## Description

## Features

## Open Issues

 * no db data type fits large amounts of text, clob can't be used since it is in a group by clause, which is suboptimal
 * identifier are limited to 30 characters, using _IDENTIFIER_MAPPING table to translate to abbreviated identifiers
 * adapter doesn't support transactions yet
 * search doesn't work yet
 * unit tests require a unit test user, since there is only one test schema, running multiple tests at once breaks
 * datetime helper functions not yet implemented

### Failing Tests
