[hibernate-dev] Contributed with HiRDB Dialect

[Tomoto Shimizu Washio]

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, there is no free version of HiRDB.  I think I could do
(a) running the tests in our side and sending you the result or
(b) getting a copy for you from my organization (perhaps arranging some
kind of contract would be required but I'm not sure).  Which do you want
me to do?

I guess (a) is easier for both of us if you don't have to keep HiRDB
with you for regular testing.  I already have the test result on 3.2.5.
If you would like me to test on another version, I could do it also.

Thanks,
Tomoto
