SQLTypes cleanup

On first glance? I like it. I do wonder, however, if this kind of information is duplicated anywhere else in the codebase; is there any way that type conversion on the XML side can be shared with type conversion on the SQL side?

There must be some way to allow us to support the same field handlers as those used on the XML side. Is there a way for us to unify our handling to a common set of code, here? Does anyone on the XML side have an idea/opinion?

As for sqlToJavaName: If you don't see it being used, I don't see any problem with jettisoning the code; it's there in the repository if needed.

I like that patch too and also think we should remove unused methods. Searching a commons at type conversion between JDO and XML should be handled at another issue. IMO go ahead Stein.

Looks good to me. And lets's make sure we remove anything that isn't used as much as we can. And +1 for creating a new issue wrt to the JDO/XML type handling commonalities. Stein, can I assume that you will be checkstyling your patch before committing ?

Stein, can you please re-attach your patch, as it can not easily be allied against current CVS any more (as quite a lot of things have changed). Once you've done so, I'll remove the methods as discussed above, checkstyle and commit.

Stein, any chances of providing us with a new patch ?

Final patch of refactoring for review. I got a bit further by separating SQLTypeInfos and SQLTypeConverters.
