Hello derby discussion, This is my first post, so be gentle ;)
I have 2 questions, where do I send 'enhancement requests' for discussion? Where should I begin if I want to get involved in helping development? (particularly to contribute code I have already developed to 'enhance' the user experience - in this instance a key word test, see below). Here is some background.... I've been working on derby DB from the user side for a while, and I have a few 'enhancement requests'. Most notably: A native way to check if a word entered by a user is a derby 'keyword' or not. The databaseMetaData.getSQLKeywords() only returns those that aren't SQL92 keywords. There is a long list of others that can be found in the docs that are also keywords. I've already writen code to implant these values into a table in the DB so as I can check against them, and I would be more than happy to contribute this to the community. So as during install the values are inserted into an appropriate system table Extended characters / escape characters. Prepared statments are fine, but I obviously went for the use of the java / unix '\' as an escape character... to no effect in a normal statement. This caught me on a 'create table' statement on a field with an apostrophe. The field title showed belonging, and without it the meaning of the field was ambiguous. Obviously I would quite like to get involved in developping derby, but I'm not sure how much time i'm going to have, between 4year old twins, and house renovations ! Any advice is most welcome. Thanks in advance
