C.S. Nirmal J. Fernando commented on DERBY-4587:
------------------------------------------------

Hi Rick,

I have few comments regarding your latest comment.

* If the using style sheet is advanced (i.e. contains JS), currently tool follows a different way of transforming as I've described in previous comment. In this mode it can only provides a XML which is transformable through a web browser, given that the provided style sheet is present in the relative location to XML.

* Current behavior of the tool is if a user provided an incorrect style sheet path, the tool will automatically use the "vanilla_html.xsl" style sheet which is attached with derbytools.jar (this is not valid for advance feature).

* The "outputFileName" you refers to should be without an extension (i.e. xml or html), I think you meant the same thing.

These are the only comments that I have for now, regarding the API you have suggested. 
I think it's more simpler, thanks for suggesting.

> I think it would be great to see some work in the area of tools for helping
> with the analysis of complex query execution. Quite frequently, users of
> Derby have trouble comprehending (a) how their query is being translated
> into a query plan by the optimizer, and (b) what the execution-time resource
> usage of the various parts of the query is.
> There are low-level features in Derby which capture this information and
> record it, such as logQueryPlan, and the XPLAIN tables, but there is a lot
> of opportunity for designing higher-level tools which can process the query
> plan and execution statistics information and present it in a more
> comprehensible fashion.
