Milosz Tylenda commented on OPENJPA-1033:
-----------------------------------------
Donald & Jeremy, good idea to address this. My opinion:
- I would list a minimum level of support for each database with the explicit
verbage that newer versions claiming backward compatibility are also supported
(or just: verbage that newer versions are also supported). This should be clear
for users and will save us some work as databases are updated quite frequently.
- I would define a supported version/database as a statement of what OpenJPA
will be more apt to support if problems are found. I assume we are not able to
run tests regularly on every minor (or even major) database version. Also, I
believe Derby being the only one which passes every (nearly) test case.
- I would bump up the minimum PostgreSQL version to 7.4 as previous versions
seem not to be updated by PostgreSQL programmers for a long time.
- I believe the previous version of the patch was correcting the order of
sections. It might have been another good idea but probaly now needs a new
patch because of the recent updates for Firebird.
