Hi Nick: Thanks for your help with this. I am going to push the commit that removes the drivers from our repo later today. For reference, these were the versions that we were using: derby-10.4.1.3 h2-1.0.77 hsqldb-1.8.0.7 mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc3 sqlite-jdbc-3.6.0.jar In most cases they are newer versions than you are provided. However, I will defer to you and your judgement, and I don't see any need to upgrade the versions just for the moment as we are not yet far along enough (our JDBC versions are not passing all specs) to be able to dig into compatibility issues between minor versions.
