Have a Cigar :-) It might be worth you guys knowing what our requirements are, although I think we're approaching a resolution of this glitch. We want to ship derby embedded in James so that we can deprecate file based persistence, let our users have a one-stop download/install, compel our developers only to write for SQL persistence and have a straightforward upscale path from embedded derby to an independant networked db, multiple James's, and thence to the wacky world of database clusters, SAN's and the like without adding the headache of having to re-work any of the James bits. We also have a lot of "SME" users who's whole requirement would be satisfied by the embedded db, a fair proportion of students and tinkerers, and I'd like to see James used more often as a "mail lab" where people can research and experiment with changes to mail protocols and mail handling behaviour for the likes of anti-spam and stuff. We're just off the starting blocks with derby, previously we recommended that people familiarise themselves with the file-based persistence then used MySQL. James is capable of being optimised to use proprietery db features, with specific searches and CRUD actions being mapped onto SQL statements for different sql dialects. This opens up the possibility that the derby dialect for the embedded derby could call stored procedures and use custom functions and types to optimise performance and resource consumption, because we obviously have much greater control over the embedded db than external db's where we'd have to release code for db packages (and stuff, my vocabulary is somewhat hazy in this area ;-) and watch commercial users struggle to convince their DBA's to allow it to be run in.
