Tomohito Nakayama commented on DERBY-167:
-----------------------------------------

Reading source codes relating to DERBY-167 and found next constructors.

ColumnDescriptor(java.lang.String columnName, int columnPosition, 
DataTypeDescriptor columnType, DataValueDescriptor columnDefault, 
DefaultInfo columnDefaultInfo, TableDescriptor table, UUID defaultUUID, long 
autoincStart, long autoincInc, boolean autoinc)
          Constructor for a ColumnDescriptor
ColumnDescriptor(java.lang.String columnName, int columnPosition, 
DataTypeDescriptor columnType, DataValueDescriptor columnDefault, 
DefaultInfo columnDefaultInfo, UUID uuid, UUID defaultUUID, long 
autoincStart, long autoincInc, boolean autoinc)
          Constructor for a ColumnDescriptor.


These constructors have many parameters.

AutoIncrementing intial value is related to  following parameters:
    long autoincStart,
    long autoincInc,
    boolean autoinc
Default intial value is related to following parameter:
    DefaultInfo columnDefaultInfo


I wonder how to handle these separated information of rules for initial 
values in DERBY-167 task ....
New class InitialValueRule may be appropriate to exist ....

> It is not possible to insert a specific value in a column defined as 
> identity. This makes it very hard to migrate from other RDBMSs or to import 
> data dumped from other databases. 
> For example, an autoincrement column in MySQL should be an identity column. 
> The problem is that when the data is dumped from MySQL to a file, it 
> generates inserts with values. These values cant be inserted in the Derby 
> table. 
> Posible solutions: 1. being able to "generate by default as identity" 2. 
> being able to disable the "identity" feature for a column 3. being able to 
> generate a column as non identity and after data is populated, alter table to 
> add the "identity" to the column.
