Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-5488:
----------------------------------------
I am fine with the proposed implementation. I think I was getting somewhat
confused between
compile-time support and run-time support.
My train-of-thought regarding my reaction was something like: if I am told that
a particular
DB/driver/implementation is JDBC version X.Y, then I expect to look in the
Javadocs for
version X.Y and be able to call those APIs.
I would not expect to have to use reflection to do so.
When I look up, e.g., java.sql.PreparedStatement, I expect the "Since:" field to
help me with this comprehension. This doesn't work perfectly; for example, when
I go to:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/PreparedStatement.html#setRowId(int,
java.sql.RowId)
I see that the setRowId() method is marked "Since: 1.6", and I have to know
that this actually means
"JDBC 4.0", but once I accomplish that, I know that I am calling a method that
requires JDBC 4.0.
I note that when I go to
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jdbc/index.html which
is presumably the base of all the JDBC spec definitions, I am referred to JDBC
documentation
for the base JDK, not by JDBC version number. That is, it says:
JDBC documentation: J2SE 1.4.2 | J2SE 5.0 | Java SE 6
At any rate, returning 4.1 seems fine to me; I think I am expressing a related,
but independent,
confusion that affects the life of the JDBC application programmer :)
> Add remaining JDBC 4.1 bits which did not appear in the Java 7 javadoc.
