Jython's zxJDBC package provides functionality similar to the DESCRIBE requested on this list for ij. || cursor.tables(qualifier,owner,table,type) || Same as DatabaseMetaData.getTables And there a number of commands that map to DatabaseMetaData methods. http://www.jython.org/docs/zxjdbc.html Possibly if Jython has existed when Cloudscape started, it would have been picked at the SQL scripting tool. It would be interesting to see if someone could add a jython test type to the Derby harness (or does it exist in Junit?) and write Derby tests in Jython. Of course I don't know if the Jython licence is compatible with the Apache licence. Dan.
