[OJB-developers] Advice on DBMS naming needed

[Oleg N. <on...@uk...>]

Hi,

Some time ago DBMS settings where in repository.xml and their names where in 
mixed case: MySQL, Hsqldb, and so on. Platform class name where defined as 
"Platform" + dbms_name + "Impl", e.g. PlatformMySQLImpl, PlatformHsqldbImpl, 
and so on.
Then DBMS settings have moved to profile/*.profile and for some reason their 
names became lowercase:
  dbmsName=mysql
  dbmsName=hsqldb
At some point I changed the algoritm for Platform names to 
"Platform" + pf.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + pf.substring(1) + "Impl";
so that it handled Hsqldb correctly. But now I see that this is not enough.
I guess that the recently reported problem with MySQL may be due to this.
I propose to return to the original DBMS names with mixed case and to 
original Platform class name algorithm.
Thus I am going to write 
  dbmsName=MySQL
  dbmsName=Hsqldb
in profile files. 
Any objections?
And BTW the correct DBMS names should be listed in the documentation.
