[MO-java-users] Contribution of enhancements to MockDatabaseMetaData class

[Tony O. <to...@co...>]

Out of necessity I've made changes to the MockDatabaseMetaData class and 
added implementation for a number of methods.....

getDatabaseProductName());
getDatabaseProductVersion());
getDriverVersion());
getDriverMajorVersion());
getDriverMinorVersion());
getCatalogTerm());
getSchemaTerm());
getProcedureTerm());
getMaxColumnsInTable());
getMaxColumnsInSelect());
getMaxColumnNameLength());
getDriverName());
getURL());
getUserName());
getSearchStringEscape());
getSQLKeywords());
getNumericFunctions());
getStringFunctions());
getTimeDateFunctions());
getSystemFunctions());

I'm happy and keen to contribute these changes to the project but did not 
see any link or suggestions on the home page that tells me how to 
contribute or what standards to follow.  These methods were simple to 
implement however I did provided default values for each of these 
properties which means a user of the mock object doesn't necessarily have 
to run the setup methods.  If that is considered bad form, I'll gladly 
remove the defaults.

If required to be able to contribute, I'm happy to implement more methods 
than those listed above, those were just the first ones I needed to use for 
my application.

Additionally, I want to add a setup method that will cause a SQLException 
to be thrown if accessing the getDatabaseProductName method which will 
allow me to accomplish 100% code coverage of a particular area of my 
code.  Is such a method acceptable?

I appreciate the help that has been given me on this list lately, I'm quite 
keen to become involved but have stuck to the non dynamic mock objects 
because they work a little better for me at the moment.  I'm sure I can be 
persuaded as time goes on....

thanks

Tony
