I made a little research on JIRA, and my "Oscar" goes to:
DERBY-342: At least basic (like operator) comparision between long
varchar (and clob). IMHO, related to DERBY-472 (see bellow).
DERBY-396, DERBY-119: Alter table DROP/RENAME/MODIFY column, suporting
rename of column even if part of referencial integrity; drop column with
release of space; modify column from NULL to NOT NULL - if NOT NULL
specified and table has records, then a DEFAULT is mandatory. Besides
it's not too usefull in production database, it's a fundamental feature
for development and upgrading times.
DERBY-239: Non-blocking online backup. A must have for production
databases 24 x 7 x 365.
DERBY-84: allow using column aliases in ORDER BY and HAVING because the
column alias could be a complex expression (in reality, I think its a
new variant from DERBY-84). Unique database I know allow this is MSSQL
since 2000 version (in ORDER BY - not in Having). Allow simplify queries.
DERBY-533, DERBY-554: Is a basic must-have for latin american
developers/users for adoption.
DERBY-472: Full-text indexing could allow very fast search. IMHO, it's
DERBY-342 related (if we could make full text searchs over long
varchar/clob would be amazing!).
At finally, more usage examples (lots of them) for each DDL/DML sql
command. Sorry by comparision, but I find to much easier to read MS SQL
Books Online than Oracle manuals (I know, don't compare oranges with
apples, but I'm looking at developer vision - and more examples = more
valuable reading in majority of cases).
-----------
(if some of above is already fixed, sorry: I could not find this
information - version where fixed - in bug pages)
Best regards,

Dear Derby user community,
Yesterday, the Derby developers started a discussion about the timing
and contents of the next (10.2) release. A feature freeze date of
April 7 was suggested although we have not settled on this date yet. I
would estimate that the actual release would appear around two months
after feature freeze.
Please let us know about any bugs which are particularly important to
you and which you would like to see fixed in this release.
Thanks,
-Rick
