Test 17 of the dbatt test in Perl DBD::ODBC fails with the Apache Derby ODBC driver. What can I do?

If you're using a 10.1 Derby server with a 1.4 Java Runtime Environment (JRE), test 17 fails.

The underlying reason for this is bug Derby-488:

DatabaseMetaData.getColumns() fails on iSeries JDK 1.4 with verifier error on generated class

To fix bug Derby-488, you can either upgrade to a more recent version of Derby or use a different JRE.
