No I haven't had a chance to take a look yet. I hope to get to it this week when I work on the 2.0 database migration stuff.

Dave,

I'm not sure if you missed my message or have not had time to look at

I knew there were still database with crazy column name limitations.

I guess the proposed "roller_" prefix is too much.

Elias: do you have a patch that goes against the 2.0 version of
createdb.sql?

It seems to me that is the default for most DBs, so this change
shouldn't be an issue (removing the 'allows null' declarations).

- It's a column definition is of type varchar, the default value
cannot be 0.

Example please.

- If I use db2 -tvf createdb.sql, it seems to fail when comments are
embedded in a create table definition.

Ugh.  I suppose we could move comments to be before the table
definition.

In addition to that I had to add extra keywords to the foreign key
constraints, so an extra property at the end of the contraints would

We could add a generic transform (keyword substitution) at the end of
each foreign key declaration, but that seems rather hackish.

Anyone else have comments?
