Hi Daniel,

The various database vendors and JDBC drivers have different usage of
catalogs, some not using them at all or treating them the same as a schema.
While many JPA mapping constructs allow you to specify a catalog attribute,
I've found that OpenJPA uses the default catalog.  There is a JIRA[1] filed
to enhance the catalog support at some point, but there hasn't been much/any
call for it.  If you have specific scenarios you'd like to see supported,
please document them in the JIRA or post them and I'll get them added to the
JIRA.  That'll help ensure those scenarios get tested if/when the support is
added.
