If IntegrityEnhancementFacility = integrity constraints then yes the
driver should return true. But I really don't know what
IntegretyEnhancementFacility means. It isn't discussed in either the
jdbc javadoc or the jdbc specs. It is entirely possible that it implies
a lot more than just plain integrity constraints in which case returning
false for this method may be the correct thing to do.

I believe this has already been answered, but the short answer is it
should work. It would be a bug if it didn't.
