I see. Yesterday I was just a little frustrated at the gotcha. JDBC docs 
never mention any chance that DDL wont work, H2 implements JDBC, H2 
doesn't say "except DDL in transactions", I had no reason to expect it 
not to support it. Could have saved some time by reading a that in the 
docs somewhere.

Anyways, as far as MySQL support goes, they also dont support actual 
enforcement of foreign keys last time I used, so.... Not to mention 
performance when joining anything but the smallest tables....
