Index creation fails when default schema does not exist
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-663
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-663
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: sql
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
         Environment: DB2 for iSeries / i5/OS.  Toolkit for Java JDBC driver.
            Reporter: Jeremy Bauer


I have an entity which uses the org.apache.openjpa.persistence.jdbc.Index 
annotation to specify an index on a field. When running against DB2 on iSeries 
with the Toolkit for Java JDBC driver, the mapping tool is failing with an 
internal SQLException when issuing the SQL to create the index.  Here is the 
exception output:

<openjpa-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-runknown nonfatal general error> 
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceException: [SQL0204] MYUID in QSYS 
type *LIB not found. {stmnt 1135625136 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX projid_index ON 
myschema.ProjectBean (projid)} [code=-204, state=42704]

Investigation determined that the problem is due to not specifying a default 
library on the JDBC URL (myschema) and using a user login that does not have a 
matching schema defined.  Neither are a requirement for iSeries.  The JDBC 
driver chooses the user profile name as the default schema.  Unlike DB2 on LUW, 
the schema name will not get created by default (or as the result of another 
CREATE which uses the schema name) on iSeries, resulting in the error above.

Unlike most other annotations, the Index annotation does not allow a schema to 
be specified.  In addition, the openjpa.jdbc.Schema property does not affect 
index generation.  Since (at least on iSeries) indexes can be created in a 
specific schema, the Index annotation should be enhanced to include an 
attribute which allows specification of the schema name to use when creating 
the index.

This problem was found when using DB2 on iSeries, but could occur using any 
database/JDBC driver which behaves similarly.
