Error in docs -- or something more sinister?
The 10.1 docs state that the java.sql.Clob.getCharacterStream() method
is UNSUPPORTED [sic], however it works nicely when I try to use it. Is
the documentation out of date, or are there some special cases I should
know about where is it indeed unsupported?

I went back in the old history of the Cloudscape code and it seems that
getCharacterStream was always supported in embedded mode, though
possibly it did not work in JDK 1.1. Thus I think the NOT SUPPORTED in
the docs is just a result of a miscommunication.

We are actually using it in embedded mode.

My guess is that it is not supported for embedded.
Nothing sinister, just documentation not in sync with the code.
We are always looking for folks to help out!

Done.

No, we use java.sql.Statement.setCharacterStream() instead.

It seems to me a documentation bug. It would be great if you could file
a doc bug for it in jira. Thanks.
Derby supports java.sql.Clob.getCharacterStream().
Derby in embedded mode does not yet support
java.sql.Clob.setCharacterStream(long pos) though.
