This looks like a great collection of methods to focus on.Actually what I meant to say was that these methods are not being called in anywhere. Code inspection from my IDE revealed that these methods are unused. So it might be possible to remove them.
Even better! Although it is possible to do tricky things like invoking methods via reflection, in general the Derby codebase doesn't do that (there are some important exceptions, but...). So if your IDE believes that these methods aren't being called, I agree that it seems like we should be able to remove them. Let's proceed on the assumption that we'll try to remove these unused and un-called methods, unless we can find some evidence that shows a reason to retain them. thanks, bryan
