I can attest that this works fine with other databases.
So far I have used CMP with MS SQL Server 6.5, MS SQL Server 7, MySQL 3.2
and Sybase 11.0.3.3 and all work perfectly with automapping
java.lang.Integer to Integer.
Problems I have found (but I think the Orion team are aware of all of them):
Sybase creates all fields as 'NOT NULL'
SQL Server crashes whenever it tries to map the default value for a
java.lang.Long
Otherwise it's all fine!
Cheers,
Mike
