I realized after sending that I may not have been clear about this - the failing tests are using the default database, sqlite. My intention is to eventually use the test suite to find out exactly which parts of the mssql support need work, but in order to do that I need to get the tests passing using a database that I know is fully supported. So, having clarified that the tests are failing using sqlite, I ask again: should these tests all (or almost all) be passing? Chris Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
