Other things that would be interesting to have in a capabilities API: - list of actual types supported by the store (does it do Timestamps? Time? Or just Date? What about byte[]?) - can it get any hint to better specify the underlying storage type? Something like JDBC_NATIVE_TYPE in the attribute descriptor to actually specify that you want a CHAR(20) and not a VARCHAR(20) or that you want a timestamp with time zone?
