Description

It would be interesting to understand Derby's compatibility with other major DBMS implementations, such as: Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server, DB2, MySQL, etc.

I believe this would be an excellent project for a motivated Google Summer of Code intern.

The goal of the project would be to locate various existing compatibility test suites and bring them into the Derby test environment, as well as to augment those test suites with additional tests developed during the project.
