[hibernate-dev] question on matrix testing

[Mahesh Gadgil]

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
