Also an interesting idea. I'll keep that in mind and in the meantime make a background task to investigate documentation on how one runs this against a DB, and what makes any given DB compatible or not. I would be happy to run it against something like Derby or MySQL. Well, any open source DB that I can reliably connect to from Java/Scala I guess.
Thanks for the idea Cam, much appreciated.
