I don't think we have documented anywhere what versions of mysql / postgres / oracle / ms-sql we are supporting. It will be good to document those. I propose following versions:
* Derby - 10.10.1.1 - defined in hive's pom, so all unit tests run with it. * MySQL - 5.6.17 - minimum supported version by mysql community * Postgres - 9.1.13 - has support for "create table if not exists" which is good to have * Oracle - 11g - oldest oracle version available to download from their site * MSSQL server - 2008 R2 - one which is currently tested against.
