Hi Vipul,
I assume you are referring to DERBY-584. I have replied on that issue.
That is probably a better place to discuss the specifics of the fix and
its tests.
Thanks,

Hi
The org.apache.derby.client.am.ColumnMetaData has no
DB2_SQLTYPE_NUMERIC case for getColumnMetaDataType() function.
Similarly in org.apache.derby.client.am.Types I updated the case for
NUmeric type and also in drda's SqlType.java.
The above changes gave the correct metadata.
But as this looks like a protocol change would like to know which test
case will check derbyclient and drda layer.
And also is there any specific reason for using decimal for both
numeric and decimal types.
Thanks

Hi Vipul,
One place to start would be to start fixing some of the
discrepancies between the client and embedded drivers. Look
for open JIRA issues which have the "Embedded/Client
difference" box checked. DERBY-584 might be an easy one to
start with
DERBY-4901 might be an easy one too and if you like protocol,
build up to DERBY-4805 .
In general when working with Derby I think it is good to do the
tutorial first.

Then get your build and test environment set up. See:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/ForNewDevelopers
(also the relevant specifications are at the bottom of this page)
and if you want to use eclipse, Tiago made a nice screen cast for
this at:
http://www.vimeo.com/5376690
I would suggest you make sure suites.All and derbyall run before
you start making code changes, so you can work out any kinks
separate from your code changes.
Welcome and please do not hesitate to ask questions.
Kathey
