[hibernate-dev] solidDB Hibernate dialect ?

[Steve Ebersole]

In terms of actually getting it included?  Well just passing the 
testsuite is of course a first step.

Beyond that though I am a little leery of adding new dialects "just 
because someone contributed (dumped) it".  The reasoning is quite 
simple.  We have quite a bit of this type of "integration code" in 
Hibernate already that goes unmaintained for long spurts of time.  And 
truth be told a lot of it deals with DB2 variants and WebSphere which of 
course makes me a little even more leery here.  So for this aspect we 
would need you (or someone) to take ownership of this code.  If you 
agree to that we can discuss those particulars off list.

Also realize that the contributions *must* be LGPL.  We have had issues 
with that previously with regards to IBM employees and IBM's legal teams 
from LGPL FUD.  To that end, y'all must sign a contributor agreement 
accepting the terms of LGPL and agreeing to your contributions being 
made publicly available under its terms.

Also, how many Hibernate users are actually using solidDB?
