I am running hibernate tests on SAP SYBASE ASE database currently. I am looking 
to get advice on what the best solution is to these problems.I know some tests 
that could not be run on ASE, have been skipped using SkipForDialect annotation 
in the past.The issues I am listing are for the remaining tests.
1. Some tests like below create a "User" table, which is not allowed by ASE. 
This can be fixed (thanks Brett Meyer) by adding @Table annotation and renaming 
the  table by adding and escaping double quotes as "\"User\"" and setting 'set 
quoted_identifier on' option on ASE. If this change makes into the source code, 
would this impact testing of other databases?
  org.hibernate.test.cache.CollectionCacheEvictionTest 
2. Many tests like below create column names in smaller case but use names with 
uppercase in the sql that's generated. These tests fail on ASE because of its 
default setting of 'case sensitive'. This is easily fixed by setting ASE to 
ignore 'case' altogether. However I believe we need to be consistent with our 
naming conventions to avoid such problems. 
org.hibernate.test.annotations.entity.BasicHibernateAnnotationsTest  ----- 
CATEGORY column
3. Some tests like below use defaults for datetime columns as 
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. This needs to be replaced with getdate() for ASE. Is there a 
way, this can be made db independent or dynamic?
  org.hibernate.test.generated.DefaultGeneratedValueTest

The changes I make to source code to fix these issues on my machine would be 
overwritten every time I refresh the code from repository. So, I was wondering 
if there is a solution that resolves these issues for ASE but not impact 
testing on other databases.

Thanks
Mahesh
