Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-2206:
--------------------------------------

At this point, we are talking about an API which diverges from the SQL standard 
in several ways:

A) Jar ids, which are mandatory in SQL, are optional for us.

B) We have invented a pseudo-jar SYS.ENV, which does not appear in SQL.

C) We cannot preserve the derby.database.classpath search order without 
breaking the rules for the jar-specific classpath set by SQLJ.ALTER_JAVA_PATH.

I have two misgivings:

1) I am worried that we will confuse both ourselves and our customers with an 
API which is neither the SQL standard nor the old, familiar Cloudscape API.

2) I am worried that we have not stepped back and discussed the customer 
experience in terms of upgrade expectations and default, out-of-the-box 
behavior.

Right now, I'd like to get some clarity on issue (2). Are we expecting any of 
the following:

i) That Derby will be secure-by-default? Or is routine-security something you 
have to explicitly opt into?

ii) That users upgrading to 10.3 won't have to change their applications?
