Ignacio, Forgive me if I don't understand, but it appears you are saying that JDBCRealm's use of a sub-optimal table design is *flexible* because there are ways in some databases to modify a correct schema (by adding a view) to make it work with JDBCRealm? It seems to me in this case that it is the database that is being flexible not JDBCRealm!
In other words, users of databases such as MySQL or small pure Java databases like HSQL or McCoi are out of luck because we refuse a *backward compatible* patch that would allow them to work with their existing, correct db design? It seems to me that true flexiblilty in our code would be to allow JDBCRealm to work with multiple database designs without requiring the addition of views or modification of table designs.
