Ok, some SQL statements used in the EJB xdoclet defs extend beyond SQL92 causing 
portability issues.  To cite a particular example, from 
org.jboss.nukes.core.ejb.FileEJB:

SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTRING(f.fileId, 1, LOCATE('/', f.fileId, LENGTH(?1) + 2)) FROM 
file AS f WHERE f.fileId LIKE CONCAT(?1, '%/%')

This statement uses several MySQL specific extensions / names, namely: SUBSTRING(), 
LOCATE(), AS x, and CONCAT()

I need a strategy for making this sort of SQL portable. Here are the options as I see 
them:

1) Define Ant filters to insert DB specific code at compile time
2) Modify the XDoclet template to insert DB specific code at compile time
3) Extend XDoclet jboss tags to include something like @jboss.query.mysql, ...oracle, 
etc
4) Create a set of SQL functions to mimic the desired routines
5) Create a java class to mutate the SQL statement to the DB specific format
6) Ignore problem and hope it goes away

My gut feeling is that Ant filters -or- the XDoclet template are the way to go with 
this but I'd like some input from others as to the preferred route since this could 
have pretty far reaching implications. Thanks!
