Compliance with the SQL standard and building the best damn database out there are more important to me.
Anyone knows what restrictions/dependencies we have to keep in sync with DB2 ? - In particular with DDL statements and the possibilities to migrate a Derby database to DB2 ?
I have no insight into the DB2 roadmap (or Oracle's, Microsoft's or MySQL's) and don't even use it on a daily basis. My inclination will always be to implement something as its defined in the SQL-03 spec.
