Hi David Emerson, Great to hear you are working on a JDBC provider. I'm actually thinking of doing a similar thing, and think I'm pretty close, although I've only done it for one database, and need to convert it to hibernate to make it DB independant.
However I was wondering do you have DB Schema for the old version. I'd like to make the new DB tables as compatible to the old ones as possible, and having access to an old DB would be great. Is it possible for you to provide me the schema for the old JDBC provider? Or even better a sample DB dump?
