Yes, though some fields need to be lengthened. The import/export process should do this - we're looking at revising the document now. > > 2) Is is possible to migrate from Derby to MySQL?

This should be possible - if you have issues with this in the release let us know and we can work through them. - Brett > > Of course, in both cases we can simply start from a new empty DB, but if > possible, we'd like to retain our build history. > > BTW, I know that 1.2 is not yet officially released and (maybe?) you guys > are working on a migration document, although I did not find anything by > glancing at the site source tree.
