[Fwd: Re: additional drda datatypes]

[Rick Hillegas <Ri...@Sun.COM>]

Given the following response from the Open Group, this is what I propose 
to do:

1) Build five new DRDA type ids into the Derby network client and 
server. Details to follow, including a test plan and description of 
compatibility between other and/or older drivers..

2) Enshrine the new type ids in an Addendum to the DRDA spec to be 
pushed by the appropriate group at Sun. David, I will need your help 
identifying and leveraging this group.

3) Circulate the Addendum to derby-dev in the hope that someone at IBM 
will champion this extension also.

Comments? Objections?

Cheers,
-Rick
