Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

That sounds like a cool project!

No, I'm currently not working on those features. From what I think how
complex the features are:

> -Full outer joins

Complex.

Do you mean 'Support nested outer joins (see todo.txt)'? No, it something else.

> -Deferred integrity checks

Complex.

> -Partial indexing

Complex (I'm not fully sure)

> -The === comparator

Simple

> -Table ordering (accepting the MYSQL command "ALTER TABLE aTable ORDER
> BY aField DESC")

I'm not sure if this makes sense for H2 (I just read the docs at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/de/alter-table.html )

> -Adding columns (ALTER TABLE) to tables with views already defined

Not sure, maybe simple

> -Adding multiple columns (ALTER TABLE ... ADD ... ADD ...)

Simple

> -Full outer joins (note: you have also listed "OUTER UNION" later in
> the road map. Duplicates?)

My main focus currently is bugfixes and a new storage format, so there
is little overlap. I'm using Eclipse and commit changes every few days
to the subversion repository at
http://code.google.com/p/h2database/source/checkout
