we provide some sort
of protocol supplement that explains them and are careful about
maintaining it for future developers.
For things like this, that might be generally useful to DRDA, it might
be nice if someone has to fortitude to shepherd it through the opengroup
process and make it part of the standard then that will reduce the
amount of supplemental documentation we have to provide.
Does anyone know if there are other clients besides derby client that
might be working and expected to continue to work against Derby?
Thanks
