DRDA is not one of Derby's governing standards. It is not mentioned in Derby's charter and the community has never voted to require DRDA compliance.
Actually it is mentioned:
"The Derby network server increases the reach of the Derby database engine by providing traditional client server functionality. The network server allows clients to connect over TCP/IP using the standard DRDA protocol. The network server allows the Derby engine to support networked JDBC, ODBC/CLI, Perl and PHP"
But perhaps this section needs to be revisited as while someone could write a ODBC/CLI, Perl and PHP client, there is not one currently offered by anyone. Also we don't have a client section. I think that the important thing is to carefully document our variations so the protocol is clear to whomever may want to write a new client.
Thanks Kathey
