Please vote on whether we should make Øystein Grøvlen a committer. The
vote will close at 5:00 pm San Francisco time on Tuesday August 28.
Since 2005, Øystein has been submitting patches, fielding questions on
the Derby mailing lists, and mentoring student contributions. He
contributed heavily to the LOB improvements in the new 10.3.1.4 release
of Derby. His patches include the following:
DERBY-230 "Schema already exists" when creating a table
DERBY-298 rollforward will not work correctly if the system
happens to crash immediately after rollforward backup.
DERBY-555 Unable to restart after disk is full
DERBY-1691 jdbcapi/blobclob4BLOB.java fails under DerbyNet
framework with JCC 2.6
DERBY-1893 Convert largedata/lobLengthTests.java to junit
DERBY-2100 Convert derbynet/prepStmt.java to Junit
DERBY-2102 JDBC.assertFullResultSet should handle byte arrays
DERBY-2347 Add code to support request and return of locators over
DRDA
DERBY-2495 Create framework for calling locator related stored
procedures from client
DERBY-2496 Implement Blob support for Locators
DERBY-2519 Clean-up in BlobClob4BlobTest
DERBY-2540 Restructure code for Blob/Clob length in client to
prepare for locator implementation
DERBY-2695 Add locator support of soft upgrade to 10.3
DERBY-2770 testBlobAfterCommit(....jdbcapi.BlobClob4BlobTest)
fails with 'Unexpected SQL state. expected:<XJ[073]> but was:<XJ[215]>'
DERBY-2789 DatabaseMetaData .locatorsUpdateCopy() should return true
I would add the following:
1) His knowledge of the Derby codeline is extensive.
2) His knowledge of our relevant standards (SQL and JDBC) is extensive.
3) The quality of his code is outstanding.
4) His interaction with the community is polite, helpful, and generous.
Regards,
