newbie to derby
Hi
I am new to derby and would like to work on client server layer of derby db.
Can anyone suggest a initial starting point so that , it can get started
with derby development.
Thanks

Hi Vipul,
Information on the Derby tests can be found on the following pages:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyTesting
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/db/derby/code/trunk/java/testing/README.htm?view=co
The regression tests are divided into two big chunks:
o Old style tests which run under a Derby-specific harness. You run
these tests like this:
java -org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness.RunSuite derbyall
o Newer and converted tests which run under the JUnit framework. We are
in the process of converting the old tests to JUnit. You run the JUnit
tests like this:
java -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -Xmx512m junit.textui.TestRunner
org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.suites.All
Hope this helps,
-Rick

Hi
Is there any updated db for running test suites.
Any help in it will be really helpful.
Thanks

Hi Vipul,
I assume you are referring to DERBY-584. I have replied on that issue.
That is probably a better place to discuss the specifics of the fix and
its tests.
Thanks,

Hi
The org.apache.derby.client.am.ColumnMetaData has no DB2_SQLTYPE_NUMERIC
case for getColumnMetaDataType() function.
Similarly in org.apache.derby.client.am.Types I updated the case for NUmeric
type and also in drda's SqlType.java.
The above changes gave the correct metadata.
But as this looks like a protocol change would like to know which test case
will check derbyclient and drda layer.
And also is there any specific reason for using decimal for both numeric and
decimal types.
Thanks
Vipul

DERBY-4901 might be an easy one too and if you like protocol, build up
to DERBY-4805 .
In general when working with Derby I think it is good to do the tutorial
first.
http://db.apache.org/derby/papers/DerbyTut/index.html
Then get your build and test environment set up. See:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/ForNewDevelopers
(also the relevant specifications are at the bottom of this page)
and if you want to use eclipse, Tiago made a nice screen cast for this at:
http://www.vimeo.com/5376690
I would suggest you make sure suites.All and derbyall run before you
start making code changes, so you can work out any kinks separate from
your code changes.
Welcome and please do not hesitate to ask questions.

Hi Vipul,
One place to start would be to start fixing some of the discrepancies
between the client and embedded drivers. Look for open JIRA issues which
have the "Embedded/Client difference" box checked. DERBY-584 might be an
easy one to start with.
