Did you really think that an MS Access adapter would be just another
adapter? :-)
MS Access is used for some pretty foul smelling applications out there.
Lots of nasty issues and sordid histories. Often Access applications are
written by non-programmers who get into all sorts of trouble.
My goal with the MS Access adapter is to provide something that can
aid migration to a real database.
E.g. I don't have any particular issues with adding a 3 second delay to
MSAccessPkGenerator.autoPkTableExists() as long as it works reliably
enough to run the JUnit tests. Adding support for reverse engineering
would be nice, but I shudder at the thought since I don't think
the MS Access JDBC implementation will be stable enough(evidence so
far points towards lots of problems).
