Database version detection in MySQLDictionary is not reliable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OPENJPA-933
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-933
Project: OpenJPA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jdbc, sql
Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 2.0.0
Environment: MySQL 5.1.30, Linux
Reporter: Milosz Tylenda
Priority: Minor
The database version detection code assumes the version string always looks
like "4.1.3-nt" whereas currently a MySQL on Linux reports itself as "5.1.30".
This causes an exception catch and a fallback to default values (in particular
supportsXMLColumn stays false). Also, the code could take advantage of JDBC 3
methods that return version numbers.
I will provide a patch.
