Thank you! I had already started trying to build for a different target DB. My requirements have changed a bit, my target DB now is MS SQL. So far I have followed your suggestions and the only blocking issue that I have is when trying to run the tables_sqlServer.sql script. The driver (I have tried both, sqljdbc.jar and jtds-1.1.jar) complains about the 'GO' statement. With the osql.exe utility the scripts runs ok... but maven has an issue... I will continue to investigate.
