The table is deliberately simple, so use your database of choice.  I'm not convinced that using an in-memory DB is the solution given that the test is designed to scale up to hundreds of thousands of insertions; it's probably better just to piggy back off a real DB.

> During long-running transactions that utilize conditional logic based on the database metadata, it is possible to get thousands of calls to Connection.getMetaData.  An ArrayList is built up containing objects which are never removed (this is the cause of DBCP-330).  However, the array is shared with all other PreparedStatements, so the array scan and modification time keeps rising as the transaction progresses.
> I will attempt to attach an Eclipse project; profiling (or even a few JStacks) will show that most of the time is spent scanning the cluttered and growing array for objects to remove.
