Hi Kevin I currently use OpenJPA with the H2 database for my embeded programs, and will be considering MySQL for larger scale programs. I think that the more database vendors or suppliers we can get links with the better for both sides. I am happily using H2 with OpenJPA but there were some features I had to ask about and how to work with OenJPA.
So my point is that we need a way of getting committers or users from both sides to help so we need a way of maybe certifying a database version. Jut my thoughts.
