I'm considering moving forward with the latest patch proposal for DERBY-2487. There is still a lot of work left to do here, but I think I can do it after the first patch has been committed to the trunk.
Does anybody think they will have time to study the patch and offer any feedback? I'm particularly interested in large issues that need to be addressed prior to moving this work to the trunk, but any feedback is welcome. There's no particular rush to get the work submitted, but on the other hand it's a large patch and I'd like to get the work into the trunk, if we're going to do that, before any substantial new work on other projects gets underway, to avoid unnecessary amounts of merging (though the merge risk is a lot less now that the patch isn't trying to add new system catalogs). So I'm just sounding out the community for opinions about when might be a reasonable point to consider committing this work into the trunk. thanks, bryan
