advanced_1029_h2=Result Sets
advanced_1030_h3=Limiting the Number of Rows
advanced_1031_p=\ Before the result is returned to the application, all rows are read by the database. Server side cursors are not supported currently. If only the first few rows are interesting for the application, then the result set size should be limited to improve the performance. This can be done using <code>LIMIT</code> in a query (example\: <code>SELECT * FROM TEST LIMIT 100</code>), or by using <code>Statement.setMaxRows(max)</code>. 
advanced_1032_h3=Large Result Sets and External Sorting
advanced_1033_p=\ For large result set, the result is buffered to disk. The threshold can be defined using the statement <code>SET MAX_MEMORY_ROWS</code>. If <code>ORDER BY</code> is used, the sorting is done using an external sort algorithm. In this case, each block of rows is sorted using quick sort, then written to disk; when reading the data, the blocks are merged together. 
advanced_1034_h2=Large Objects
advanced_1035_h3=Storing and Reading Large Objects
advanced_1036_p=\ If it is possible that the objects don't fit into memory, then the data type CLOB (for textual data) or BLOB (for binary data) should be used. For these data types, the objects are not fully read into memory, by using streams. To store a BLOB, use <code>PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream</code>. To store a CLOB, use <code>PreparedStatement.setCharacterStream</code>. To read a BLOB, use <code>ResultSet.getBinaryStream</code>, and to read a CLOB, use <code>ResultSet.getCharacterStream</code>. When using the client/server mode, large BLOB and CLOB data is stored in a temporary file on the client side. 
advanced_1037_h3=When to use CLOB/BLOB
advanced_1038_p=\ This database stores large LOB (CLOB and BLOB) objects as separate files. Small LOB objects are stored in-place, the threshold can be set using <a href\="grammar.html\#set_max_length_inplace_lob" class\="notranslate" >MAX_LENGTH_INPLACE_LOB</a>, but there is still an overhead to use CLOB/BLOB. Because of this, BLOB and CLOB should never be used for columns with a maximum size below about 200 bytes. The best threshold depends on the use case; reading in-place objects is faster than reading from separate files, but slows down the performance of operations that don't involve this column. 
advanced_1039_h3=Large Object Compression
advanced_1040_p=\ CLOB and BLOB values can be compressed by using <a href\="grammar.html\#set_compress_lob" class\="notranslate" >SET COMPRESS_LOB</a>. The LZF algorithm is faster but needs more disk space. By default compression is disabled, which usually speeds up write operations. If you store many large compressible values such as XML, HTML, text, and uncompressed binary files, then compressing can save a lot of disk space (sometimes more than 50%), and read operations may even be faster. 
advanced_1041_h2=Linked Tables
advanced_1042_p=\ This database supports linked tables, which means tables that don't exist in the current database but are just links to another database. To create such a link, use the <code>CREATE LINKED TABLE</code> statement\: 
advanced_1043_p=\ You can then access the table in the usual way. Whenever the linked table is accessed, the database issues specific queries over JDBC. Using the example above, if you issue the query <code>SELECT * FROM LINK WHERE ID\=1</code>, then the following query is run against the PostgreSQL database\: <code>SELECT * FROM TEST WHERE ID\=?</code>. The same happens for insert and update statements. Only simple statements are executed against the target database, that means no joins. Prepared statements are used where possible. 
advanced_1044_p=\ To view the statements that are executed against the target table, set the trace level to 3. 
advanced_1045_p=\ If multiple linked tables point to the same database (using the same database URL), the connection is shared. To disable this, set the system property <code>h2.shareLinkedConnections\=false</code>. 
advanced_1046_p=\ The statement <a href\="grammar.html\#create_linked_table" class\="notranslate" >CREATE LINKED TABLE</a> supports an optional schema name parameter. 
advanced_1047_h2=Transaction Isolation
advanced_1048_p=\ Transaction isolation is provided for all data manipulation language (DML) statements. Most data definition language (DDL) statements commit the current transaction. See the <a href\="grammar.html">Grammar</a> for details. 
advanced_1049_p=\ This database supports the following transaction isolation levels\: 
advanced_1050_b=Read Committed
advanced_1051_li=\ This is the default level. Read locks are released immediately. Higher concurrency is possible when using this level.
advanced_1052_li=\ To enable, execute the SQL statement <code>SET LOCK_MODE 3</code>
advanced_1053_li=\ or append <code>;LOCK_MODE\=3</code> to the database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOCK_MODE\=3</code> 
advanced_1054_b=Serializable
advanced_1055_li=\ To enable, execute the SQL statement <code>SET LOCK_MODE 1</code>
advanced_1056_li=\ or append <code>;LOCK_MODE\=1</code> to the database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOCK_MODE\=1</code> 
advanced_1057_b=Read Uncommitted
advanced_1058_li=\ This level means that transaction isolation is disabled.
advanced_1059_li=\ To enable, execute the SQL statement <code>SET LOCK_MODE 0</code>
advanced_1060_li=\ or append <code>;LOCK_MODE\=0</code> to the database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOCK_MODE\=0</code> 
advanced_1061_p=\ When using the isolation level 'serializable', dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantom reads are prohibited. 
advanced_1062_b=Dirty Reads
advanced_1063_li=\ Means a connection can read uncommitted changes made by another connection.
advanced_1064_li=\ Possible with\: read uncommitted 
advanced_1065_b=Non-Repeatable Reads
advanced_1066_li=\ A connection reads a row, another connection changes a row and commits, and the first connection re-reads the same row and gets the new result.
advanced_1067_li=\ Possible with\: read uncommitted, read committed 
advanced_1068_b=Phantom Reads
advanced_1069_li=\ A connection reads a set of rows using a condition, another connection inserts a row that falls in this condition and commits, then the first connection re-reads using the same condition and gets the new row.
advanced_1070_li=\ Possible with\: read uncommitted, read committed 
advanced_1071_h3=Table Level Locking
advanced_1072_p=\ The database allows multiple concurrent connections to the same database. To make sure all connections only see consistent data, table level locking is used by default. This mechanism does not allow high concurrency, but is very fast. Shared locks and exclusive locks are supported. Before reading from a table, the database tries to add a shared lock to the table (this is only possible if there is no exclusive lock on the object by another connection). If the shared lock is added successfully, the table can be read. It is allowed that other connections also have a shared lock on the same object. If a connection wants to write to a table (update or delete a row), an exclusive lock is required. To get the exclusive lock, other connection must not have any locks on the object. After the connection commits, all locks are released. This database keeps all locks in memory. 
advanced_1073_h3=Lock Timeout
advanced_1074_p=\ If a connection cannot get a lock on an object, the connection waits for some amount of time (the lock timeout). During this time, hopefully the connection holding the lock commits and it is then possible to get the lock. If this is not possible because the other connection does not release the lock for some time, the unsuccessful connection will get a lock timeout exception. The lock timeout can be set individually for each connection. 
advanced_1075_h2=Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC)
advanced_1076_p=\ The MVCC feature allows higher concurrency than using (table level or row level) locks. When using MVCC in this database, delete, insert and update operations will only issue a shared lock on the table. An exclusive lock is still used when adding or removing columns, when dropping the table, and when using <code>SELECT ... FOR UPDATE</code>. Connections only 'see' committed data, and own changes. That means, if connection A updates a row but doesn't commit this change yet, connection B will see the old value. Only when the change is committed, the new value is visible by other connections (read committed). If multiple connections concurrently try to update the same row, the database waits until it can apply the change, but at most until the lock timeout expires. 
advanced_1077_p=\ To use the MVCC feature, append <code>;MVCC\=TRUE</code> to the database URL\: 
advanced_1078_p=\ The MVCC feature is not fully tested yet. The limitations of the MVCC mode are\: it can not be used at the same time as <code>MULTI_THREADED\=TRUE</code>; the complete undo log must fit in memory when using multi-version concurrency (the setting <code>MAX_MEMORY_UNDO</code> has no effect). 
advanced_1079_h2=Clustering / High Availability
advanced_1080_p=\ This database supports a simple clustering / high availability mechanism. The architecture is\: two database servers run on two different computers, and on both computers is a copy of the same database. If both servers run, each database operation is executed on both computers. If one server fails (power, hardware or network failure), the other server can still continue to work. From this point on, the operations will be executed only on one server until the other server is back up. 
advanced_1081_p=\ Clustering can only be used in the server mode (the embedded mode does not support clustering). It is possible to restore the cluster without stopping the server, however it is critical that no other application is changing the data in the first database while the second database is restored, so restoring the cluster is currently a manual process. 
advanced_1082_p=\ To initialize the cluster, use the following steps\: 
advanced_1083_li=Create a database 
advanced_1084_li=Use the <code>CreateCluster</code> tool to copy the database to another location and initialize the clustering. Afterwards, you have two databases containing the same data. 
advanced_1085_li=Start two servers (one for each copy of the database) 
advanced_1086_li=You are now ready to connect to the databases with the client application(s) 
advanced_1087_h3=Using the CreateCluster Tool
advanced_1088_p=\ To understand how clustering works, please try out the following example. In this example, the two databases reside on the same computer, but usually, the databases will be on different servers. 
advanced_1089_li=Create two directories\: <code>server1, server2</code>. Each directory will simulate a directory on a computer. 
advanced_1090_li=Start a TCP server pointing to the first directory. You can do this using the command line\: 
advanced_1091_li=Start a second TCP server pointing to the second directory. This will simulate a server running on a second (redundant) computer. You can do this using the command line\: 
advanced_1092_li=Use the <code>CreateCluster</code> tool to initialize clustering. This will automatically create a new, empty database if it does not exist. Run the tool on the command line\: 
advanced_1093_li=You can now connect to the databases using an application or the H2 Console using the JDBC URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost\:9101,localhost\:9102/~/test</code> 
advanced_1094_li=If you stop a server (by killing the process), you will notice that the other machine continues to work, and therefore the database is still accessible. 
advanced_1095_li=To restore the cluster, you first need to delete the database that failed, then restart the server that was stopped, and re-run the <code>CreateCluster</code> tool. 
advanced_1096_h3=Detect Which Cluster Instances are Running
advanced_1097_p=\ To find out which cluster nodes are currently running, execute the following SQL statement\: 
advanced_1098_p=\ If the result is <code>''</code> (two single quotes), then the cluster mode is disabled. Otherwise, the list of servers is returned, enclosed in single quote. Example\: <code>'server1\:9191,server2\:9191'</code>. 
advanced_1099_h3=Clustering Algorithm and Limitations
advanced_1100_p=\ Read-only queries are only executed against the first cluster node, but all other statements are executed against all nodes. There is currently no load balancing made to avoid problems with transactions. The following functions may yield different results on different cluster nodes and must be executed with care\: <code>RANDOM_UUID(), SECURE_RAND(), SESSION_ID(), MEMORY_FREE(), MEMORY_USED(), CSVREAD(), CSVWRITE(), RAND()</code> [when not using a seed]. Those functions should not be used directly in modifying statements (for example <code>INSERT, UPDATE, MERGE</code>). However, they can be used in read-only statements and the result can then be used for modifying statements. 
advanced_1101_h2=Two Phase Commit
advanced_1102_p=\ The two phase commit protocol is supported. 2-phase-commit works as follows\: 
advanced_1103_li=Autocommit needs to be switched off 
advanced_1104_li=A transaction is started, for example by inserting a row 
advanced_1105_li=The transaction is marked 'prepared' by executing the SQL statement <code>PREPARE COMMIT transactionName</code> 
advanced_1106_li=The transaction can now be committed or rolled back 
advanced_1107_li=If a problem occurs before the transaction was successfully committed or rolled back (for example because a network problem occurred), the transaction is in the state 'in-doubt' 
advanced_1108_li=When re-connecting to the database, the in-doubt transactions can be listed with <code>SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.IN_DOUBT</code> 
advanced_1109_li=Each transaction in this list must now be committed or rolled back by executing <code>COMMIT TRANSACTION transactionName</code> or <code>ROLLBACK TRANSACTION transactionName</code> 
advanced_1110_li=The database needs to be closed and re-opened to apply the changes 
advanced_1111_h2=Compatibility
advanced_1112_p=\ This database is (up to a certain point) compatible to other databases such as HSQLDB, MySQL and PostgreSQL. There are certain areas where H2 is incompatible. 
advanced_1113_h3=Transaction Commit when Autocommit is On
advanced_1114_p=\ At this time, this database engine commits a transaction (if autocommit is switched on) just before returning the result. For a query, this means the transaction is committed even before the application scans through the result set, and before the result set is closed. Other database engines may commit the transaction in this case when the result set is closed. 
advanced_1115_h3=Keywords / Reserved Words
advanced_1116_p=\ There is a list of keywords that can't be used as identifiers (table names, column names and so on), unless they are quoted (surrounded with double quotes). The list is currently\: 
advanced_1117_code=\ CROSS, CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, DISTINCT, EXCEPT, EXISTS, FALSE, FOR, FROM, FULL, GROUP, HAVING, INNER, INTERSECT, IS, JOIN, LIKE, LIMIT, MINUS, NATURAL, NOT, NULL, ON, ORDER, PRIMARY, ROWNUM, SELECT, SYSDATE, SYSTIME, SYSTIMESTAMP, TODAY, TRUE, UNION, WHERE 
advanced_1118_p=\ Certain words of this list are keywords because they are functions that can be used without '()' for compatibility, for example <code>CURRENT_TIMESTAMP</code>. 
advanced_1119_h2=Standards Compliance
advanced_1120_p=\ This database tries to be as much standard compliant as possible. For the SQL language, ANSI/ISO is the main standard. There are several versions that refer to the release date\: SQL-92, SQL\:1999, and SQL\:2003. Unfortunately, the standard documentation is not freely available. Another problem is that important features are not standardized. Whenever this is the case, this database tries to be compatible to other databases. 
advanced_1121_h2=Run as Windows Service
advanced_1122_p=\ Using a native wrapper / adapter, Java applications can be run as a Windows Service. There are various tools available to do that. The Java Service Wrapper from <a href\="http\://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org">Tanuki Software, Inc.</a> is included in the installation. Batch files are provided to install, start, stop and uninstall the H2 Database Engine Service. This service contains the TCP Server and the H2 Console web application. The batch files are located in the directory <code>h2/service</code>. 
advanced_1123_h3=Install the Service
advanced_1124_p=\ The service needs to be registered as a Windows Service first. To do that, double click on <code>1_install_service.bat</code>. If successful, a command prompt window will pop up and disappear immediately. If not, a message will appear. 
advanced_1125_h3=Start the Service
advanced_1126_p=\ You can start the H2 Database Engine Service using the service manager of Windows, or by double clicking on <code>2_start_service.bat</code>. Please note that the batch file does not print an error message if the service is not installed. 
advanced_1127_h3=Connect to the H2 Console
advanced_1128_p=\ After installing and starting the service, you can connect to the H2 Console application using a browser. Double clicking on <code>3_start_browser.bat</code> to do that. The default port (8082) is hard coded in the batch file. 
advanced_1129_h3=Stop the Service
advanced_1130_p=\ To stop the service, double click on <code>4_stop_service.bat</code>. Please note that the batch file does not print an error message if the service is not installed or started. 
advanced_1131_h3=Uninstall the Service
advanced_1132_p=\ To uninstall the service, double click on <code>5_uninstall_service.bat</code>. If successful, a command prompt window will pop up and disappear immediately. If not, a message will appear. 
advanced_1133_h2=ODBC Driver
advanced_1134_p=\ This database does not come with its own ODBC driver at this time, but it supports the PostgreSQL network protocol. Therefore, the PostgreSQL ODBC driver can be used. Support for the PostgreSQL network protocol is quite new and should be viewed as experimental. It should not be used for production applications. 
advanced_1135_p=\ To use the PostgreSQL ODBC driver on 64 bit versions of Windows, first run <code>c\:/windows/syswow64/odbcad32.exe</code>. At this point you set up your DSN just like you would on any other system. See also\: <a href\="http\://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2005-09/msg00125.php">Re\: ODBC Driver on Windows 64 bit</a> 
advanced_1136_h3=ODBC Installation
advanced_1137_p=\ First, the ODBC driver must be installed. Any recent PostgreSQL ODBC driver should work, however version 8.2 (<code>psqlodbc-08_02*</code>) or newer is recommended. The Windows version of the PostgreSQL ODBC driver is available at <a href\="http\://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi">http\://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi</a>. 
advanced_1138_h3=Starting the Server
advanced_1139_p=\ After installing the ODBC driver, start the H2 Server using the command line\: 
advanced_1140_p=\ The PG Server (PG for PostgreSQL protocol) is started as well. By default, databases are stored in the current working directory where the server is started. Use <code>-baseDir</code> to save databases in another directory, for example the user home directory\: 
advanced_1141_p=\ The PG server can be started and stopped from within a Java application as follows\: 
advanced_1142_p=\ By default, only connections from localhost are allowed. To allow remote connections, use <code>-pgAllowOthers</code> when starting the server. 
advanced_1143_h3=ODBC Configuration
advanced_1144_p=\ After installing the driver, a new Data Source must be added. In Windows, run <code>odbcad32.exe</code> to open the Data Source Administrator. Then click on 'Add...' and select the PostgreSQL Unicode driver. Then click 'Finish'. You will be able to change the connection properties\:

advanced_1175_p=\ Afterwards, you may use this data source. 
advanced_1176_h3=PG Protocol Support Limitations
advanced_1177_p=\ At this time, only a subset of the PostgreSQL network protocol is implemented. Also, there may be compatibility problems on the SQL level, with the catalog, or with text encoding. Problems are fixed as they are found. Currently, statements can not be canceled when using the PG protocol. 
advanced_1178_p=\ PostgreSQL ODBC Driver Setup requires a database password; that means it is not possible to connect to H2 databases without password. This is a limitation of the ODBC driver. 
advanced_1179_h3=Security Considerations
advanced_1180_p=\ Currently, the PG Server does not support challenge response or encrypt passwords. This may be a problem if an attacker can listen to the data transferred between the ODBC driver and the server, because the password is readable to the attacker. Also, it is currently not possible to use encrypted SSL connections. Therefore the ODBC driver should not be used where security is important. 
advanced_1181_h2=Using H2 in Microsoft .NET
advanced_1182_p=\ The database can be used from Microsoft .NET even without using Java, by using IKVM.NET. You can access a H2 database on .NET using the JDBC API, or using the ADO.NET interface. 
advanced_1183_h3=Using the ADO.NET API on .NET
advanced_1184_p=\ An implementation of the ADO.NET interface is available in the open source project <a href\="http\://code.google.com/p/h2sharp">H2Sharp</a>. 
advanced_1185_h3=Using the JDBC API on .NET
advanced_1186_li=Install the .NET Framework from <a href\="http\://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</a>. Mono has not yet been tested.

advanced_1189_li=Run the H2 Console using\: <code>ikvm -jar h2*.jar</code> 
advanced_1190_li=Convert the H2 Console to an <code>.exe</code> file using\: <code>ikvmc -target\:winexe h2*.jar</code>. You may ignore the warnings. 
advanced_1191_li=Create a <code>.dll</code> file using (change the version accordingly)\: <code>ikvmc.exe -target\:library -version\:1.0.69.0 h2*.jar</code> 
advanced_1192_p=\ If you want your C\# application use H2, you need to add the <code>h2.dll</code> and the <code>IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll</code> to your C\# solution. Here some sample code\: 
advanced_1193_h2=ACID
advanced_1194_p=\ In the database world, ACID stands for\: 
advanced_1195_li=Atomicity\: transactions must be atomic, meaning either all tasks are performed or none. 
advanced_1196_li=Consistency\: all operations must comply with the defined constraints. 
advanced_1197_li=Isolation\: transactions must be isolated from each other. 
advanced_1198_li=Durability\: committed transaction will not be lost. 
advanced_1199_h3=Atomicity
advanced_1200_p=\ Transactions in this database are always atomic. 
advanced_1201_h3=Consistency
advanced_1202_p=\ By default, this database is always in a consistent state. Referential integrity rules are enforced except when explicitly disabled. 
advanced_1203_h3=Isolation
advanced_1204_p=\ For H2, as with most other database systems, the default isolation level is 'read committed'. This provides better performance, but also means that transactions are not completely isolated. H2 supports the transaction isolation levels 'serializable', 'read committed', and 'read uncommitted'. 
advanced_1205_h3=Durability
advanced_1206_p=\ This database does not guarantee that all committed transactions survive a power failure. Tests show that all databases sometimes lose transactions on power failure (for details, see below). Where losing transactions is not acceptable, a laptop or UPS (uninterruptible power supply) should be used. If durability is required for all possible cases of hardware failure, clustering should be used, such as the H2 clustering mode. 
advanced_1207_h2=Durability Problems
advanced_1208_p=\ Complete durability means all committed transaction survive a power failure. Some databases claim they can guarantee durability, but such claims are wrong. A durability test was run against H2, HSQLDB, PostgreSQL, and Derby. All of those databases sometimes lose committed transactions. The test is included in the H2 download, see <code>org.h2.test.poweroff.Test</code>. 
advanced_1209_h3=Ways to (Not) Achieve Durability
advanced_1210_p=\ Making sure that committed transactions are not lost is more complicated than it seems first. To guarantee complete durability, a database must ensure that the log record is on the hard drive before the commit call returns. To do that, databases use different methods. One is to use the 'synchronous write' file access mode. In Java, <code>RandomAccessFile</code> supports the modes <code>rws</code> and <code>rwd</code>\: 
advanced_1211_code=rwd
advanced_1212_li=\: every update to the file's content is written synchronously to the underlying storage device. 
advanced_1213_code=rws
advanced_1214_li=\: in addition to <code>rwd</code>, every update to the metadata is written synchronously.
advanced_1215_p=\ A test (<code>org.h2.test.poweroff.TestWrite</code>) with one of those modes achieves around 50 thousand write operations per second. Even when the operating system write buffer is disabled, the write rate is around 50 thousand operations per second. This feature does not force changes to disk because it does not flush all buffers. The test updates the same byte in the file again and again. If the hard drive was able to write at this rate, then the disk would need to make at least 50 thousand revolutions per second, or 3 million RPM (revolutions per minute). There are no such hard drives. The hard drive used for the test is about 7200 RPM, or about 120 revolutions per second. There is an overhead, so the maximum write rate must be lower than that. 
advanced_1216_p=\ Calling <code>fsync</code> flushes the buffers. There are two ways to do that in Java\: 
advanced_1217_code=FileDescriptor.sync()
advanced_1218_li=. The documentation says that this forces all system buffers to synchronize with the underlying device. This method is supposed to return after all in-memory modified copies of buffers associated with this file descriptor have been written to the physical medium. 
advanced_1219_code=FileChannel.force()
advanced_1220_li=\ (since JDK 1.4). This method is supposed to force any updates to this channel's file to be written to the storage device that contains it. 
advanced_1221_p=\ By default, MySQL calls <code>fsync</code> for each commit. When using one of those methods, only around 60 write operations per second can be achieved, which is consistent with the RPM rate of the hard drive used. Unfortunately, even when calling <code>FileDescriptor.sync()</code> or <code>FileChannel.force()</code>, data is not always persisted to the hard drive, because most hard drives do not obey <code>fsync()</code>\: see <a href\="http\://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid\=05/05/13/0529252">Your Hard Drive Lies to You</a>. In Mac OS X, <code>fsync</code> does not flush hard drive buffers. See <a href\="http\://lists.apple.com/archives/darwin-dev/2005/Feb/msg00072.html">Bad fsync?</a>. So the situation is confusing, and tests prove there is a problem. 
advanced_1222_p=\ Trying to flush hard drive buffers is hard, and if you do the performance is very bad. First you need to make sure that the hard drive actually flushes all buffers. Tests show that this can not be done in a reliable way. Then the maximum number of transactions is around 60 per second. Because of those reasons, the default behavior of H2 is to delay writing committed transactions. 
advanced_1223_p=\ In H2, after a power failure, a bit more than one second of committed transactions may be lost. To change the behavior, use <code>SET WRITE_DELAY</code> and <code>CHECKPOINT SYNC</code>. Most other databases support commit delay as well. In the performance comparison, commit delay was used for all databases that support it. 
advanced_1224_h3=Running the Durability Test
advanced_1225_p=\ To test the durability / non-durability of this and other databases, you can use the test application in the package <code>org.h2.test.poweroff</code>. Two computers with network connection are required to run this test. One computer just listens, while the test application is run (and power is cut) on the other computer. The computer with the listener application opens a TCP/IP port and listens for an incoming connection. The second computer first connects to the listener, and then created the databases and starts inserting records. The connection is set to 'autocommit', which means after each inserted record a commit is performed automatically. Afterwards, the test computer notifies the listener that this record was inserted successfully. The listener computer displays the last inserted record number every 10 seconds. Now, switch off the power manually, then restart the computer, and run the application again. You will find out that in most cases, none of the databases contains all the records that the listener computer knows about. For details, please consult the source code of the listener and test application. 
advanced_1226_h2=Using the Recover Tool
advanced_1227_p=\ The <code>Recover</code> tool can be used to extract the contents of a data file, even if the database is corrupted. It also extracts the content of the log file or large objects (CLOB or BLOB). To run the tool, type on the command line\: 
advanced_1228_p=\ For each database in the current directory, a text file will be created. This file contains raw insert statements (for the data) and data definition (DDL) statements to recreate the schema of the database. This file can be executed using the <code>RunScript</code> tool or a <code>RUNSCRIPT FROM</code> SQL statement. The script includes at least one <code>CREATE USER</code> statement. If you run the script against a database that was created with the same user, or if there are conflicting users, running the script will fail. Consider running the script against a database that was created with a user name that is not in the script. 
advanced_1229_p=\ The <code>Recover</code> tool creates a SQL script from database files. It also processes the transaction log file(s), however it does not automatically apply those changes. Usually, many of those changes are already applied in the database. 
advanced_1230_h2=File Locking Protocols
advanced_1231_p=\ Whenever a database is opened, a lock file is created to signal other processes that the database is in use. If the database is closed, or if the process that opened the database terminates, this lock file is deleted. 
advanced_1232_p=\ In special cases (if the process did not terminate normally, for example because there was a power failure), the lock file is not deleted by the process that created it. That means the existence of the lock file is not a safe protocol for file locking. However, this software uses a challenge-response protocol to protect the database files. There are two methods (algorithms) implemented to provide both security (that is, the same database files cannot be opened by two processes at the same time) and simplicity (that is, the lock file does not need to be deleted manually by the user). The two methods are 'file method' and 'socket methods'. 
advanced_1233_p=\ The file locking protocols have the following limitation\: if a shared file system is used, and the machine with the lock owner is sent to sleep (standby or hibernate), another machine may take over. If the machine that originally held the lock wakes up, the database may become corrupt. If this situation can occur, the application must ensure the database is closed when the application is put to sleep. 
advanced_1234_h3=File Locking Method 'File'
advanced_1235_p=\ The default method for database file locking is the 'File Method'. The algorithm is\: 
advanced_1236_li=If the lock file does not exist, it is created (using the atomic operation <code>File.createNewFile</code>). Then, the process waits a little bit (20 ms) and checks the file again. If the file was changed during this time, the operation is aborted. This protects against a race condition when one process deletes the lock file just after another one create it, and a third process creates the file again. It does not occur if there are only two writers. 
advanced_1237_li=\ If the file can be created, a random number is inserted together with the locking method ('file'). Afterwards, a watchdog thread is started that checks regularly (every second once by default) if the file was deleted or modified by another (challenger) thread / process. Whenever that occurs, the file is overwritten with the old data. The watchdog thread runs with high priority so that a change to the lock file does not get through undetected even if the system is very busy. However, the watchdog thread does use very little resources (CPU time), because it waits most of the time. Also, the watchdog only reads from the hard disk and does not write to it. 
advanced_1238_li=\ If the lock file exists and was recently modified, the process waits for some time (up to two seconds). If it was still changed, an exception is thrown (database is locked). This is done to eliminate race conditions with many concurrent writers. Afterwards, the file is overwritten with a new version (challenge). After that, the thread waits for 2 seconds. If there is a watchdog thread protecting the file, he will overwrite the change and this process will fail to lock the database. However, if there is no watchdog thread, the lock file will still be as written by this thread. In this case, the file is deleted and atomically created again. The watchdog thread is started in this case and the file is locked. 
advanced_1239_p=\ This algorithm is tested with over 100 concurrent threads. In some cases, when there are many concurrent threads trying to lock the database, they block each other (meaning the file cannot be locked by any of them) for some time. However, the file never gets locked by two threads at the same time. However using that many concurrent threads / processes is not the common use case. Generally, an application should throw an error to the user if it cannot open a database, and not try again in a (fast) loop. 
advanced_1240_h3=File Locking Method 'Socket'
advanced_1241_p=\ There is a second locking mechanism implemented, but disabled by default. To use it, append <code>;FILE_LOCK\=SOCKET</code> to the database URL. The algorithm is\: 
advanced_1242_li=If the lock file does not exist, it is created. Then a server socket is opened on a defined port, and kept open. The port and IP address of the process that opened the database is written into the lock file. 
advanced_1243_li=If the lock file exists, and the lock method is 'file', then the software switches to the 'file' method. 
advanced_1244_li=If the lock file exists, and the lock method is 'socket', then the process checks if the port is in use. If the original process is still running, the port is in use and this process throws an exception (database is in use). If the original process died (for example due to a power failure, or abnormal termination of the virtual machine), then the port was released. The new process deletes the lock file and starts again. 
advanced_1245_p=\ This method does not require a watchdog thread actively polling (reading) the same file every second. The problem with this method is, if the file is stored on a network share, two processes (running on different computers) could still open the same database files, if they do not have a direct TCP/IP connection. 
advanced_1246_h2=File Locking Method 'Serialized'
advanced_1247_p=\ This locking mode allows to open multiple connections to the same database. The connections may be opened from multiple processes and from different computers. When writing to the database, access is automatically synchronized internally. Write operations are slower than when using the server mode, and concurrency is relatively poor. The advantage of this mode is that there is no need to start a server. 
advanced_1248_p=\ To enable this feature, append <code>;FILE_LOCK\=SERIALIZED</code> to the database URL. 
advanced_1249_p=\ This feature is relatively new. When using it for production, please ensure your use case is well tested (if possible with automated test cases). To simulate opening the same database from multiple computers within a test case, also append <code>;OPEN_NEW\=TRUE</code> to the database URL (this feature is not needed in production). 
advanced_1250_h2=Protection against SQL Injection
advanced_1251_h3=What is SQL Injection
advanced_1252_p=\ This database engine provides a solution for the security vulnerability known as 'SQL Injection'. Here is a short description of what SQL injection means. Some applications build SQL statements with embedded user input such as\: 
advanced_1253_p=\ If this mechanism is used anywhere in the application, and user input is not correctly filtered or encoded, it is possible for a user to inject SQL functionality or statements by using specially built input such as (in this example) this password\: <code>' OR ''\='</code>. In this case the statement becomes\: 
advanced_1254_p=\ Which is always true no matter what the password stored in the database is. For more information about SQL Injection, see <a href\="\#glossary_links">Glossary and Links</a>. 
advanced_1255_h3=Disabling Literals
advanced_1256_p=\ SQL Injection is not possible if user input is not directly embedded in SQL statements. A simple solution for the problem above is to use a prepared statement\: 
advanced_1257_p=\ This database provides a way to enforce usage of parameters when passing user input to the database. This is done by disabling embedded literals in SQL statements. To do this, execute the statement\: 
advanced_1258_p=\ Afterwards, SQL statements with text and number literals are not allowed any more. That means, SQL statement of the form <code>WHERE NAME\='abc'</code> or <code>WHERE CustomerId\=10</code> will fail. It is still possible to use prepared statements and parameters as described above. Also, it is still possible to generate SQL statements dynamically, and use the Statement API, as long as the SQL statements do not include literals. There is also a second mode where number literals are allowed\: <code>SET ALLOW_LITERALS NUMBERS</code>. To allow all literals, execute <code>SET ALLOW_LITERALS ALL</code> (this is the default setting). Literals can only be enabled or disabled by an administrator. 
advanced_1259_h3=Using Constants
advanced_1260_p=\ Disabling literals also means disabling hard-coded 'constant' literals. This database supports defining constants using the <code>CREATE CONSTANT</code> command. Constants can be defined only when literals are enabled, but used even when literals are disabled. To avoid name clashes with column names, constants can be defined in other schemas\: 
advanced_1261_p=\ Even when literals are enabled, it is better to use constants instead of hard-coded number or text literals in queries or views. With constants, typos are found at compile time, the source code is easier to understand and change. 
advanced_1262_h3=Using the ZERO() Function
advanced_1263_p=\ It is not required to create a constant for the number 0 as there is already a built-in function <code>ZERO()</code>\: 
advanced_1264_h2=Protection against Remote Access
advanced_1265_p=\ By default this database does not allow connections from other machines when starting the H2 Console, the TCP server, or the PG server. Remote access can be enabled using the command line options <code>-webAllowOthers, -tcpAllowOthers, -pgAllowOthers</code>. If you enable remote access, please also consider using the options <code>-baseDir, -ifExists</code>, so that remote users can not create new databases or access existing databases with weak passwords. Also, ensure the existing accessible databases are protected using a strong password. 
advanced_1266_h2=Restricting Class Loading and Usage
advanced_1267_p=\ By default there is no restriction on loading classes and executing Java code for admins. That means an admin may call system functions such as <code>System.setProperty</code> by executing\: 
advanced_1268_p=\ To restrict users (including admins) from loading classes and executing code, the list of allowed classes can be set in the system property <code>h2.allowedClasses</code> in the form of a comma separated list of classes or patterns (items ending with <code>*</code>). By default all classes are allowed. Example\: 
advanced_1269_p=\ This mechanism is used for all user classes, including database event listeners, trigger classes, user-defined functions, user-defined aggregate functions, and JDBC driver classes (with the exception of the H2 driver) when using the H2 Console. 
advanced_1270_h2=Security Protocols
advanced_1271_p=\ The following paragraphs document the security protocols used in this database. These descriptions are very technical and only intended for security experts that already know the underlying security primitives. 
advanced_1272_h3=User Password Encryption
advanced_1273_p=\ When a user tries to connect to a database, the combination of user name, @, and password are hashed using SHA-256, and this hash value is transmitted to the database. This step does not protect against an attacker that re-uses the value if he is able to listen to the (unencrypted) transmission between the client and the server. But, the passwords are never transmitted as plain text, even when using an unencrypted connection between client and server. That means if a user reuses the same password for different things, this password is still protected up to some point. See also 'RFC 2617 - HTTP Authentication\: Basic and Digest Access Authentication' for more information. 
advanced_1274_p=\ When a new database or user is created, a new cryptographically secure random salt value is generated. The size of the salt is 64 bits. Using the random salt reduces the risk of an attacker pre-calculating hash values for many different (commonly used) passwords. 
advanced_1275_p=\ The combination of user-password hash value (see above) and salt is hashed using SHA-256. The resulting value is stored in the database. When a user tries to connect to the database, the database combines user-password hash value with the stored salt value and calculates the hash value. Other products use multiple iterations (hash the hash value again and again), but this is not done in this product to reduce the risk of denial of service attacks (where the attacker tries to connect with bogus passwords, and the server spends a lot of time calculating the hash value for each password). The reasoning is\: if the attacker has access to the hashed passwords, he also has access to the data in plain text, and therefore does not need the password any more. If the data is protected by storing it on another computer and only accessible remotely, then the iteration count is not required at all. 
advanced_1276_h3=File Encryption
advanced_1277_p=\ The database files can be encrypted using two different algorithms\: AES-128 and XTEA (using 32 rounds). The reasons for supporting XTEA is performance (XTEA is about twice as fast as AES) and to have an alternative algorithm if AES is suddenly broken. 
advanced_1278_p=\ When a user tries to connect to an encrypted database, the combination of <code>file@</code> and the file password is hashed using SHA-256. This hash value is transmitted to the server. 
advanced_1279_p=\ When a new database file is created, a new cryptographically secure random salt value is generated. The size of the salt is 64 bits. The combination of the file password hash and the salt value is hashed 1024 times using SHA-256. The reason for the iteration is to make it harder for an attacker to calculate hash values for common passwords. 
advanced_1280_p=\ The resulting hash value is used as the key for the block cipher algorithm (AES-128 or XTEA with 32 rounds). Then, an initialization vector (IV) key is calculated by hashing the key again using SHA-256. This is to make sure the IV is unknown to the attacker. The reason for using a secret IV is to protect against watermark attacks. 
advanced_1281_p=\ Before saving a block of data (each block is 8 bytes long), the following operations are executed\: first, the IV is calculated by encrypting the block number with the IV key (using the same block cipher algorithm). This IV is combined with the plain text using XOR. The resulting data is encrypted using the AES-128 or XTEA algorithm. 
advanced_1282_p=\ When decrypting, the operation is done in reverse. First, the block is decrypted using the key, and then the IV is calculated combined with the decrypted text using XOR. 
advanced_1283_p=\ Therefore, the block cipher mode of operation is CBC (cipher-block chaining), but each chain is only one block long. The advantage over the ECB (electronic codebook) mode is that patterns in the data are not revealed, and the advantage over multi block CBC is that flipped cipher text bits are not propagated to flipped plaintext bits in the next block. 
advanced_1284_p=\ Database encryption is meant for securing the database while it is not in use (stolen laptop and so on). It is not meant for cases where the attacker has access to files while the database is in use. When he has write access, he can for example replace pieces of files with pieces of older versions and manipulate data like this. 
advanced_1285_p=\ File encryption slows down the performance of the database engine. Compared to unencrypted mode, database operations take about 2.2 times longer when using XTEA, and 2.5 times longer using AES (embedded mode). 
advanced_1286_h3=Wrong Password / User Name Delay
advanced_1287_p=\ To protect against remote brute force password attacks, the delay after each unsuccessful login gets double as long. Use the system properties <code>h2.delayWrongPasswordMin</code> and <code>h2.delayWrongPasswordMax</code> to change the minimum (the default is 250 milliseconds) or maximum delay (the default is 4000 milliseconds, or 4 seconds). The delay only applies for those using the wrong password. Normally there is no delay for a user that knows the correct password, with one exception\: after using the wrong password, there is a delay of up to (randomly distributed) the same delay as for a wrong password. This is to protect against parallel brute force attacks, so that an attacker needs to wait for the whole delay. Delays are synchronized. This is also required to protect against parallel attacks. 
advanced_1288_p=\ There is only one exception message for both wrong user and for wrong password, to make it harder to get the list of user names. It is not possible from the stack trace to see if the user name was wrong or the password. 
advanced_1289_h3=HTTPS Connections
advanced_1290_p=\ The web server supports HTTP and HTTPS connections using <code>SSLServerSocket</code>. There is a default self-certified certificate to support an easy starting point, but custom certificates are supported as well. 
advanced_1291_h2=SSL/TLS Connections
advanced_1292_p=\ Remote SSL/TLS connections are supported using the Java Secure Socket Extension (<code>SSLServerSocket, SSLSocket</code>). By default, anonymous SSL is enabled. The default cipher suite is <code>SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5</code>. 
advanced_1293_p=\ To use your own keystore, set the system properties <code>javax.net.ssl.keyStore</code> and <code>javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword</code> before starting the H2 server and client. See also <a href\="http\://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html\#CustomizingStores"> Customizing the Default Key and Trust Stores, Store Types, and Store Passwords</a> for more information. 
advanced_1294_p=\ To disable anonymous SSL, set the system property <code>h2.enableAnonymousSSL</code> to false. 
advanced_1295_h2=Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID)
advanced_1296_p=\ This database supports UUIDs. Also supported is a function to create new UUIDs using a cryptographically strong pseudo random number generator. With random UUIDs, the chance of two having the same value can be calculated using the probability theory. See also 'Birthday Paradox'. Standardized randomly generated UUIDs have 122 random bits. 4 bits are used for the version (Randomly generated UUID), and 2 bits for the variant (Leach-Salz). This database supports generating such UUIDs using the built-in function <code>RANDOM_UUID()</code>. Here is a small program to estimate the probability of having two identical UUIDs after generating a number of values\: 
advanced_1297_p=\ Some values are\: 
advanced_1298_th=Number of UUIs
advanced_1299_th=Probability of Duplicates
advanced_1300_td=2^36\=68'719'476'736
advanced_1301_td=0.000'000'000'000'000'4
advanced_1302_td=2^41\=2'199'023'255'552
advanced_1303_td=0.000'000'000'000'4
advanced_1304_td=2^46\=70'368'744'177'664
advanced_1305_td=0.000'000'000'4
advanced_1306_p=\ To help non-mathematicians understand what those numbers mean, here a comparison\: one's annual risk of being hit by a meteorite is estimated to be one chance in 17 billion, that means the probability is about 0.000'000'000'06. 
advanced_1307_h2=Settings Read from System Properties
advanced_1308_p=\ Some settings of the database can be set on the command line using <code>-DpropertyName\=value</code>. It is usually not required to change those settings manually. The settings are case sensitive. Example\: 
advanced_1309_p=\ The current value of the settings can be read in the table <code>INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS</code>. 
advanced_1310_p=\ For a complete list of settings, see <a href\="../javadoc/org/h2/constant/SysProperties.html">SysProperties</a>. 
advanced_1311_h2=Setting the Server Bind Address
advanced_1312_p=\ Usually server sockets accept connections on any/all local addresses. This may be a problem on multi-homed hosts. To bind only to one address, use the system property <code>h2.bindAddress</code>. This setting is used for both regular server sockets and for SSL server sockets. IPv4 and IPv6 address formats are supported. 
advanced_1313_h2=Pluggable File System
advanced_1314_p=\ This database supports a pluggable file system API. The file system implementation is selected using a file name prefix. The following file systems are included\: 
advanced_1315_code=zip\:
advanced_1316_li=\ read-only zip-file based file system. Format\: <code>zip\:/zipFileName\!/fileName</code>. 
advanced_1317_code=nio\:
advanced_1318_li=\ file system that uses <code>FileChannel</code> instead of <code>RandomAccessFile</code> (faster in some operating systems). 
advanced_1319_code=nioMapped\:
advanced_1320_li=\ file system that uses memory mapped files (faster in some operating systems). 
advanced_1321_code=split\:
advanced_1322_li=\ file system that splits files in 1 GB files (stackable with other file systems). 
advanced_1323_code=memFS\:
advanced_1324_li=\ in-memory file system (experimental; used for testing). 
advanced_1325_code=memLZF\:
advanced_1326_li=\ compressing in-memory file system (experimental; used for testing). 
advanced_1327_p=\ As an example, to use the the <code>nio</code> file system, use the following database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:nio\:~/test</code>. 
advanced_1328_p=\ To register a new file system, extend the classes <code>org.h2.store.fs.FileSystem, FileObject</code>, and call the method <code>FileSystem.register</code> before using it. 
advanced_1329_h2=Limits and Limitations
advanced_1330_p=\ This database has the following known limitations\: 
advanced_1331_li=Database file size limits (excluding BLOB and CLOB data)\: With the default storage mechanism, the maximum file size is currently 256 GB for the data, and 256 GB for the index. With the page store (experimental)\: 4 TB or higher. 
advanced_1332_li=BLOB and CLOB size limit\: every CLOB or BLOB can be up to 256 GB. 
advanced_1333_li=The maximum file size for FAT or FAT32 file systems is 4 GB. That means when using FAT or FAT32, the limit is 4 GB for the data. This is the limitation of the file system. The database does provide a workaround for this problem, it is to use the file name prefix <code>split\:</code>. In that case files are split into files of 1 GB by default. An example database URL is\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:split\:~/test</code>. 
advanced_1334_li=The maximum number of rows per table is 2'147'483'648. 
advanced_1335_li=Main memory requirements\: The larger the database, the more main memory is required. With the default storage mechanism, the minimum main memory required for a 12 GB database is around 240 MB.

build_1025_li=\ (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) 
build_1026_a=Maven 2.0.9
build_1027_h2=Building the Software
build_1028_p=\ You need to install a JDK, for example the Sun JDK version 1.5 or 1.6. Ensure that Java binary directory is included in the <code>PATH</code> environment variable, and that the environment variable <code>JAVA_HOME</code> points to your Java installation. On the command line, go to the directory <code>h2</code> and execute the following command\: 
build_1029_p=\ For Linux and OS X, use <code>./build.sh</code> instead of <code>build</code>. 
build_1030_p=\ You will get a list of targets. If you want to build the <code>jar</code> file, execute (Windows)\: 
build_1031_h3=Switching the Source Code
build_1032_p=\ By default the source code uses Java 1.5 features, however Java 1.6 is supported as well. To switch the source code to the installed version of Java, run\: 
build_1033_h2=Build Targets
build_1034_p=\ The build system can generate smaller jar files as well. The following targets are currently supported\: 
build_1035_code=jarClient
build_1036_li=\ creates the file <code>h2client.jar</code>. This only contains the JDBC client. 
build_1037_code=jarSmall
build_1038_li=\ creates the file <code>h2small.jar</code>. This only contains the embedded database. Debug information is disabled. 
build_1039_code=jarJaqu
build_1040_li=\ creates the file <code>h2jaqu.jar</code>. This only contains the JaQu (Java Query) implementation. All other jar files do not include JaQu. 
build_1041_code=javadocImpl
build_1042_li=\ creates the Javadocs of the implementation. 
build_1043_p=\ To create the file <code>h2client.jar</code>, go to the directory <code>h2</code> and execute the following command\: 
build_1044_h2=Using Maven 2
build_1045_h3=Using a Central Repository
build_1046_p=\ You can include the database in your Maven 2 project as a dependency. Example\: 
build_1047_p=\ New versions of this database are first uploaded to http\://hsql.sourceforge.net/m2-repo/ and then automatically synchronized with the main Maven repository; however after a new release it may take a few hours before they are available there. 
build_1048_h3=Using Snapshot Version
build_1049_p=\ To build a <code>h2-*-SNAPSHOT.jar</code> file and upload it the to the local Maven 2 repository, execute the following command\: 
build_1050_p=\ Afterwards, you can include the database in your Maven 2 project as a dependency\: 
build_1051_h2=Translating
build_1052_p=\ The translation of this software is split into the following parts\: 
build_1053_li=H2 Console\: <code>src/main/org/h2/server/web/res/_text_*.properties</code> 
build_1054_li=Error messages\: <code>src/main/org/h2/res/_messages_*.properties</code> 
build_1055_li=Web site\: <code>src/docsrc/text/_docs_*.utf8.txt</code> 
build_1056_p=\ To translate the H2 Console, start it and select Preferences / Translate. The conversion between UTF-8 and Java encoding (using the <code>\\u</code> syntax), as well as the HTML entities (<code>&amp;\#..;</code>) is automated by running the tool <code>PropertiesToUTF8</code>. The web site translation is automated as well, using <code>build docs</code>. 
build_1057_h2=Providing Patches
build_1058_p=\ If you like to provide patches, please consider the following guidelines to simplify merging them\: 
build_1059_li=Only use Java 1.5 features (do not use Java 1.6) (see <a href\="\#environment">Environment</a>). 
build_1060_li=Follow the coding style used in the project, and use Checkstyle (see above) to verify. For example, do not use tabs (use spaces instead). The checkstyle configuration is in <code>src/installer/checkstyle.xml</code>. 
build_1061_li=Please provide test cases and integrate them into the test suite. For Java level tests, see <code>src/test/org/h2/test/TestAll.java</code>. For SQL level tests, see <code>src/test/org/h2/test/test.in.txt</code> or <code>testSimple.in.txt</code>. 
build_1062_li=The test cases should cover at least 90% of the changed and new code; use a code coverage tool to verify that (see above). or use the build target <code>coverage</code>. 
build_1063_li=Verify that you did not break other features\: run the test cases by executing <code>build test</code>. 
build_1064_li=Provide end user documentation if required (<code>src/docsrc/html/*</code>). 
build_1065_li=Document grammar changes in <code>src/docsrc/help/help.csv</code> 
build_1066_li=Provide a change log entry (<code>src/docsrc/html/changelog.html</code>). 
build_1067_li=Verify the spelling using <code>build spellcheck</code>. If required add the new words to <code>src/tools/org/h2/build/doc/dictionary.txt</code>. 
build_1068_li=Run <code>src/installer/buildRelease</code> to find and fix formatting errors. 
build_1069_li=Verify the formatting using <code>build docs</code> and <code>build javadoc</code>. 
build_1070_li=Submit patches as <code>.patch</code> files (compressed if big). To create a patch using Eclipse, use Team / Create Patch. 
build_1071_p=\ For legal reasons, patches need to be public in the form of an email to the <a href\="http\://groups.google.com/group/h2-database">group</a>, or in the form of an <a href\="http\://code.google.com/p/h2database/issues/list">issue report or attachment</a>. Significant contributions need to include the following statement\: 
build_1072_p=\ "I wrote the code, it's mine, and I'm contributing it to H2 for distribution multiple-licensed under the H2 License, version 1.0, and under the Eclipse Public License, version 1.0 (http\://h2database.com/html/license.html)." 
build_1073_h2=Reporting Problems or Requests
build_1074_p=\ Please consider the following checklist if you have a question, want to report a problem, or if you have a feature request\: 
build_1075_li=Feature requests are always welcome, even if the feature is already on the <a href\="roadmap.html">roadmap</a>. Your mail will help prioritize feature requests. If you urgently need a feature, consider <a href\="\#providing_patches">providing a patch</a>. 
build_1076_li=Before posting problems, check the <a href\="faq.html">FAQ</a> and do a <a href\="http\://google.com">Google search</a>. 
build_1077_li=When got an unexpected exception, please try the <a href\="sourceError.html">Error Analyzer tool</a>. If this doesn't help, please report the problem, including the complete error message and stack trace, and the root cause stack trace(s). 
445
build_1078_li=When sending source code, please use a public web clipboard such as <a href\="http\://pastebin.com">Pastebin</a>, <a href\="http\://cl1p.net">Cl1p</a>, or <a href\="http\://www.mysticpaste.com/new">Mystic Paste</a> to avoid formatting problems. Please keep test cases as simple and short as possible, but so that the problem can still be reproduced. As a template, use\: <a href\="http\://h2database.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/h2/src/test/org/h2/samples/HelloWorld.java">HelloWorld.java</a>. Method that simply call other methods should be avoided, as well as unnecessary exception handling. Please use the JDBC API and no external tools or libraries. The test should include all required initialization code, and should be started with the main method. 
446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461
build_1079_li=For large attachments, use a public temporary storage such as <a href\="http\://rapidshare.com">Rapidshare</a>. 
build_1080_li=Google Group versus issue tracking\: Use the <a href\="http\://groups.google.com/group/h2-database">Google Group</a> for questions or if you are not sure it's a bug. If you are sure it's a bug, you can create an <a href\="http\://code.google.com/p/h2database/issues/list">issue</a>, but you don't need to (sending an email to the group is enough). Please note that only few people monitor the issue tracking system. 
build_1081_li=It may take a few days to get an answers. Please do not double post. 
build_1082_h2=Automated Build
build_1083_p=\ This build process is automated and runs regularly. The build process includes running the tests and code coverage, using the command line <code>./build.sh clean jar coverage -Dh2.ftpPassword\=... uploadBuild</code>. The last results are available here\:

build_1088_a=Latest Jar File (download, 1 MB)
build_1089_h2=Generating Railroad Diagrams
build_1090_p=\ The railroad diagrams are HTML, formatted as nested tables. The diagrams are generated as follows\: 
build_1091_li=The BNF parser (<code>org.h2.bnf.Bnf</code>) reads and parses the BNF from the file <code>help.csv</code>. 
build_1092_li=The page parser (<code>org.h2.server.web.PageParser</code>) reads the template HTML file and fills in the diagrams. 
build_1093_li=The rail images (one straight, four junctions, two turns) are generated using a simple Java application. 
build_1094_p=\ To generate railroad diagrams for other grammars, see the package <code>org.h2.jcr</code>. This package is used to generate the SQL-2 railroad diagrams for the JCR 2.0 specification.

changelog_1002_li=Serialized access mode (server-less multi-connection mode)\: sequences did not work as expected (there were gaps in generated values when using multiple connections). 
changelog_1003_li=Page store\: new databases can not be opened with older versions. 
changelog_1004_li=Page store\: adding data to new database is now faster. 
changelog_1005_li=File system\: getting the file name from a path is now faster. This should speed up BLOB and CLOB access. 
changelog_1006_li=PgServer\: incorrect SQL types were returned in result set meta data. Concurrently opening a database could fail (PG catalog initialization was not synchronized). Thanks a lot to Sergi Vladykin for providing the patches\! 
changelog_1007_li=SHOW COLUMNS did not work correctly if there where multiple indexes on the same columns. 
changelog_1008_li=Page store\: the wrong write count was written to the database header. This could cause the server-less multi-connection mode to fail. 
changelog_1009_li=Result sets larger than 2 GB threw an exception "Negative seek offset". Fixed. 
changelog_1010_li=If the system property h2.check was set to false, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException could occur. 
changelog_1011_li=Alter table is now supported even if a table has views defined. 
changelog_1012_li=Fulltext search\: exceptions within the fulltext search package had the wrong SQL state. 
changelog_1013_li=The Lucene fulltext search ignored transaction rollback. Fixed using a trigger on rollback. 
changelog_1014_li=Trigger can now be called on rollback. 
changelog_1015_li=The shell script h2.sh ignored command line line arguments. 
changelog_1016_li=When running H2 in the Google AppEngine for Java, a AccessControlException could be thrown when trying to open a read-only database. Fixed. 
changelog_1017_li=The user home directory prefix (~) is now only expanded when followed by a slash or backslash, or standing alone. 
changelog_1018_li=Native fulltext search\: before inserting or deleting data, FT_INIT() had to be called. This is no longer required. 
changelog_1019_li=The .trace.db file is now only created if required. 
changelog_1020_li=Shell tool\: improved PostgreSQL compatibility. 
changelog_1021_li=Trying to open a database in read-only mode when a .lock.db file exists will now fail with a nice error message. 
changelog_1022_li=H2 Console\: data that is too long is now abbreviated as follows\: text... (100000 characters). A large binary is abbreviated as follows\: abcdef... (100000 bytes). 
changelog_1023_li=Faster data conversion from BIGINT or INT to DECIMAL. 
changelog_1024_li=Server-less multi-connection mode\: try to delete log files if switching between read/write operations. 
changelog_1025_li=CompressLZF\: Faster decompress and improved javadocs 
changelog_1026_h2=Version 1.2.126 (2009-12-18)
changelog_1027_li=The ChangeFileEncryption tool will now fail with an exception if the database is still in use. The Backup tool will also fail except when running in quiet mode. 
changelog_1028_li=CSVREAD\: when reading the column names from the CSV file, column names that contain no special characters are considered case insensitive now. 
changelog_1029_li=Optimization index conditions of the form 'column\=NULL' (which is always false; unlike 'column IS NULL'). 
changelog_1030_li=Script command and tool\: the primary key constraint is now listed before inserting the data. This will result in a smaller database when using the page store. 
changelog_1031_li=Statements with IN(SELECT..) conditions could produce the wrong result. Example\: index on id, name; query\: select * from test where id between 1 and 3 and name in (select 'World'). 
changelog_1032_li=Statements with IN(..) conditions could produce the wrong result when using views or nested select statements. Example\: index on id; index on name; query\: select * from (select * from test) where id\=1 and name in('a', 'b'). select * from (select * from test) where id\=1 and name in('Hello', 'World'). 
changelog_1033_li=Page store\: a rollback of a relatively large transaction could fail with an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException or a 'row not found' exception in the PageBtreeIndex in some cases. 
changelog_1034_li=JaQu\: the decompiler has been improved, and a few test cases already work. It is still incomplete however. 
changelog_1035_li=LIKE\: any letter is now allowed after the escape character (which is still '\\' by default). Previously, an exception was thrown (unlike other databases) if it was not the escape character, '_' or '%'. If the escape character appears at the end of the pattern, the result is it is ignored (like PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server). 
changelog_1036_li=The reserve heap memory is no longer used. 
changelog_1037_li=Database.checkpoint() could throw a NullPointerException. 
changelog_1038_h2=Version 1.2.125 (2009-12-06)
changelog_1039_li=Lucene fulltext search\: the Lucene field names now match the table column names, except if the column names start with _ (in which case another _ is prepended). Unfortunately this change means existing fulltext indexes need to be re-built. 
changelog_1040_li=The shell tool now has a very simple statement history. 
changelog_1041_li=The zip file system implementation now supports the '~' home directory prefix. Example database URL\: jdbc\:h2\:zip\:~/test.zip\!/test 
changelog_1042_li=Right outer joins on tables that were already 'inner joined' was processed incorrectly. 
changelog_1043_li=Temporary files from LOB objects were not deleted early enough when using the server mode. 
changelog_1044_li=Trying to alter a temporary table threw a strange exception. It is still not possible to do that, but the exception message is better now. 
changelog_1045_li=When the system property h2.maxMemoryRowsDistinct was set, and using SELECT DISTINCT, the temporary table was not correctly dropped. This could cause problems in recovery when the process was killed. 
changelog_1046_li=Trigger that are called before a select statement are now supported. This allows to create tables that work like materialized views. 
changelog_1047_li=Non-row based triggers were called even if the action didn't match the declared action (INSERT triggers were also called when deleting rows). This has been changed. The MERGE statement calls both INSERT and DELETE triggers. 
changelog_1048_li=Statements with IN(..) conditions could produce the wrong result or a data conversion error (since version 1.2.120). Examples\: index on id, name, condition\: id\=1 and name in('Hello', 'x'); index on id, query\: select * from (select * from test) where id\=1 and name in('Hello', 'World'). 
changelog_1049_li=The CompressTool was not multithreading safe. Because of this, the following database operations where also not multithreading safe (even when using different databases)\: the SCRIPT command (only when using compression), the COMPRESS function, and storing CLOB or BLOB data (only when compression is enabled). 
changelog_1050_li=The compression algorithm "LZF" is now about 33% faster than before when compressing small block (around 2 KB). It is much faster than Deflate, but the compression ratio is lower. Some of the optimizations are from Sam Van Oort, thanks a lot\! 
changelog_1051_li=Compressing large blocks of data didn't work when using the "Deflate" compression algorithm. Compressing a lot of data could run out of heap memory. 
changelog_1052_li=The test cases don't access the file system directly, this simplifies GAE for Java testing. Thanks to Vince Bonfanti. 
changelog_1053_li=More bugs in the server-less multi-connection mode have been fixed. 
changelog_1054_li=When running against an old database, the SCRIPT statement could generate a SQL script that contained duplicate indexes (PRIMARY_KEY_E). 
changelog_1055_li=JdbcConnectionPool.getConnection() could throw a NullPointerException. 
changelog_1056_li=User defined functions\: the source code is now available using SELECT SOURCE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FUNCTION_ALIASES. 
changelog_1057_li=User defined functions with source code didn't work after re-opening the database. 
changelog_1058_li=The newsfeeds are now Atom 1.0 standard compliant. 
changelog_1059_li=The database is now closed after an out of memory exception, because the database could get corrupt otherwise. 
changelog_1060_li=Better error message if both AUTO_SERVER and SERIALIZED parameters are set to TRUE. 
changelog_1061_li=Drop table did not delete lob files in old file store (not PAGE_STORE). 
changelog_1062_h2=Version 1.2.124 (2009-11-20)
changelog_1063_li=Clustering\: there is now a way to detect which cluster instances are running. 
changelog_1064_li=ConvertTraceFile\: the SQL statement statistics are better formatted (newline are removed). 
changelog_1065_li=The file lock thread is now stopped when the database is closed. 
changelog_1066_li=Issue 140\: the Script tool now supports writing to a stream. 
changelog_1067_li=Issue 138\: the trace output of Statement.execute(String, int) and executeUpdate was incorrect.

changelog_1069_li=Page store\: multi-column indexes didn't work if the cache was very small. 
changelog_1070_li=Page store\: opening a database could theoretically result in an endless loop. 
changelog_1071_li=Page store\: adding large indexed columns could get very slow. 
changelog_1072_li=Page store\: after a duplicate key exception, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException could be thrown (only for very large rows). 
changelog_1073_li=Page store\: the recover tool sometimes generated a script file that contained duplicate data. 
changelog_1074_li=Page store\: sometimes opening a read-only database failed. 
changelog_1075_li=Page store\: opening a database sometimes failed if large rows where updated, or if a table was truncated before. 
changelog_1076_li=Page store\: when using a very small page size (128 bytes or smaller), writing a large row could result in an endless recursion. This is only a theoretical problem, as the page size is 2 KB. 
changelog_1077_li=Page store\: getting the min value from a descending index with NULL entries could return the wrong result. 
changelog_1078_li=Page store\: improved auto-recovery after power failure. 
changelog_1079_li=The JDBC client did not detect that it was not talking to an H2 server. This could result in strange exceptions when trying to connect to another kind of server. 
changelog_1080_li=User defined functions can be created with source code. Example\: CREATE ALIAS HI AS 'String hi() { return "Hello"; }' 
changelog_1081_li=Database file lock\: the exception "lock file modified in the future" is no longer thrown; instead, opening the file will be delayed by 2 seconds. 
changelog_1082_li=Inserting LOBs got slower each time the process was restarted. It could loop endlessly after about 1000 process restarts. 
changelog_1083_li=Issue 117\: Multi-version concurrency\: concurrent MERGE statements now work. 
changelog_1084_li=Improved read-only database detection.

changelog_1086_li=Page store\: new databases can not be opened with older versions. 
changelog_1087_li=Page store\: updating large rows (rows with more than 2000 bytes of data) could corrupt the database. 
changelog_1088_li=Page store\: inserting very large rows failed with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. 
changelog_1089_li=When using multi-threaded kernel mode, setting disabling locking (LOCK_MODE\=0) will now throw an exception. At this time this combination will result in corruption when multiple threads try to update the same table. 
changelog_1090_li=The fulltext search methods and fields are now protected instead of private, to make the classes more easily extensible. 
changelog_1091_li=The Lucene fulltext search now also returns the score. 
changelog_1092_li=\ New function SCOPE_IDENTITY() to avoid problems when inserting rows in a trigger. 
changelog_1093_li=Statement.getGeneratedKeys() returned the wrong value if a trigger changed the identity value after inserting the row. 
changelog_1094_li=Improved error messages\: identifiers and values are now quoted. 
changelog_1095_li=Improved error message when casting a value failed\: the column name and type is included in the message. 
changelog_1096_li=Improved support for GAE for Java thanks to Vince Bonfanti. 
changelog_1097_h2=Version 1.2.122 (2009-10-28)
changelog_1098_li=The native fulltext search now supports streaming CLOB data. 
changelog_1099_li=If the database URL ends with ;PAGE_STORE\=TRUE and a database in the old format exists, it is automatically converted to the new page store format if possible. A backup of the database is created first. Automatic conversion is not supported if the database was not closed normally (if it contains uncommitted transactions). 
changelog_1100_li=Dropping the current user is now allowed if another admin user exists. 
changelog_1101_li=Values of type BINARY or BLOB could not be converted to the data type OTHER. 
changelog_1102_li=SHUTDOWN COMPACT now fully compacts the database. 
changelog_1103_li=New system properties h2.maxCompactCount and h2.maxCompactTime to allow changing the default behavior (at most 2 seconds compacting when closing the database). 
changelog_1104_li=New sorted insert optimization (see Performance / Database Performance Tuning). 
changelog_1105_li=Issue 116\: The files h2*-sources.jar and h2*-javadoc.jar are now in the Maven repository. 
changelog_1106_li=Page store\: opening a large database was slow if it was not closed before. 
changelog_1107_li=Page store\: new write and read counters in the meta data table. Use SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS WHERE NAME IN( 'info.FILE_WRITE_TOTAL', 'info.FILE_WRITE', 'info.FILE_READ', 'info.CACHE_MAX_SIZE', 'info.CACHE_SIZE') 
changelog_1108_li=The SQL syntax is documented using (railroad) diagrams. The diagrams are HTML. 
changelog_1109_li=The documentation is no longer available in Japanese because the translation was too much out of sync. Please use the Google translation instead. 
changelog_1110_li=Certain queries were not sorted if subselect queries were involved 
changelog_1111_li=More bugs in the server-less multi-connection mode have been fixed\: 90097 The database is read only, caches must be cleared on reconnect, etc. 
changelog_1112_h2=Version 1.2.121 (2009-10-11)
changelog_1113_li=Better support GaeVFS (Google App Engine Virtual File System) thanks to Thanks to Vince Bonfanti. 
changelog_1114_li=CSVREAD didn't close the file. Thanks to Vince Bonfanti for the patch\! 
changelog_1115_li=If a database in the old format exists, it is now used. The system property is used for new databases, or if databases exist in both formats. In any case, the flag in the URL overrides this logic. 
changelog_1116_li=Page store bugs were fixed. Large values in indexed columns could corrupt the index. 
changelog_1117_li=The page store did not work when using Retrotranslator (because the Retrotranslator doesn't support Integer.reverse and Long.reverse). 
changelog_1118_li=New system property h2.pageStoreTrim to disable shrinking the database when closing (disabled by default, meaning by default the database is trimmed). 
changelog_1119_h2=Version 1.2.120 (2009-10-04)
changelog_1120_li=This is a beta version. 
changelog_1121_li=Large updates could throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in RowList.writeRow. 
changelog_1122_li=In version 1.2, the following system properties are now enabled by default\: h2.pageStore, h2.nullConcatIsNull, h2.optimizeInList. The default value for h2.defaultMaxLengthInplaceLob is now 4096 (it was 1024 with version 1.1). 
changelog_1123_li=New databases are now stored in the new 'page store' file format. Existing databases are kept in the old file format. To use the old file format, append ;PAGE_STORE\=FALSE to the database URL or set the system property h2.pageStore to false. 
changelog_1124_li=Issue 125\: Renaming primary keys was not persistent. Fixed. Unfortunately, databases created by this version can not be opened with older versions because of this change. 
changelog_1125_li=Issue 124\: Hibernate schema validation failed for decimal/numeric columns. This problem is fixed in the Hibernate dialect that is included with H2 (src/tools/org/hibernate/dialect/H2Dialect.java.txt), but not in Hibernate yet. 
changelog_1126_li=PostgreSQL compatibility\: function LASTVAL() as an alias for IDENTITY(). 
changelog_1127_li=Linked tables now support default values when inserting, updating or merging. 
changelog_1128_li=Bugfixes in the page store. 
changelog_1129_li=Possibility to set a vendor id in Constants.java, so that unofficial builds are distinguishable from official releases. 
changelog_1130_li=Allow writing to linked tables in readonly databases. 
changelog_1131_h2=Version 1.1.119 (2009-09-26)
changelog_1132_li=SQL statements in the exception message are no longer included if they contain '--hide--'. 
changelog_1133_li=Temporary local tables did not always work after reconnect if AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE 
changelog_1134_li=New system property h2.defaultMaxLengthInplaceLob to change the default maximum size of an in-place LOB object. 
changelog_1135_li=New system property h2.nullConcatIsNull to change the default null concatenation behavior. The default will be enabled in version 1.2. 
changelog_1136_li=The cache algorithm TQ is disabled in this version, because it is unstable, and because the current implementation does not have any measurable advantages over the default. 
changelog_1137_li=New committer\: Christian Peter. He works for <a href\="http\://www.docware.com">Docware</a> and helped a lot finding and fixing bugs, and generally improving the database. He is now a committer. 
changelog_1138_li=ChangeFileEncryption did not work with Lob subdirectories. Fixed. 
changelog_1139_li=Issue 121\: JaQu\: new simple update and merge methods. 
changelog_1140_li=Issue 120\: JaQu didn't close result sets. 
changelog_1141_li=Issue 119\: JaQu creates wrong WHERE conditions on some inputs. 
changelog_1142_li=The new page store mechanism is now alpha-level quality. The next release will most likely be "1.2.120 beta" where this mode is enabled by default. To use it right now, append ;PAGE_STORE\=TRUE to the database URL. The file format of this mode will probably not change any more. 
changelog_1143_li=SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SYSTEM_RANGE(...) returned the wrong result. Fixed. 
changelog_1144_li=The Recover tool now also processes the log files, however applying those changes is still a manual process. 
changelog_1145_li=New sample application that shows how to pass data to a trigger. 
changelog_1146_li=More bugs in the server-less multi-connection mode have been fixed\: On Windows, two processes could write to the same database at the same time. 
changelog_1147_li=When loading triggers or other client classes (static functions, database event listener, user aggregate functions, other JDBC drivers), the database now uses the context class loader if the class could not be found using Class.forName(). 
changelog_1148_li=Updating many rows with the same CLOB or BLOB values could result in FileNotFoundException. 
changelog_1149_li=Statement.getConnection() threw an exception if the connection was already closed. 
changelog_1150_li=The native fulltext index kept a reference to a database after the database was closed. 
changelog_1151_li=Non-unique in-memory hash indexes are now supported. Thanks a lot to Sergi Vladykin for the patch\! 
changelog_1152_li=The optimizer does a better job for joins if indexes are missing. 
changelog_1153_h2=Version 1.1.118 (2009-09-04)
changelog_1154_li=SHOW COLUMNS only listed indexed columns. 
changelog_1155_li=When calling SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY in the server mode, the .trace.db file was not closed. 
changelog_1156_li=DatabaseMetaData.getPrimaryKeys\: the wrong constraint name was reported if there was another constraint on the same table and columns. 
changelog_1157_li=AUTO_INCREMENT now works in the same way in ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN as in CREATE TABLE (it does not create a primary key). 
changelog_1158_li=Native fulltext search\: before searching, FT_INIT() had to be called. This is no longer required. 
changelog_1159_li=Better support GaeVFS (Google App Engine Virtual File System). 
changelog_1160_li=JaQu\: the plan is to support natural (pure Java / Scala) conditions such as (id \=\= 1 &amp;&amp; name.equals("Test")). A proof of concept decompiler is now included (it doesn't work yet). 
changelog_1161_li=Various bugfixes and improvements in the page store mechanism (still experimental). 
changelog_1162_li=PreparedStatement.setObject now converts a java.lang.Character to a string. 
changelog_1163_li=H2 Console\: PierPaolo Ucchino has completed the Italian translation. Thanks a lot\! 
changelog_1164_li=Various tools now use Java 5 var-args, such as main the methods and SimpleResultSet.addRow. 
changelog_1165_li=H2 Console\: indexes of tables of non-default schemas are now also listed. 
changelog_1166_li=Issue 111\: Multi-version concurrency / duplicate primary key after rollback. 
changelog_1167_li=Issue 110\: Multi-version concurrency / wrong exception is thrown. 
changelog_1168_li=Parser\: sequenceName.NEXTVAL and CURRVAL did not respect the schema search path. 
changelog_1169_li=Issue 101\: The following sequence could throw the exception "Row not found when trying to delete"\: start a transaction, insert many rows, delete many rows, rollback. The number of rows depends on the cache size. 
changelog_1170_li=The stack trace of very common exceptions is no longer written to the .trace.db file by default. 
changelog_1171_li=An optimization for OR is implemented, but disabled by default. Expressions of the type X\=1 OR X\=2 are converted to X IN(1, 2). To enable, set the system property h2.optimizeInList to true before loading the H2 JDBC driver. 
changelog_1172_li=An optimization for IN(..) and IN(SELECT...) is implemented, but disabled by default. To enable, set the system property h2.optimizeInList to true before loading the H2 JDBC driver. If enabled, this overrides h2.optimizeIn and h2.optimizeInJoin. Unlike now, this optimization will also speed up updates and deletes. 
changelog_1173_h2=Version 1.1.117 (2009-08-09)
changelog_1174_li=New committer\: Sam Van Oort has been contributing to H2 since quite some time in many ways (on the mailing list, documentation, and in the form of patches). He is now a committer. 
changelog_1175_li=JaQu\: the order of the fields in the database no longer needs to match the order in the database. 
changelog_1176_li=Issue 103\: MVCC\: the setting MAX_MEMORY_UNDO can currently not be supported when using multi-version concurrency, that means the complete undo log must fit in memory. 
changelog_1177_li=LIKE\: the escape mechanism can now be disable using ESCAPE ''. The default escape character can be changed using the system property h2.defaultEscape. The default is still '\\' (as in MySQL and PostgreSQL). 
changelog_1178_li=Views using functions were not re-evaluated when necessary. 
changelog_1179_li=Improved MySQL compatibility for SHOW COLUMNS. 
changelog_1180_li=Improved PostgreSQL compatibility for timestamp literals with timezone. 
changelog_1181_li=Sergi Vladykin translated the error messages to Russian. Thanks a lot\! 
changelog_1182_li=Support for Java 6 DatabaseMetaData.getTables, getColumns, getProcedures, and getProcedureColumns. 
changelog_1183_li=Issue 101\: Rollback of a large transaction (more than 100000 rows) could fail. 
changelog_1184_li=Various bugfixes and improvements in the page store mechanism (still experimental). 
changelog_1185_li=The functions LENGTH, OCTET_LENGTH, and BIT_LENGTH now return BIGINT. 
changelog_1186_li=Data types CLOB and BLOB\: the maximum precision was Integer.MAX_VALUE, it is now Long.MAX_VALUE. 
changelog_1187_li=Multi-threaded kernel\: creating and dropping temporary database objects and the potentially free pages list was not correctly synchronized. Thanks a lot to Eric Faulhaber for the test case and patch\! 
changelog_1188_li=Parsing SQL script files is now faster. 
changelog_1189_li=CSV reading is now faster. 
changelog_1190_li=SimpleResultSet.newInstance(SimpleRowSource rs) did not work. 
changelog_1191_h2=Version 1.1.116 (2009-07-18)
changelog_1192_li=Server-less multi-connection mode\: more bugs are fixed. 
changelog_1193_li=The built-in help (INFORMATION_SCHEMA.HELP) is smaller, shrinking the jar file size a bit. 
changelog_1194_li=H2 Console\: column of tables of non-default schemas are now also listed, except for schemas starting with 'INFO'. 
changelog_1195_li=ALTER TABLE\: removing an auto-increment or identity column didn't remove the sequence. 
changelog_1196_li=Creating indexes is now a bit faster. 
changelog_1197_li=PG Server\: new system property h2.pgClientEncoding to explicitly set the encoding for clients that don't send the encoding (the default encoding is UTF-8). Thanks a lot to Sergi Vladykin for the patch\! 
changelog_1198_li=PG Server\: improved compatibility by using the type ids of the PostgreSQL driver. Thanks a lot to Sergi Vladykin for the patch\! 
changelog_1199_li=H2 Console\: Oracle system tables are no longer listed, improving performance. 
changelog_1200_li=Result sets are now read-only except if the statement or prepared statement was created with the concurrency ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE. This change is required because the old behavior (all result set are updatable) violated the JDBC spec. For backward compatibility, use the system property h2.defaultResultSetConcurrency. 
changelog_1201_li=New system property h2.defaultResultSetConcurrency to change the default result set concurrency. 
changelog_1202_li=JDBC\: using an invalid result set type or concurrency now throws an exception. 
changelog_1203_li=If a pooled connection was not closed but garbage collected, a NullPointerException could occur. 
changelog_1204_li=Fulltext search\: a NullPointerException was thrown when updating a value that was NULL previously. 
changelog_1205_li=The Recover tool did not work with .data.db files of the wrong size. 
changelog_1206_li=Triggers\: if there was an exception when initializing a trigger, this exception could be hidden, and in some cases (specially when using the Lucene fulltext index mechanism) a NullPointerException was thrown later on. Now the exception that occurred on init is thrown when changing data. 
changelog_1207_li=The soft-references cache (CACHE_TYPE\=SOFT_LRU) could throw a NullPointerException. 
changelog_1208_li=To enable the new page store mechanism, append ;PAGE_STORE\=TRUE to the database URL. or set the system property h2.pageStore to true. This mechanism is still experimental, and the file format will change, but it is quite stable now. 
changelog_1209_h2=Version 1.1.115 (2009-06-21)
changelog_1210_li=The new storage mechanism is now alpha quality. To try it out, set the system property "h2.pageStore" to "true" (java -Dh2.pageStore\=true). There are still bugs to be found and fixed, for example inserting many rows references a lot of main memory. Performance is currently about the same as with the regular storage mechanism, but the database file size is smaller. The file format is not stable yet. 
changelog_1211_li=ALTER TABLE could throw an exception "object already exists" in some cases. 
changelog_1212_li=Views\: in some situations, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException was thrown when using the same view concurrently. 
changelog_1213_li=java.util.UUID is now supported in PreparedStatement.setObject and user defined Java functions. ResultSet.getObject() returns a java.util.UUID when using the UUID data type. 
changelog_1214_li=H2 Console\: the language was reset to the browser language when disconnecting. 
changelog_1215_li=H2 Console\: improved Polish translation. 
changelog_1216_li=Server-less multi-connection mode\: more bugs are fixed. 
changelog_1217_li=The download page now included the SHA1 checksums. 
changelog_1218_li=Shell tool\: the file encoding workaround is now documented if you run java org.h2.tools.Shell -?. 
changelog_1219_li=The RunScript tool and SQL statement did not work with the compression method LZF. 
changelog_1220_li=Fulltext search\: searching for NULL or an empty string threw an exception. 
changelog_1221_li=Lucene fulltext search\: FTL_DROP_ALL did not drop the triggers. 
changelog_1222_li=Backup\: if the database contained CLOB or BLOB data, the backup included a file entry for the LOB directory. This caused the restore to fail. 
changelog_1223_li=Data types\: LONG is now an alias for BIGINT. 
changelog_1224_h2=Version 1.1.114 (2009-06-01)
changelog_1225_li=ResultSetMetaData.getColumnClassName returned the wrong class for CLOB and BLOB columns. 
changelog_1226_li=Fulltext search\: data is no longer deleted and re-inserted if the indexed columns didn't change. 
changelog_1227_li=In some situations, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException was thrown when adding rows. This was caused by a bug in the b-tree code. 
changelog_1228_li=Microsoft Windows Vista\: when using the the installer, Vista wrote "This program may not have installed correctly." This message should no longer appear (in the h2.nsi file, the line 'RequestExecutionLevel highest' was added). 
changelog_1229_li=The Recover tool did not always work when the database contains referential integrity constraints. 
changelog_1230_li=Java 1.5 is now required to run H2. If required, Retrotranslator can be used to create a Java 1.4 version (http\://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/). 
changelog_1231_h2=Version 1.1.113 (2009-05-21)
changelog_1232_li=Shell tool\: the built-in commands EXIT, HELP, ?, LIST, and so on didn't work with a semicolon at the end. 
changelog_1233_li=JDK 1.5 is now required to build the jar file. However it is still possible to create a jar file for Java 1.4. For details, see buildRelease.sh and buildRelease.bat. As an alternative, compile using JDK 1.5 or 1.6 and use Retrotranslator to create a Java 1.4 version (http\://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/). 
changelog_1234_li=When deleting or updating many rows in a table, the space in the index file was not re-used in the default mode (persistent database, b-tree index, LOG\=1). This caused the index file to grow over time. Workarounds were to delete and re-created the index file, alter the table (add a remove a column), or append ;LOG\=2 to the database URL. To disable the change, set the system property h2.reuseSpaceBtreeIndex to false. 
changelog_1235_li=Identifiers with a digit and then a dollar sign didn't work. Example\: A1$B. 
changelog_1236_li=MS SQL Server compatibility\: support for linked tables with NVARCHAR, NCHAR, NCLOB, and LONGNVARCHAR. 
changelog_1237_li=Android\: workaround for a problem when using read-only databases in zip files (skip seems to be implemented incorrectly on the Android system). 
changelog_1238_li=Calling execute() or prepareStatement() with null as the SQL statement now throws an exception. 
changelog_1239_li=Benchmark\: the number of executed statements was incorrect. The H2 database was loaded at the beginning of the test to collect results, now it is loaded at the very end. Thanks to Fred Toussi from HSQLDB for reporting those problems. However the changed do not affect the relative performance. 
changelog_1240_li=H2 Console\: command line settings are no longer stored in the properties file. They are now only used for the current process, except if they are explicitly saved. 
changelog_1241_li=Cache\: support for a second level soft-references cache. To enable it, append ;CACHE_TYPE\=SOFT_LRU (or SOFT_TQ) to the database URL, or set the system property h2.cacheTypeDefault to "SOFT_LRU" / "SOFT_TQ". Enabling the second level cache reduces performance for small databases, but speeds up large databases. It makes sense to use it if the available memory size is unknown. Thanks a lot to Jan Kotek\! 
changelog_1242_h2=Version 1.1.112 (2009-05-01)
changelog_1243_li=JdbcPreparedStatement.toString() could throw a NullPointerException. 
changelog_1244_li=EclipseLink\: added H2Platform.supportsIdentity(). 
changelog_1245_li=Connection pool\: the default login timeout is now 5 minutes. 
changelog_1246_li=After truncating tables, opening large databases could become slow because indexes were always re-built unnecessarily when opening. 
changelog_1247_li=More bugs in the server-less multi-connection mode have been fixed\: Sometimes parameters of prepared statements were lost when a reconnecting. Concurrent read operations were slow. To improve performance, executeQuery(..) must be used for queries (execute(..) switches to the write mode, which is slow). 
changelog_1248_li=GROUP BY queries with a self-join (join to the same table) that were grouped by columns with indexes returned the wrong result in some cases. 
changelog_1249_li=Improved error message when the .lock.db file modification time is in the future. 
changelog_1250_li=The MERGE statement now returns 0 as the generated key if the row was updated. 
changelog_1251_li=Running code coverage is now automated. 
changelog_1252_li=A file system implementation can now be registered using FileSystem.register. 
changelog_1253_li=The database file system is no longer included in the jar file, it moved to the test section. 
changelog_1254_h2=Version 1.1.111 (2009-04-10)
changelog_1255_li=In-memory databases can now run inside the Google App Engine. 
changelog_1256_li=Queries that are ordered by an indexed column returned no rows in certain cases (if all rows were deleted from the table previously, and there is a low number of rows in the table, and when not using other conditions, and when using the default b tree index). 
changelog_1257_li=The wrong exception was thrown when using unquoted text for the SQL statements COMMENT, ALTER USER, and SET PASSWORD. 
changelog_1258_li=The built-in connection pool did not roll back transactions and enable autocommit enabled after closing a connection. 
changelog_1259_li=Sometimes a StackOverflow occurred when checking for deadlock. See also http\://code.google.com/p/h2database/issues/detail?id\=61 
changelog_1260_li=The Shell tool no longer truncates results with only one column, and displays a message if data was truncated. 
changelog_1261_h2=Version 1.1.110 (2009-04-03)
changelog_1262_li=Support for not persistent in-memory tables in regular (persistent) databases using CREATE MEMORY TABLE(..) NOT PERSISTENT. Thanks a lot to Sergi Vladykin for the patch\! 
changelog_1263_li=The H2 Console trimmed the password (removed leading and trailing spaces). This is no longer the case, to support encrypted H2 database with an empty user password. 
changelog_1264_li=The data type of a SUBSTRING method was wrong. 
changelog_1265_li=ResultSet.findColumn and get methods with column label parameters now also check for matching column names (like most databases except MySQL). 
changelog_1266_li=H2 Console\: the browser system property now supports a list of arguments. Example\: java -Dh2.browser\="open,-a,Safari,%url" ... 
changelog_1267_li=Improved Javadoc navigation (similar to Scaladoc). 
changelog_1268_li=H2 Console\: auto-complete of identifiers did not work correctly for H2 databases in MySQL mode. 
changelog_1269_li=DISTINCT and GROUP BY on a CLOB column was broken. 
changelog_1270_li=The FTP server moved to the tools section and is no longer included in the h2*.jar file. 
changelog_1271_li=Improved error message for unsupported features\: now the message says what exactly is not supported. 
changelog_1272_li=Improved OSGi support. 
changelog_1273_li=Some internal caches did not use the LRU mechanism. Fixed (LOB file list, optimizer cost cache, trace system, view indexes, collection keys, compressed in-memory file system). 
changelog_1274_li=The API of the tools changed a bit (each tool now returns an exit code). 
changelog_1275_li=Command line help of the tools now match the javadocs. The build converts the javadocs to a resource that is read by the tool at runtime. This should not have an effect on using the database, but it reduces duplicate and out-of-sync documentation. 
changelog_1276_li=CREATE TABLE\: improved compatibility (support for UNIQUE NOT NULL). 
changelog_1277_li=DatabaseMetaData.getSQLKeywords now returns the correct list. 
changelog_1278_li=Deterministic user defined functions did not work when the parameter was a column. Fixed. 
changelog_1279_li=JdbcConnectionPool.setLoginTimeout with 0 now uses the default timeout. 
changelog_1280_li=Creating a JdbcConnectionPool has been simplified a bit. 
changelog_1281_li=The built-in connection pool did not re-use connections. Getting a connection using the built-in JdbcConnectionPool is now about 70 times faster than opening connections using DriverManager.getConnection. 
changelog_1282_li=More bugs in the server-less multi-connection mode have been fixed\: If a process terminated while writing, other open connections were blocked. If two processes were writing to the database, sometimes the database was corrupt after closing. 
changelog_1283_li=Linked tables to SQLite database can now be created. 
changelog_1284_li=Nested IN(IN(...)) didn't work. 
changelog_1285_li=NIO storage\: the nio\: prefix was using memory mapped files instead of FileChannel. 
changelog_1286_h2=Version 1.1.109 (2009-03-14)
changelog_1287_li=The optimization for IN(...) is now only used if comparing a column with an index. 
changelog_1288_li=User defined functions can now be deterministic (see CREATE ALIAS documentation). 
changelog_1289_li=Multiple nested queries in the FROM clause with parameters did not always work. 
changelog_1290_li=When converting CLOB to BINARY, each character resulted in one byte. Now, the text is parsed as a hex as when converting VARCHAR. 
changelog_1291_li=New experimental NIO storage mechanism with both FileChannel and memory mapped files. To use it, use the file name prefix nio\: or nioMapped\: as in jdbc\:h2\:nio\:~/test. So far it looks like NIO storage is faster on Mac OS but slower on some Windows systems. Thanks a lot to Jan Kotek for the patch\! 
changelog_1292_li=The functions BITOR, BITAND, BITXOR, and MOD now accept and return BIGINT instead of INT. 
changelog_1293_li=Could not use the same linked table multiple times in the same query. 
changelog_1294_li=Bugs in the server-less multi-connection mode have been fixed. 
changelog_1295_li=Column names could not be named "UNIQUE" (with the quotes). 
changelog_1296_li=New system function TRANSACTION_ID() to get the current transaction identifier for a session. 
changelog_1297_h2=Version 1.1.108 (2009-02-28)
changelog_1298_li=When the shutdown hook closed the database, the last log file was deleted too early. This could cause uncommitted changes to be persisted. In some cases, this could cause data corruption. 
changelog_1299_li=JdbcConnectionPool\: it was possible to set a negative connection pool size. 
changelog_1300_li=Fulltext search did not support table names with a backslash. 
changelog_1301_li=The internal IntArray class did not work correctly when initialized with a zero length array. 
changelog_1302_li=The H2 Console web application (war file) did only support ASCII characters. Now UTF-8 is supported. 
changelog_1303_li=DATEADD does no longer require that the argument is a timestamp. 
changelog_1304_li=The database file locking mechanism didn't work correctly on Mac OS. 
changelog_1305_li=Some built-in functions reported the wrong precision, scale, and display size. 
changelog_1306_li=MySQL compatibility for CREATE TABLE is improved (UNSIGNED, KEY). 
changelog_1307_li=Recovery did not work if there were more than 255 lobs stored as files. 
changelog_1308_li=New experimental mode to support multiple read-write connections without starting a server. To enable this mode, append ;FILE_LOCK\=SERIALIZED;OPEN_NEW\=TRUE to the database URL. Don't expect high performance when multiple concurrent writers. 
changelog_1309_li=In a web application, the database classes are not unloaded if a connection is open. This may cause out of memory when re-deploying a web application. The DbStarter is changed to close all connections to the configured database (by executing SHUTDOWN). 
changelog_1310_li=The WebServlet did not close the database when un-deploying the web application. 
changelog_1311_li=The exception message of failed INSERT or MERGE statements now includes all values and the row number. 
changelog_1312_li=If opening a database failed with an out of memory exception, some files were not closed. 
changelog_1313_li=Optimizer\: the expected runtime calculation was incorrect. The fixed calculation should give slightly better query plans when using many joins. 
changelog_1314_li=Improved exception message when connecting to a just started server fails. 
changelog_1315_li=Connection.isValid is a bit faster. 
changelog_1316_li=H2 Console\: the autocomplete feature has been improved a bit. It can now better parse conditions. 
changelog_1317_li=When restarting a web application in Tomcat, an exception was thrown sometimes. In most cases this was a NullPointerException. A workaround in H2 has been implemented. The root cause of the problem is now documented in the FAQ\: Tomcat sets all static fields (final or non-final) to null when unloading a web application. A workaround is to put the h2.jar in the lib directory, or set the system property org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.ENABLE_CLEAR_REFERENCES to false. 
changelog_1318_h2=Version 1.1.107 (2009-01-24)
changelog_1319_li=Some DatabaseMetaData operations did not work for non-admin users for versions 1.1.x. 
changelog_1320_li=The MySQL compatibility extension fromUnixTime now used the English locale. 
changelog_1321_li=When using LOG\=2 and repeatedly updating the last row rows of a table, the index file grew quickly. 
changelog_1322_li=In versions 1.1.105 and 1.1.106, encrypted script files of earlier versions could not be processed. This is now again possible. The problem was that such script files were stored in a special format (STORAGE\=TEXT) but support for this format was removed in version 1.1.105. 
changelog_1323_li=Enabling the trace mechanism by creating a specially named file is no longer supported. 
changelog_1324_h2=Version 1.1.106 (2009-01-04)
changelog_1325_li=Statement.setQueryTimeout did not work correctly for some statements. 
changelog_1326_li=CREATE DOMAIN\: built-in data types can now only be changed if no tables exist. 
changelog_1327_li=Linked tables\: a workaround for Oracle DATE columns has been implemented. 
changelog_1328_li=DatabaseMetaData.getPrimaryKeys\: the column PK_NAME now contains the constraint name instead of the index name (compatibility for PostgreSQL and Derby). 
changelog_1329_li=Using IN(..) inside a IN(SELECT..) did not always work. 
changelog_1330_li=Views with IN(..) that used a view itself did not work. 
changelog_1331_li=Union queries with LIMIT or ORDER BY that are used in a view or subquery did not work. 
changelog_1332_li=The license change a bit\: so far the license was modified to say 'Swiss law'. This is now changed back to the original 'US law'. This was requested by a user, and I don't see a problem. 
changelog_1333_li=Constraints for local temporary tables now session scoped. So far they were global. Thanks a lot to Eric Faulhaber for finding and fixing this problem\! 
changelog_1334_li=When using the auto-server mode, and if the lock file was modified in the future, the wrong exception was thrown ('Connection is broken' instead of 'Error opening database\: lock file modified in the future'). 
changelog_1335_h2=Version 1.1.105 (2008-12-19)
changelog_1336_li=The setting STORAGE\=TEXT is no longer supported. 
changelog_1337_li=Deleting a database using the tool DeleteDbFiles deleted LOB files of other databases in the same directory. 
changelog_1338_li=When used in a subquery, LIKE and IN(..) did not work correctly sometimes. 
changelog_1339_li=The fulltext search documentation has been improved. 
changelog_1340_li=ARRAY_GET returned the wrong data type (ARRAY). Now it returns VARCHAR. 
changelog_1341_li=Natural join\: the joined columns are not repeated any more when using SELECT *. 
changelog_1342_li=User defined aggregate functions\: the method getType expected internal data types instead of SQL types. 
changelog_1343_li=User defined aggregate functions did not work if there was no group by expression. 
changelog_1344_li=MySQL compatibility\: support for \:\= assignment as in @sum\:\=@sum+x 
changelog_1345_li=INSERT INTO TEST(SELECT * FROM TEST) is now supported. 
changelog_1346_li=Each session threw an invisible exception when garbage collected. 
changelog_1347_li=Foreign key constraints that refer to a quoted column did not work. 
changelog_1348_li=New meta data column INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES.LAST_MODIFICATION to get the table modification counter. 
changelog_1349_li=Shell\: line comments didn't work correctly. 
changelog_1350_li=H2 Console\: columns are now listed for up to 500 tables instead of 100. 
changelog_1351_li=H2 Console\: Cmd+Enter executes the current statement, Alt+Space for autocomplete. 
changelog_1352_li=JaQu\: the maximum length of a column can now be defined using maxLength. For an example, see Product.java (maxLength(category, 255)). 
changelog_1353_li=R&\#305;dvan A&\#287;ar has completed the Turkish translation of the H2 Console. Thanks a lot\!

faq_1014_h3=I Have a Problem or Feature Request
faq_1015_p=\ Please read the <a href\="build.html\#support">support checklist</a>. 
faq_1016_h3=Are there Known Bugs? When is the Next Release?
faq_1017_p=\ Usually, bugs get fixes as they are found. There is a release every few weeks. Here is the list of known and confirmed issues\: 
faq_1018_li=Tomcat and Glassfish 3 set most static fields (final or non-final) to <code>null</code> when unloading a web application. This can cause a <code>NullPointerException</code> in H2 versions 1.1.107 and older, and may still not work in newer versions. Please report it if you run into this issue. In Tomcat >\= 6.0 this behavior can be disabled by setting the system property <code>org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.ENABLE_CLEAR_REFERENCES\=false</code>, however Tomcat may then run out of memory. A known workaround is to put the <code>h2*.jar</code> file in a shared <code>lib</code> directory (<code>common/lib</code>). 
faq_1019_li=Some problems have been found with right outer join. Internally, it is converted to left outer join, which does not always produce the same results as other databases when used in combination with other joins. 
faq_1020_li=When using Install4j before 4.1.4 on Linux and enabling <code>pack200</code>, the <code>h2*.jar</code> becomes corrupted by the install process, causing application failure. A workaround is to add an empty file <code>h2*.jar.nopack</code> next to the <code>h2*.jar</code> file. This problem is solved in Install4j 4.1.4. 
faq_1021_h3=Is this Database Engine Open Source?
faq_1022_p=\ Yes. It is free to use and distribute, and the source code is included. See also under license. 
faq_1023_h3=My Query is Slow
faq_1024_p=\ Slow <code>SELECT</code> (or <code>DELETE, UPDATE, MERGE</code>) statement can have multiple reasons. Follow this checklist\: 
faq_1025_li=Run <code>ANALYZE</code> (see documentation for details). 
faq_1026_li=Run the query with <code>EXPLAIN</code> and check if indexes are used (see documentation for details). 
faq_1027_li=If required, create additional indexes and try again using <code>ANALYZE</code> and <code>EXPLAIN</code>. 
faq_1028_li=If it doesn't help please report the problem. 
faq_1029_h3=How to Create a New Database?
faq_1030_p=\ By default, a new database is automatically created if it does not yet exist. See <a href\="tutorial.html\#creating_new_databases">Creating New Databases</a>. 
faq_1031_h3=How to Connect to a Database?
faq_1032_p=\ The database driver is <code>org.h2.Driver</code>, and the database URL starts with <code>jdbc\:h2\:</code>. To connect to a database using JDBC, use the following code\: 
faq_1033_h3=Where are the Database Files Stored?
faq_1034_p=\ When using database URLs like <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code>, the database is stored in the user directory. For Windows, this is usually <code>C\:\\Documents and Settings\\&lt;userName&gt;</code>. If the base directory is not set (as in <code>jdbc\:h2\:test</code>), the database files are stored in the directory where the application is started (the current working directory). When using the H2 Console application from the start menu, this is <code>&lt;Installation Directory&gt;/bin</code>. The base directory can be set in the database URL. A fixed or relative path can be used. When using the URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:file\:data/sample</code>, the database is stored in the directory <code>data</code> (relative to the current working directory). The directory is created automatically if it does not yet exist. It is also possible to use the fully qualified directory name (and for Windows, drive name). Example\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:file\:C\:/data/test</code> 
faq_1035_h3=What is the Size Limit (Maximum Size) of a Database?
faq_1036_p=\ See <a href\="advanced.html\#limits_limitations">Limits and Limitations</a>. 
faq_1037_h3=Is it Reliable?
faq_1038_p=\ That is not easy to say. It is still a quite new product. A lot of tests have been written, and the code coverage of these tests is very high. Randomized stress tests are run regularly. But there are probably still bugs that have not yet been found (as with most software). Some features are known to be dangerous, they are only supported for situations where performance is more important than reliability. Those dangerous features are\: 
faq_1039_li=Disabling the transaction log mechanism using <code>SET LOG 0</code>. 
faq_1040_li=Using the transaction isolation level <code>READ_UNCOMMITTED</code> (<code>LOCK_MODE 0</code>) while at the same time using multiple connections. 
faq_1041_li=Disabling database file protection using <code>FILE_LOCK\=NO</code> in the database URL. 
faq_1042_li=Disabling referential integrity using <code>SET REFERENTIAL_INTEGRITY FALSE</code>. 
faq_1043_p=\ In addition to that, running out of memory should be avoided. In older versions, OutOfMemory errors while using the database could corrupt a databases.

faq_1044_p=\ Some areas of this database are not fully tested. When using one of those features for production, please ensure your use case is well tested (if possible with automated test cases). Those areas are\: 
927 928
faq_1045_li=Platforms other than Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS X, or JVMs other than Sun 1.5 or 1.6 
faq_1046_li=The features <code>AUTO_SERVER</code> and <code>AUTO_RECONNECT</code>

faq_1047_li=The file locking method 'Serialized' 
faq_1048_li=The MVCC (multi version concurrency) mode 
faq_1049_li=Cluster mode, 2-phase commit, savepoints 
faq_1050_li=24/7 operation 
faq_1051_li=Some operations on databases larger than 500 MB may be slower than expected 
faq_1052_li=The optimizer may not always select the best plan 
faq_1053_li=Fulltext search 
faq_1054_li=Operations on LOBs over 2 GB 
faq_1055_p=\ Areas considered experimental are\: 
faq_1056_li=The PostgreSQL server 
faq_1057_li=Multi-threading within the engine using <code>SET MULTI_THREADED\=1</code> 
faq_1058_li=Compatibility modes for other databases (only some features are implemented) 
faq_1059_li=The soft reference cache (CACHE_TYPE\=SOFT_LRU). It might not improve performance, and out of memory issues have been reported. 
faq_1060_p=\ Some users have reported that after a power failure, the database can sometimes not be opened because the index file is corrupt. In that case, the index file can be deleted (it is automatically re-created). To avoid this, append <code>;LOG\=2</code> to the database URL. See also\: <a href\="grammar.html\#set_log" class\="notranslate">SET LOG</a>. This problem will be solved using the new 'page store' mechanism (currently beta). 
faq_1061_h3=Column Names are Incorrect?
faq_1062_p=\ For the query <code>SELECT ID AS X FROM TEST</code> the method <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns <code>ID</code>, I expect it to return <code>X</code>. What's wrong? 
faq_1063_p=\ This is not a bug. According the the JDBC specification, the method <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> should return the name of the column and not the alias name. If you need the alias name, use <a href\="http\://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSetMetaData.html\#getColumnLabel(int)"><code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnLabel()</code></a>. Other database don't work like this (they don't follow the JDBC specification). If you need compatibility with those databases, use the <a href\="features.html\#compatibility">Compatibility Mode</a>, or set the system property <a href\="../javadoc/org/h2/constant/SysProperties.html\#h2.aliasColumnName"><code>h2.aliasColumnName</code></a>. 
faq_1064_h3=Why is Opening my Database Slow?
faq_1065_p=\ If it takes a long time to open a database, in most cases it was not closed the last time. This is specially a problem for larger databases. To close a database, close all connections to it before the application ends, or execute the command <code>SHUTDOWN</code>. The database is also closed when the virtual machine exits normally by using a shutdown hook. However killing a Java process or calling <code>Runtime.halt</code> will prevent this. The reason why opening is slow in this situations is that indexes are re-created. If you can not guarantee the database is closed, consider using <a href\="grammar.html\#set_log" class\="notranslate">SET LOG 2</a>. 
faq_1066_p=\ To find out what the problem is, open the database in embedded mode using the H2 Console. This will print progress information. If you have many lines with 'Creating index' it is an indication that the database was not closed the last time. 
faq_1067_p=\ Other possible reasons are\: the database is very big (many GB), or contains linked tables that are slow to open. 
faq_1068_h3=Is the GCJ Version Stable? Faster?
faq_1069_p=\ The GCJ version is not as stable as the Java version. When running the regression test with the GCJ version, sometimes the application just stops at what seems to be a random point without error message. Currently, the GCJ version is also slower than when using the Sun VM. However, the startup of the GCJ version is faster than when using a VM.

1227
features_1273_h2=Connection Modes
1228 1229 1230 1231
features_1274_p=\ The following connection modes are supported\: 
features_1275_li=Embedded mode (local connections using JDBC) 
features_1276_li=Server mode (remote connections using JDBC or ODBC over TCP/IP) 
features_1277_li=Mixed mode (local and remote connections at the same time) 
1232
features_1278_h3=Embedded Mode
1233
features_1279_p=\ In embedded mode, an application opens a database from within the same JVM using JDBC. This is the fastest and easiest connection mode. The disadvantage is that a database may only be open in one virtual machine (and class loader) at any time. As in all modes, both persistent and in-memory databases are supported. There is no limit on the number of database open concurrently, or on the number of open connections. 
1234
features_1280_h3=Server Mode
1235
features_1281_p=\ When using the server mode (sometimes called remote mode or client/server mode), an application opens a database remotely using the JDBC or ODBC API. A server needs to be started within the same or another virtual machine, or on another computer. Many applications can connect to the same database at the same time. The server mode is slower than the embedded mode, because all data is transferred over TCP/IP. As in all modes, both persistent and in-memory databases are supported. There is no limit on the number of database open concurrently, or on the number of open connections. 
1236
features_1282_h3=Mixed Mode
1237 1238
features_1283_p=\ The mixed mode is a combination of the embedded and the server mode. The first application that connects to a database does that in embedded mode, but also starts a server so that other applications (running in different processes or virtual machines) can concurrently access the same data. The local connections are as fast as if the database is used in just the embedded mode, while the remote connections are a bit slower. 
features_1284_p=\ The server can be started and stopped from within the application (using the server API), or automatically (automatic mixed mode). When using the <a href\="\#auto_mixed_mode">automatic mixed mode</a>, all clients that want to connect to the database (no matter if it's an local or remote connection) can do so using the exact same database URL. 
1239
features_1285_h2=Database URL Overview
1240
features_1286_p=\ This database supports multiple connection modes and connection settings. This is achieved using different database URLs. Settings in the URLs are not case sensitive.

features_1349_h2=Connecting to an Embedded (Local) Database
1304 1305 1306 1307 1308 1309 1310
features_1350_p=\ The database URL for connecting to a local database is <code>jdbc\:h2\:[file\:][&lt;path&gt;]&lt;databaseName&gt;</code>. The prefix <code>file\:</code> is optional. If no or only a relative path is used, then the current working directory is used as a starting point. The case sensitivity of the path and database name depend on the operating system, however it is recommended to use lowercase letters only. The database name must be at least three characters long (a limitation of <code>File.createTempFile</code>). To point to the user home directory, use <code>~/</code>, as in\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code>. 
features_1351_h2=In-Memory Databases
features_1352_p=\ For certain use cases (for example\: rapid prototyping, testing, high performance operations, read-only databases), it may not be required to persist data, or persist changes to the data. This database supports the in-memory mode, where the data is not persisted. 
features_1353_p=\ In some cases, only one connection to a in-memory database is required. This means the database to be opened is private. In this case, the database URL is <code>jdbc\:h2\:mem\:</code> Opening two connections within the same virtual machine means opening two different (private) databases. 
features_1354_p=\ Sometimes multiple connections to the same in-memory database are required. In this case, the database URL must include a name. Example\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:mem\:db1</code>. Accessing the same database in this way only works within the same virtual machine and class loader environment. 
features_1355_p=\ In-memory can be accessed remotely (or from multiple processes in the same machine) using TCP/IP or SSL/TLS. An example database URL is\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost/mem\:db1</code>. 
features_1356_p=\ By default, closing the last connection to a database closes the database. For an in-memory database, this means the content is lost. To keep the database open, add <code>;DB_CLOSE_DELAY\=-1</code> to the database URL. To keep the content of an in-memory database as long as the virtual machine is alive, use <code>jdbc\:h2\:mem\:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY\=-1</code>. 
1311
features_1357_h2=Database Files Encryption
1312
features_1358_p=\ The database files can be encrypted. Two encryption algorithms are supported\: AES and XTEA. To use file encryption, you need to specify the encryption algorithm (the 'cipher') and the file password (in addition to the user password) when connecting to the database. 
1313
features_1359_h3=Creating a New Database with File Encryption
1314
features_1360_p=\ By default, a new database is automatically created if it does not exist yet. To create an encrypted database, connect to it as it would already exist. 
1315
features_1361_h3=Connecting to an Encrypted Database
1316
features_1362_p=\ The encryption algorithm is set in the database URL, and the file password is specified in the password field, before the user password. A single space separates the file password and the user password; the file password itself may not contain spaces. File passwords and user passwords are case sensitive. Here is an example to connect to a password-encrypted database\: 
1317
features_1363_h3=Encrypting or Decrypting a Database
1318
features_1364_p=\ To encrypt an existing database, use the <code>ChangeFileEncryption</code> tool. This tool can also decrypt an encrypted database, or change the file encryption key. The tool is available from within the H2 Console in the tools section, or you can run it from the command line. The following command line will encrypt the database <code>test</code> in the user home directory with the file password <code>filepwd</code> and the encryption algorithm AES\: 
1319
features_1365_h2=Database File Locking
1320 1321 1322 1323 1324 1325 1326 1327
features_1366_p=\ Whenever a database is opened, a lock file is created to signal other processes that the database is in use. If database is closed, or if the process that opened the database terminates, this lock file is deleted. 
features_1367_p=\ The following file locking methods are implemented\: 
features_1368_li=The default method is 'file' and uses a watchdog thread to protect the database file. The watchdog reads the lock file each second. 
features_1369_li=The second method is 'socket' and opens a server socket. The socket method does not require reading the lock file every second. The socket method should only be used if the database files are only accessed by one (and always the same) computer. 
features_1370_li=It is also possible to open the database without file locking; in this case it is up to the application to protect the database files. 
features_1371_p=\ To open the database with a different file locking method, use the parameter <code>FILE_LOCK</code>. The following code opens the database with the 'socket' locking method\: 
features_1372_p=\ The following code forces the database to not create a lock file at all. Please note that this is unsafe as another process is able to open the same database, possibly leading to data corruption\: 
features_1373_p=\ For more information about the algorithms, see <a href\="advanced.html\#file_locking_protocols">Advanced / File Locking Protocols</a>. 
1328
features_1374_h2=Opening a Database Only if it Already Exists
1329
features_1375_p=\ By default, when an application calls <code>DriverManager.getConnection(url, ...)</code> and the database specified in the URL does not yet exist, a new (empty) database is created. In some situations, it is better to restrict creating new databases, and only allow to open existing databases. To do this, add <code>;IFEXISTS\=TRUE</code> to the database URL. In this case, if the database does not already exist, an exception is thrown when trying to connect. The connection only succeeds when the database already exists. The complete URL may look like this\: 
1330 1331
features_1376_h2=Closing a Database
features_1377_h3=Delayed Database Closing
1332 1333
features_1378_p=\ Usually, a database is closed when the last connection to it is closed. In some situations this slows down the application, for example when it is not possible to keep at least one connection open. The automatic closing of a database can be delayed or disabled with the SQL statement <code>SET DB_CLOSE_DELAY &lt;seconds&gt;</code>. The parameter &lt;seconds&gt; specifies the number of seconds to keep a database open after the last connection to it was closed. The following statement will keep a database open for 10 seconds after the last connection was closed\: 
features_1379_p=\ The value -1 means the database is not closed automatically. The value 0 is the default and means the database is closed when the last connection is closed. This setting is persistent and can be set by an administrator only. It is possible to set the value in the database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY\=10</code>. 
1334
features_1380_h3=Don't Close a Database when the VM Exits
1335
features_1381_p=\ By default, a database is closed when the last connection is closed. However, if it is never closed, the database is closed when the virtual machine exits normally, using a shutdown hook. In some situations, the database should not be closed in this case, for example because the database is still used at virtual machine shutdown (to store the shutdown process in the database for example). For those cases, the automatic closing of the database can be disabled in the database URL. The first connection (the one that is opening the database) needs to set the option in the database URL (it is not possible to change the setting afterwards). The database URL to disable database closing on exit is\: 
1336
features_1382_h2=Log Index Changes
1337
features_1383_p=\ Usually, changes to the index file are not logged for performance. If the index file is corrupt or missing when opening a database, it is re-created from the data. The index file can get corrupt when the database is not shut down correctly, because of power failure or abnormal program termination. In some situations, for example when using very large databases (over a few hundred MB), re-creating the index file takes very long. In these situations it may be better to log changes to the index file, so that recovery from a corrupted index file is fast. To enable log index changes, add <code>LOG\=2</code> to the URL, as in <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOG\=2</code>. This setting should be specified when connecting. The update performance of the database will be reduced when using this option. 
1338
features_1384_h2=Ignore Unknown Settings
1339
features_1385_p=\ Some applications (for example OpenOffice.org Base) pass some additional parameters when connecting to the database. Why those parameters are passed is unknown. The parameters <code>PREFERDOSLIKELINEENDS</code> and <code>IGNOREDRIVERPRIVILEGES</code> are such examples; they are simply ignored to improve the compatibility with OpenOffice.org. If an application passes other parameters when connecting to the database, usually the database throws an exception saying the parameter is not supported. It is possible to ignored such parameters by adding <code>;IGNORE_UNKNOWN_SETTINGS\=TRUE</code> to the database URL. 
1340
features_1386_h2=Changing Other Settings when Opening a Connection
1341
features_1387_p=\ In addition to the settings already described, other database settings can be passed in the database URL. Adding <code>;setting\=value</code> at the end of a database URL is the same as executing the statement <code>SET setting value</code> just after connecting. For a list of supported settings, see <a href\="grammar.html">SQL Grammar</a>. 
1342
features_1388_h2=Custom File Access Mode
1343 1344
features_1389_p=\ Usually, the database opens log, data and index files with the access mode <code>rw</code>, meaning read-write (except for read only databases, where the mode <code>r</code> is used). To open a database in read-only mode if the files are not read-only, use <code>ACCESS_MODE_DATA\=r</code>. Also supported are <code>rws</code> and <code>rwd</code>. The access mode used for log files is set via <code>ACCESS_MODE_LOG</code>; for data and index files use <code>ACCESS_MODE_DATA</code>. These settings must be specified in the database URL\: 
features_1390_p=\ For more information see <a href\="advanced.html\#durability_problems">Durability Problems</a>. On many operating systems the access mode <code>rws</code> does not guarantee that the data is written to the disk. 
1345 1346
features_1391_h2=Multiple Connections
features_1392_h3=Opening Multiple Databases at the Same Time
1347
features_1393_p=\ An application can open multiple databases at the same time, including multiple connections to the same database. The number of open database is only limited by the memory available. 
1348
features_1394_h3=Multiple Connections to the Same Database\: Client/Server
1349
features_1395_p=\ If you want to access the same database at the same time from different processes or computers, you need to use the client / server mode. In this case, one process acts as the server, and the other processes (that could reside on other computers as well) connect to the server via TCP/IP (or SSL/TLS over TCP/IP for improved security). 
1350
features_1396_h3=Multithreading Support
1351
features_1397_p=\ This database is multithreading-safe. That means, if an application is multi-threaded, it does not need to worry about synchronizing access to the database. Internally, most requests to the same database are synchronized. That means an application can use multiple threads that access the same database at the same time, however if one thread executes a long running query, the other threads need to wait. 
1352
features_1398_h3=Locking, Lock-Timeout, Deadlocks
1353 1354 1355
features_1399_p=\ The database uses table level locks to give each connection a consistent state of the data. There are two kinds of locks\: read locks (shared locks) and write locks (exclusive locks). All locks are released when the transaction commits or rolls back. When using the default transaction isolation level 'read committed', read locks are already released after each statement. 
features_1400_p=\ If a connection wants to reads from a table, and there is no write lock on the table, then a read lock is added to the table. If there is a write lock, then this connection waits for the other connection to release the lock. If a connection cannot get a lock for a specified time, then a lock timeout exception is thrown. 
features_1401_p=\ Usually, <code>SELECT</code> statements will generate read locks. This includes subqueries. Statements that modify data use write locks. It is also possible to lock a table exclusively without modifying data, using the statement <code>SELECT ... FOR UPDATE</code>. The statements <code>COMMIT</code> and <code>ROLLBACK</code> releases all open locks. The commands <code>SAVEPOINT</code> and <code>ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT</code> don't affect locks. The locks are also released when the autocommit mode changes, and for connections with autocommit set to true (this is the default), locks are released after each statement. The following statements generate locks\:

features_1419_p=\ The number of seconds until a lock timeout exception is thrown can be set separately for each connection using the SQL command <code>SET LOCK_TIMEOUT &lt;milliseconds&gt;</code>. The initial lock timeout (that is the timeout used for new connections) can be set using the SQL command <code>SET DEFAULT_LOCK_TIMEOUT &lt;milliseconds&gt;</code>. The default lock timeout is persistent.

1420
features_1466_h3=Moving and Renaming Database Files
1421 1422 1423
features_1467_p=\ Database name and location are not stored inside the database files. 
features_1468_p=\ While a database is closed, the files can be moved to another directory, and they can be renamed as well (as long as all files start with the same name). 
features_1469_p=\ As there is no platform specific data in the files, they can be moved to other operating systems without problems. 
1424
features_1470_h3=Backup
1425 1426
features_1471_p=\ When the database is closed, it is possible to backup the database files. Please note that index files do not need to be backed up, because they contain redundant data, and will be recreated automatically if they don't exist. 
features_1472_p=\ To backup data while the database is running, the SQL command <code>SCRIPT</code> can be used. 
1427
features_1473_h2=Logging and Recovery
1428 1429 1430 1431
features_1474_p=\ Whenever data is modified in the database and those changes are committed, the changes are logged to disk (except for in-memory objects). The changes to the data file itself are usually written later on, to optimize disk access. If there is a power failure, the data and index files are not up-to-date. But because the changes are in the log file, the next time the database is opened, the changes that are in the log file are re-applied automatically. 
features_1475_p=\ Please note that index file updates are not logged by default. If the database is opened and recovery is required, the index file is rebuilt from scratch. 
features_1476_p=\ There is usually only one log file per database. This file grows until the database is closed successfully, and is then deleted. Or, if the file gets too big, the database switches to another log file (with a higher id). It is possible to force the log switching by using the <code>CHECKPOINT</code> command. 
features_1477_p=\ If the database file is corrupted, because the checksum of a record does not match (for example, if the file was edited with another application), the database can be opened in recovery mode. In this case, errors in the database are logged but not thrown. The database should be backed up to a script and re-built as soon as possible. To open the database in the recovery mode, use a database URL must contain <code>;RECOVER\=1</code>, as in <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;RECOVER\=1</code>. Indexes are rebuilt in this case, and the summary (object allocation table) is not read in this case, so opening the database takes longer. 
1432
features_1478_h2=Compatibility
1433 1434
features_1479_p=\ All database engines behave a little bit different. Where possible, H2 supports the ANSI SQL standard, and tries to be compatible to other databases. There are still a few differences however\: 
features_1480_p=\ In MySQL text columns are case insensitive by default, while in H2 they are case sensitive. However H2 supports case insensitive columns as well. To create the tables with case insensitive texts, append <code>IGNORECASE\=TRUE</code> to the database URL (example\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;IGNORECASE\=TRUE</code>). 
1435
features_1481_h3=Compatibility Modes
1436
features_1482_p=\ For certain features, this database can emulate the behavior of specific databases. Not all features or differences of those databases are implemented. Here is the list of currently supported modes and the differences to the regular mode\: 
1437
features_1483_h3=DB2 Compatibility Mode
1438 1439 1440 1441
features_1484_p=\ To use the IBM DB2 mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=DB2</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE DB2</code>. 
features_1485_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. 
features_1486_li=Support for the syntax <code>[OFFSET .. ROW] [FETCH ... ONLY]</code> as an alternative for <code>LIMIT .. OFFSET</code>. 
features_1487_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. 
1442
features_1488_h3=Derby Compatibility Mode
1443 1444 1445 1446
features_1489_p=\ To use the Apache Derby mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=Derby</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE Derby</code>. 
features_1490_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. 
features_1491_li=For unique indexes, <code>NULL</code> is distinct. That means only one row with <code>NULL</code> in one of the columns is allowed. 
features_1492_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. 
1447
features_1493_h3=HSQLDB Compatibility Mode
1448 1449 1450 1451
features_1494_p=\ To use the HSQLDB mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=HSQLDB</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE HSQLDB</code>. 
features_1495_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. 
features_1496_li=When converting the scale of decimal data, the number is only converted if the new scale is smaller than the current scale. Usually, the scale is converted and 0s are added if required. 
features_1497_li=For unique indexes, <code>NULL</code> is distinct. That means only one row with <code>NULL</code> in one of the columns is allowed. 
1452
features_1498_h3=MS SQL Server Compatibility Mode
1453 1454 1455 1456 1457
features_1499_p=\ To use the MS SQL Server mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=MSSQLServer</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE MSSQLServer</code>. 
features_1500_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. 
features_1501_li=Identifiers may be quoted using square brackets as in <code>[Test]</code>. 
features_1502_li=For unique indexes, <code>NULL</code> is distinct. That means only one row with <code>NULL</code> in one of the columns is allowed. 
features_1503_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. 
1458
features_1504_h3=MySQL Compatibility Mode
1459 1460 1461 1462 1463 1464
features_1505_p=\ To use the MySQL mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=MySQL</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE MySQL</code>. 
features_1506_li=When inserting data, if a column is defined to be <code>NOT NULL</code> and <code>NULL</code> is inserted, then a 0 (or empty string, or the current timestamp for timestamp columns) value is used. Usually, this operation is not allowed and an exception is thrown. 
features_1507_li=Creating indexes in the <code>CREATE TABLE</code> statement is allowed. 
features_1508_li=Meta data calls return identifiers in lower case. 
features_1509_li=When converting a floating point number to an integer, the fractional digits are not truncated, but the value is rounded. 
features_1510_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. 
1465
features_1511_h3=Oracle Compatibility Mode
1466 1467 1468 1469
features_1512_p=\ To use the Oracle mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=Oracle</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE Oracle</code>. 
features_1513_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. 
features_1514_li=When using unique indexes, multiple rows with <code>NULL</code> in all columns are allowed, however it is not allowed to have multiple rows with the same values otherwise. 
features_1515_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. 
1470
features_1516_h3=PostgreSQL Compatibility Mode
1471 1472 1473 1474
features_1517_p=\ To use the PostgreSQL mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=PostgreSQL</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE PostgreSQL</code>. 
features_1518_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. 
features_1519_li=When converting a floating point number to an integer, the fractional digits are not be truncated, but the value is rounded. 
features_1520_li=The system columns <code>CTID</code> and <code>OID</code> are supported. 
1475
features_1521_h2=Auto-Reconnect
1476 1477
features_1522_p=\ The auto-reconnect feature causes the JDBC driver to reconnect to the database if the connection is lost. The automatic re-connect only occurs when auto-commit is enabled; if auto-commit is disabled, an exception is thrown. 
features_1523_p=\ Re-connecting will open a new session. After an automatic re-connect, variables and local temporary tables definitions (excluding data) are re-created. The contents of the system table <code>INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SESSION_STATE</code> contains all client side state that is re-created. 
1478
features_1524_h2=Automatic Mixed Mode
1479 1480 1481 1482 1483
features_1525_p=\ Multiple processes can access the same database without having to start the server manually. To do that, append <code>;AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE</code> to the database URL. You can use the same database URL no matter if the database is already open or not. 
features_1526_p=\ When using this mode, the first connection to the database is made in embedded mode, and additionally a server is started internally. If the database is already open in another process, the server mode is used automatically. 
features_1527_p=\ The application that opens the first connection to the database uses the embedded mode, which is faster than the server mode. Therefore the main application should open the database first if possible. The first connection automatically starts a server on a random port. This server allows remote connections, however only to this database (to ensure that, the client reads <code>.lock.db</code> file and sends the the random key that is stored there to the server). When the first connection is closed, the server stops. If other (remote) connections are still open, one of them will then start a server (auto-reconnect is enabled automatically). 
features_1528_p=\ All processes need to have access to the database files. If the first connection is closed (the connection that started the server), open transactions of other connections will be rolled back. Explicit client/server connections (using <code>jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://</code> or <code>ssl\://</code>) are not supported. This mode is not supported for in-memory databases. 
features_1529_p=\ Here is an example how to use this mode. Application 1 and 2 are not necessarily started on the same computer, but they need to have access to the database files. Application 1 and 2 are typically two different processes (however they could run within the same process). 
1484
features_1530_h2=Using the Trace Options
1485 1486 1487 1488 1489 1490
features_1531_p=\ To find problems in an application, it is sometimes good to see what database operations where executed. This database offers the following trace features\: 
features_1532_li=Trace to <code>System.out</code> and/or to a file 
features_1533_li=Support for trace levels <code>OFF, ERROR, INFO, DEBUG</code> 
features_1534_li=The maximum size of the trace file can be set 
features_1535_li=It is possible to generate Java source code from the trace file 
features_1536_li=Trace can be enabled at runtime by manually creating a file 
1491
features_1537_h3=Trace Options
1492 1493
features_1538_p=\ The simplest way to enable the trace option is setting it in the database URL. There are two settings, one for <code>System.out</code> (<code>TRACE_LEVEL_SYSTEM_OUT</code>) tracing, and one for file tracing (<code>TRACE_LEVEL_FILE</code>). The trace levels are 0 for <code>OFF</code>, 1 for <code>ERROR</code> (the default), 2 for <code>INFO</code>, and 3 for <code>DEBUG</code>. A database URL with both levels set to <code>DEBUG</code> is\: 
features_1539_p=\ The trace level can be changed at runtime by executing the SQL command <code>SET TRACE_LEVEL_SYSTEM_OUT level</code> (for <code>System.out</code> tracing) or <code>SET TRACE_LEVEL_FILE level</code> (for file tracing). Example\: 
1494
features_1540_h3=Setting the Maximum Size of the Trace File
1495
features_1541_p=\ When using a high trace level, the trace file can get very big quickly. The default size limit is 16 MB, if the trace file exceeds this limit, it is renamed to <code>.old</code> and a new file is created. If another such file exists, it is deleted. To limit the size to a certain number of megabytes, use <code>SET TRACE_MAX_FILE_SIZE mb</code>. Example\: 
1496
features_1542_h3=Java Code Generation
1497 1498 1499
features_1543_p=\ When setting the trace level to <code>INFO</code> or <code>DEBUG</code>, Java source code is generated as well. This simplifies reproducing problems. The trace file looks like this\: 
features_1544_p=\ To filter the Java source code, use the <code>ConvertTraceFile</code> tool as follows\: 
features_1545_p=\ The generated file <code>Test.java</code> will contain the Java source code. The generated source code may be too large to compile (the size of a Java method is limited). If this is the case, the source code needs to be split in multiple methods. The password is not listed in the trace file and therefore not included in the source code. 
1500
features_1546_h2=Using Other Logging APIs
1501
features_1547_p=\ By default, this database uses its own native 'trace' facility. This facility is called 'trace' and not 'log' within this database to avoid confusion with the transaction log. Trace messages can be written to both file and <code>System.out</code>. In most cases, this is sufficient, however sometimes it is better to use the same facility as the application, for example Log4j. To do that, this database support SLF4J. 
1502
features_1548_a=SLF4J
1503 1504 1505
features_1549_p=\ is a simple facade for various logging APIs and allows to plug in the desired implementation at deployment time. SLF4J supports implementations such as Logback, Log4j, Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL), Java logging, x4juli, and Simple Log. 
features_1550_p=\ To enable SLF4J, set the file trace level to 4 in the database URL\: 
features_1551_p=\ Changing the log mechanism is not possible after the database is open, that means executing the SQL statement <code>SET TRACE_LEVEL_FILE 4</code> when the database is already open will not have the desired effect. To use SLF4J, all required jar files need to be in the classpath. If it does not work, check the file <code>&lt;database&gt;.trace.db</code> for error messages. 
1506
features_1552_h2=Read Only Databases
1507
features_1553_p=\ If the database files are read-only, then the database is read-only as well. It is not possible to create new tables, add or modify data in this database. Only <code>SELECT</code> and <code>CALL</code> statements are allowed. To create a read-only database, close the database so that the log file gets smaller. Do not delete the log file. Then, make the database files read-only using the operating system. When you open the database now, it is read-only. There are two ways an application can find out whether database is read-only\: by calling <code>Connection.isReadOnly()</code> or by executing the SQL statement <code>CALL READONLY()</code>. 
1508 1509 1510 1511 1512 1513 1514 1515 1516 1517 1518 1519 1520 1521 1522 1523 1524 1525 1526 1527 1528 1529 1530 1531 1532 1533 1534 1535 1536 1537 1538 1539 1540 1541 1542 1543 1544 1545 1546 1547 1548 1549 1550 1551 1552 1553 1554 1555 1556 1557 1558 1559 1560 1561 1562 1563 1564 1565 1566 1567 1568 1569
features_1554_p=\ Using the <a href\="\#custom_access_mode">Custom Access Mode</a> <code>r</code> the database can also be opened in read-only mode, even if the database file is not read only. 
features_1555_h2=Read Only Databases in Zip or Jar File
features_1556_p=\ To create a read-only database in a zip file, first create a regular persistent database, and then create a backup. The database must not have pending changes, that means you need to close all connections to the database first. If you are using a database named <code>test</code>, an easy way to create a zip file is using the <code>Backup</code> tool. You can start the tool from the command line, or from within the H2 Console (Tools - Backup). Please note that the database must be closed when the backup is created. Therefore, the SQL statement <code>BACKUP TO</code> can not be used. 
features_1557_p=\ When the zip file is created, you can open the database in the zip file using the following database URL\: 
features_1558_p=\ Databases in zip files are read-only. The performance for some queries will be slower than when using a regular database, because random access in zip files is not supported (only streaming). How much this affects the performance depends on the queries and the data. The database is not read in memory; therefore large databases are supported as well. The same indexes are used as when using a regular database. 
features_1559_h2=Graceful Handling of Low Disk Space Situations
features_1560_p=\ If the database needs more disk space, it calls the database event listener if one is installed. The application may then delete temporary files, or display a message and wait until the user has resolved the problem. To install a listener, run the SQL statement <code>SET DATABASE_EVENT_LISTENER</code> or use a database URL of the form <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;DATABASE_EVENT_LISTENER\='com.acme.DbListener'</code> (the quotes around the class name are required). See also the <code>DatabaseEventListener</code> API. 
features_1561_h3=Opening a Corrupted Database
features_1562_p=\ If a database cannot be opened because the boot info (the SQL script that is run at startup) is corrupted, then the database can be opened by specifying a database event listener. The exceptions are logged, but opening the database will continue. 
features_1563_h2=Computed Columns / Function Based Index
features_1564_p=\ Function indexes are not directly supported by this database, but they can be emulated by using computed columns. For example, if an index on the upper-case version of a column is required, create a computed column with the upper-case version of the original column, and create an index for this column\: 
features_1565_p=\ When inserting data, it is not required (and not allowed) to specify a value for the upper-case version of the column, because the value is generated. But you can use the column when querying the table\: 
features_1566_h2=Multi-Dimensional Indexes
features_1567_p=\ A tool is provided to execute efficient multi-dimension (spatial) range queries. This database does not support a specialized spatial index (R-Tree or similar). Instead, the B-Tree index is used. For each record, the multi-dimensional key is converted (mapped) to a single dimensional (scalar) value. This value specifies the location on a space-filling curve. 
features_1568_p=\ Currently, Z-order (also called N-order or Morton-order) is used; Hilbert curve could also be used, but the implementation is more complex. The algorithm to convert the multi-dimensional value is called bit-interleaving. The scalar value is indexed using a B-Tree index (usually using a computed column). 
features_1569_p=\ The method can result in a drastic performance improvement over just using an index on the first column. Depending on the data and number of dimensions, the improvement is usually higher than factor 5. The tool generates a SQL query from a specified multi-dimensional range. The method used is not database dependent, and the tool can easily be ported to other databases. For an example how to use the tool, please have a look at the sample code provided in <code>TestMultiDimension.java</code>. 
features_1570_h2=Using Passwords
features_1571_h3=Using Secure Passwords
features_1572_p=\ Remember that weak passwords can be broken no matter of the encryption and security protocol. Don't use passwords that can be found in a dictionary. Also appending numbers does not make them secure. A way to create good passwords that can be remembered is, take the first letters of a sentence, use upper and lower case characters, and creatively include special characters. Example\: 
features_1573_code=i'sE2rtPiUKtT
features_1574_p=\ from the sentence <code>it's easy to remember this password if you know the trick</code>. 
features_1575_h3=Passwords\: Using Char Arrays instead of Strings
features_1576_p=\ Java strings are immutable objects and cannot be safely 'destroyed' by the application. After creating a string, it will remain in the main memory of the computer at least until it is garbage collected. The garbage collection cannot be controlled by the application, and even if it is garbage collected the data may still remain in memory. It might also be possible that the part of memory containing the password is swapped to disk (because not enough main memory is available). 
features_1577_p=\ An attacker might have access to the swap file of the operating system. It is therefore a good idea to use char arrays instead of strings to store passwords. Char arrays can be cleared (filled with zeros) after use, and therefore the password will not be stored in the swap file. 
features_1578_p=\ This database supports using char arrays instead of string to pass user and file passwords. The following code can be used to do that\: 
features_1579_p=\ This example requires Java 1.6. When using Swing, use <code>javax.swing.JPasswordField</code>. 
features_1580_h3=Passing the User Name and/or Password in the URL
features_1581_p=\ Instead of passing the user name as a separate parameter as in <code> Connection conn \= DriverManager. getConnection("jdbc\:h2\:~/test", "sa", "123"); </code> the user name (and/or password) can be supplied in the URL itself\: <code> Connection conn \= DriverManager. getConnection("jdbc\:h2\:~/test;USER\=sa;PASSWORD\=123"); </code> The settings in the URL override the settings passed as a separate parameter. 
features_1582_h2=User-Defined Functions and Stored Procedures
features_1583_p=\ In addition to the built-in functions, this database supports user-defined Java functions. In this database, Java functions can be used as stored procedures as well. A function must be declared (registered) before it can be used. A functions can be defined using source code, or as a reference to a compiled class that is available in the classpath. 
features_1584_h3=Referencing a Compiled Method
features_1585_p=\ When referencing a method, the class must already be compiled and included in the classpath where the database is running. Only static Java methods are supported; both the class and the method must be public. Example Java class\: 
features_1586_p=\ The Java function must be registered in the database by calling <code>CREATE ALIAS ... FOR</code>\: 
features_1587_p=\ For a complete sample application, see <code>src/test/org/h2/samples/Function.java</code>. 
features_1588_h3=Declaring Functions as Source Code
features_1589_p=\ When defining a function alias with source code, the database tries to compile the source code using the Sun Java compiler (the class <code>com.sun.tools.javac.Main</code>) if the <code>tools.jar</code> is in the classpath. If not, <code>javac</code> is run as a separate process. Only the source code is stored in the database; the class is compiled each time the database is re-opened. Source code is usually passed as dollar quoted text to avoid escaping problems, however single quotes can be used as well. Example\: 
features_1590_p=\ The method name (<code>nextPrime</code> in the example above) is ignored. By default, the three packages <code>java.util, java.math, java.sql</code> are imported. If different import statements are required, they must be declared at the beginning and separated with the tag <code>@CODE</code>\: 
features_1591_p=\ The following template is used to create a complete Java class\: 
features_1592_h3=Function Data Type Mapping
features_1593_p=\ Functions that accept non-nullable parameters such as <code>int</code> will not be called if one of those parameters is <code>NULL</code>. Instead, the result of the function is <code>NULL</code>. If the function should be called if a parameter is <code>NULL</code>, you need to use <code>java.lang.Integer</code> instead. 
features_1594_p=\ SQL types are mapped to Java classes and vice-versa as in the JDBC API. For details, see <a href\="datatypes.html">Data Types</a>. There are two special cases\: <code>java.lang.Object</code> is mapped to <code>OTHER</code> (a serialized object). Therefore, <code>java.lang.Object</code> can not be used to match all SQL types (matching all SQL types is not supported). The second special case is <code>Object[]</code>\: arrays of any class are mapped to <code>ARRAY</code>. 
features_1595_h3=Functions that require a Connection
features_1596_p=\ If the first parameter of a Java function is a <code>java.sql.Connection</code>, then the connection to database is provided. This connection does not need to be closed before returning. When calling the method from within the SQL statement, this connection parameter does not need to be (can not be) specified. 
features_1597_h3=Functions Throwing an Exception
features_1598_p=\ If a function throws an exception, then the current statement is rolled back and the exception is thrown to the application. 
features_1599_h3=Functions Returning a Result Set
features_1600_p=\ Functions may returns a result set. Such a function can be called with the <code>CALL</code> statement\: 
features_1601_h3=Using SimpleResultSet
features_1602_p=\ A function can create a result set using the <code>SimpleResultSet</code> tool\: 
features_1603_h3=Using a Function as a Table
features_1604_p=\ A function that returns a result set can be used like a table. However, in this case the function is called at least twice\: first while parsing the statement to collect the column names (with parameters set to <code>null</code> where not known at compile time). And then, while executing the statement to get the data (maybe multiple times if this is a join). If the function is called just to get the column list, the URL of the connection passed to the function is <code>jdbc\:columnlist\:connection</code>. Otherwise, the URL of the connection is <code>jdbc\:default\:connection</code>. 
features_1605_h2=Triggers
features_1606_p=\ This database supports Java triggers that are called before or after a row is updated, inserted or deleted. Triggers can be used for complex consistency checks, or to update related data in the database. It is also possible to use triggers to simulate materialized views. For a complete sample application, see <code>src/test/org/h2/samples/TriggerSample.java</code>. A Java trigger must implement the interface <code>org.h2.api.Trigger</code>. The trigger class must be available in the classpath of the database engine (when using the server mode, it must be in the classpath of the server). 
features_1607_p=\ The connection can be used to query or update data in other tables. The trigger then needs to be defined in the database\: 
features_1608_p=\ The trigger can be used to veto a change by throwing a <code>SQLException</code>. 
features_1609_h2=Compacting a Database
features_1610_p=\ Empty space in the database file is re-used automatically. To re-build the indexes, the simplest way is to delete the <code>.index.db</code> file while the database is closed. However in some situations (for example after deleting a lot of data in a database), one sometimes wants to shrink the size of the database (compact a database). Here is a sample function to do this\: 
features_1611_p=\ See also the sample application <code>org.h2.samples.Compact</code>. The commands <code>SCRIPT / RUNSCRIPT</code> can be used as well to create a backup of a database and re-build the database from the script. 
features_1612_h2=Cache Settings
features_1613_p=\ The database keeps most frequently used data and index pages in the main memory. The amount of memory used for caching can be changed using the setting <code>CACHE_SIZE</code>. This setting can be set in the database connection URL (<code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;CACHE_SIZE\=131072</code>), or it can be changed at runtime using <code>SET CACHE_SIZE size</code>. 
features_1614_p=\ Also included is an experimental second level soft reference cache. Rows in this cache are only garbage collected on low memory. By default the second level cache is disabled. To enable it, use the prefix <code>SOFT_</code>. Example\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;CACHE_TYPE\=SOFT_LRU</code>. The cache might not actually improve performance. If you plan to use it, please run your own test cases first. 
features_1615_p=\ To get information about page reads and writes, and the current caching algorithm in use, call <code>SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS</code>. The number of pages read / written is listed for the data and index file.

history_1010_h2=History of this Database Engine
1623
history_1011_p=\ The development of H2 was started in May 2004, but it was first published on December 14th 2005. The main author of H2, Thomas Mueller, is also the original developer of Hypersonic SQL. In 2001, he joined PointBase Inc. where he wrote PointBase Micro, a commercial Java SQL database. At that point, he had to discontinue Hypersonic SQL. The HSQLDB Group was formed to continued to work on the Hypersonic SQL codebase. The name H2 stands for Hypersonic 2, however H2 does not share code with Hypersonic SQL or HSQLDB. H2 is built from scratch. 
1624
history_1012_h2=Why Java
1625
history_1013_p=\ The main reasons to use a Java database are\: 
1626 1627 1628 1629 1630
history_1014_li=Very simple to integrate in Java applications 
history_1015_li=Support for many different platforms 
history_1016_li=More secure than native applications (no buffer overflows) 
history_1017_li=User defined functions (or triggers) run very fast 
history_1018_li=Unicode support 
1631
history_1019_p=\ Some think Java is too slow for low level operations, but this is no longer true. Garbage collection for example is now faster than manual memory management. 
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
1632
history_1020_p=\ Developing Java code is faster than developing C or C++ code. When using Java, most time can be spent on improving the algorithms instead of porting the code to different platforms or doing memory management. Features such as Unicode and network libraries are already built-in. In Java, writing secure code is easier because buffer overflows can not occur. Features such as reflection can be used for randomized testing. 
1633 1634
history_1021_p=\ Java is future proof\: a lot of companies support Java. Java is now open source. 
history_1022_p=\ To increase the portability and ease of use, this software depends on very few libraries. Features that are not available in open source Java implementations (such as Swing) are not used, or only used for optional features.

jaqu_1011_h2=What is JaQu
jaqu_1012_p=\ JaQu stands for Java Query and allows to access databases using pure Java. JaQu provides a fluent interface (or internal DSL) for building SQL statements. JaQu replaces SQL, JDBC, and persistence frameworks such as Hibernate. JaQu is something like LINQ for Java (LINQ stands for "language integrated query" and is a Microsoft .NET technology). The following JaQu code\: 
jaqu_1013_p=\ stands for the SQL statement\: 
jaqu_1014_h2=Differences to Other Data Access Tools
jaqu_1015_p=\ Unlike SQL, JaQu can be easily integrated in Java applications. Because JaQu is pure Java, auto-complete in the IDE and Javadoc and are supported. Type checking is performed by the compiler. JaQu fully protects against SQL injection. 
jaqu_1016_p=\ JaQu is much smaller than persistence frameworks such as Hibernate. Unlike iBatis and Hibernate, no XML or annotation based configuration is required; instead the configuration (if required at all) is done in pure Java, in the application itself. 
jaqu_1017_p=\ JaQu does not require or contain any data caching mechanism. Like JDBC and iBatis, JaQu provides full control over when and what SQL statements are executed. 
jaqu_1018_h3=Restrictions
jaqu_1019_p=\ Primitive types (eg. <code>boolean, int, long, double</code>) are not supported. Use <code>java.lang.Boolean, Integer, Long, Double</code> instead. 
jaqu_1020_h3=Why in Java?
jaqu_1021_p=\ Most people use Java in their application. Mixing Java and another language (for example Scala or Groovy) in the same application is complicated\: you would need to split the application and database code. 
jaqu_1022_h2=Current State
jaqu_1023_p=\ Currently, JaQu is only tested with the H2 database. The API may change in future versions. JaQu is not part of the h2 jar file, however the source code is included in H2, under\: 
jaqu_1024_code=src/test/org/h2/test/jaqu/*
jaqu_1025_li=\ (samples and tests) 
jaqu_1026_code=src/tools/org/h2/jaqu/*
jaqu_1027_li=\ (framework) 
jaqu_1028_h2=Building the JaQu Library
jaqu_1029_p=\ To create the JaQu jar file, run\: <code>build jarJaqu</code>. This will create the file <code>bin/h2jaqu.jar</code>. 
jaqu_1030_h2=Requirements
jaqu_1031_p=\ JaQu requires Java 1.5. Annotations are not need. Currently, JaQu is only tested with the H2 database engine, however in theory it should work with any database that supports the JDBC API. 
jaqu_1032_h2=Example Code
jaqu_1033_h2=Configuration
jaqu_1034_p=\ JaQu does not require any configuration when using the default mapping. To define table indices, or if you want to map a class to a table with a different name, or a field to a column with another name, create a function called <code>define</code> in the data class. Example\: 
jaqu_1035_p=\ The method <code>define()</code> contains the mapping definition. It is called once when the class is used for the first time. Like annotations, the mapping is defined in the class itself. Unlike when using annotations, the compiler can check the syntax even for multi-column objects (multi-column indexes, multi-column primary keys and so on). Because the definition is written in regular Java, the configuration can depend on the environment. This is not possible using annotations. Unlike XML mapping configuration, the configuration is integrated in the class itself. 
jaqu_1036_h2=Natural Syntax
jaqu_1037_p=The plan is to support more natural (pure Java) syntax in conditions. To do that, the condition class is de-compiled to a SQL condition. A proof of concept decompiler is included (but it doesn't work yet). The planned syntax is\: 
jaqu_1038_h2=Other Ideas
jaqu_1039_p=\ This project has just been started, and nothing is fixed yet. Some ideas for what to implement are\: 
jaqu_1040_li=Support queries on collections (instead of using a database). 
jaqu_1041_li=Provide API level compatibility with JPA (so that JaQu can be used as an extension of JPA). 
jaqu_1042_li=Internally use a JPA implementation (for example Hibernate) instead of SQL directly. 
jaqu_1043_li=Use PreparedStatements and cache them.

1764 1765 1766 1767 1768 1769 1770 1771
license_1002_p=\ H2 is dual licensed and available under a modified version of the MPL 1.1 (<a href\="http\://www.mozilla.org/MPL">Mozilla Public License</a>) or under the (unmodified) EPL 1.0 (<a href\="http\://opensource.org/licenses/eclipse-1.0.php">Eclipse Public License</a>). The changes to the MPL are 
license_1003_em=underlined</em>. There is a License FAQ for both the MPL and the EPL, most of that is applicable to the H2 License as well. 
license_1004_li=You can use H2 for free. You can integrate it into your application (including commercial applications), and you can distribute it. 
license_1005_li=Files containing only your code are not covered by this license (it is 'commercial friendly'). 
license_1006_li=Modifications to the H2 source code must be published. 
license_1007_li=You don't need to provide the source code of H2 if you did not modify anything. 
license_1008_p=\ However, nobody is allowed to rename H2, modify it a little, and sell it as a database engine without telling the customers it is in fact H2. This happened to HSQLDB\: a company called 'bungisoft' copied HSQLDB, renamed it to 'RedBase', and tried to sell it, hiding the fact that it was in fact just HSQLDB. It seems 'bungisoft' does not exist any more, but you can use the <a href\="http\://www.archive.org">Wayback Machine</a> and visit old web pages of <code>http\://www.bungisoft.com</code>. 
license_1009_p=\ About porting the source code to another language (for example C\# or C++)\: converted source code (even if done manually) stays under the same copyright and license as the original code. The copyright of the ported source code does not (automatically) go to the person who ported the code.

All sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive. 
license_1097_p=8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that\: 
license_1098_p=8.2.a. such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such Participant to You under Sections <a href\="\#section-2.1">2.1</a> and/or <a href\="\#section-2.2">2.2</a> of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either\: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under Sections <a href\="\#section-2.1">2.1</a> and/or <a href\="\#section-2.2">2.2</a> automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above. 
license_1099_p=8.2.b. any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(<a href\="\#section-2.1-b">b</a>) and 2.2(<a href\="\#section-2.2-b">b</a>) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that Participant. 
license_1100_p=8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted by such Participant under Sections <a href\="\#section-2.1">2.1</a> or <a href\="\#section-2.2">2.2</a> shall be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or license. 
license_1101_p=8.4. In the event of termination under Sections <a href\="\#section-8.1">8.1</a> or <a href\="\#section-8.2">8.2</a> above, all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination. 
1864
license_1102_h3=9. Limitation of Liability
1865
license_1103_p=\ Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall you, the initial developer, any other contributor, or any distributor of covered code, or any supplier of any of such parties, be liable to any person for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from such party's negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to you. 
1866
license_1104_h3=10. United States Government End Users
1867
license_1105_p=\ The Covered Code is a "commercial item", as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (October 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation", as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (September 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein. 
1868
license_1106_h3=11. Miscellaneous
1869
license_1107_p=\ This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered to do business in United States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License. 
1870
license_1108_h3=12. Responsibility for Claims
1871
license_1109_p=\ As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability. 
1872
license_1110_h3=13. Multiple-Licensed Code
1873
license_1111_p=\ Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed".

1878 1879 1880 1881 1882 1883 1884 1885 1886 1887
license_1116_p=\ "Contribution" means\: 
license_1117_p=\ a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and 
license_1118_p=\ b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor\: 
license_1119_p=\ i) changes to the Program, and 
license_1120_p=\ ii) additions to the Program; 
license_1121_p=\ where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which\: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program. 
license_1122_p=\ "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program. 
license_1123_p=\ "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program. 
license_1124_p=\ "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement. 
license_1125_p=\ "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors. 
1888
license_1126_h3=2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
1889 1890 1891 1892
license_1127_p=\ a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form. 
license_1128_p=\ b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder. 
license_1129_p=\ c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program. 
license_1130_p=\ d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement. 
1893
license_1131_h3=3. REQUIREMENTS
1894 1895 1896 1897 1898 1899 1900 1901 1902 1903 1904 1905
license_1132_p=\ A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that\: 
license_1133_p=\ a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and 
license_1134_p=\ b) its license agreement\: 
license_1135_p=\ i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose; 
license_1136_p=\ ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits; 
license_1137_p=\ iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and 
license_1138_p=\ iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange. 
license_1139_p=\ When the Program is made available in source code form\: 
license_1140_p=\ a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and 
license_1141_p=\ b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program. 
license_1142_p=\ Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program. 
license_1143_p=\ Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution. 
1906
license_1144_h3=4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
1907 1908
license_1145_p=\ Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must\: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense. 
license_1146_p=\ For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages. 
1909
license_1147_h3=5. NO WARRANTY
1910
license_1148_p=\ EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations. 
1911
license_1149_h3=6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
1912
license_1150_p=\ EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 
1913
license_1151_h3=7. GENERAL
1914 1915 1916 1917 1918
license_1152_p=\ If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. 
license_1153_p=\ If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. 
license_1154_p=\ All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive. 
license_1155_p=\ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved. 
license_1156_p=\ This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.

performance_1240_h3=Benchmark Results and Comments
performance_1241_h4=H2
performance_1242_p=\ Version 1.1.114 (2009-06-01) was used for the test. For simpler operations, the performance of H2 is about the same as for HSQLDB. For more complex queries, the query optimizer is very important. However H2 is not very fast in every case, certain kind of queries may still be slow. One situation where is H2 is slow is large result sets, because they are buffered to disk if more than a certain number of records are returned. The advantage of buffering is, there is no limit on the result set size. The open/close time is almost fixed, because of the file locking protocol\: the engine waits some time after opening a database to ensure the database files are not opened by another process. 
performance_1243_h4=HSQLDB
performance_1244_p=\ Version 1.8.0.10 was used for the test. Cached tables are used in this test (hsqldb.default_table_type\=cached), and the write delay is 1 second (<code>SET WRITE_DELAY 1</code>). HSQLDB is fast when using simple operations. HSQLDB is very slow in the last test (BenchC\: Transactions), probably because is has a bad query optimizer. One query where HSQLDB is slow is a two-table join\: 
performance_1245_p=\ The PolePosition benchmark also shows that the query optimizer does not do a very good job for some queries. Another disadvantage of HSQLDB is the slow startup / shutdown time (currently not listed) when using bigger databases. The reason is, a backup of the whole data is made whenever the database is opened or closed. 
performance_1246_h4=Derby
performance_1247_p=\ Version 10.4.2.0 was used for the test. Derby is clearly the slowest embedded database in this test. This seems to be a structural problem, because all operations are really slow. It will be hard for the developers of Derby to improve the performance to a reasonable level. A few problems have been identified\: leaving autocommit on is a problem for Derby. If it is switched off during the whole test, the results are about 20% better for Derby. Derby supports a testing mode (system property <code>derby.system.durability\=test</code>) where durability is disabled. According to the documentation, this setting should be used for testing only, as the database may not recover after a crash. Enabling this setting improves performance by a factor of 2.6 (embedded mode) or 1.4 (server mode). Even if enabled, Derby is still less than half as fast as H2 in default mode. 
performance_1248_h4=PostgreSQL
performance_1249_p=\ Version 8.3.7 was used for the test. The following options where changed in <code>postgresql.conf\: fsync \= off, commit_delay \= 1000</code>. PostgreSQL is run in server mode. It looks like the base performance is slower than MySQL, the reason could be the network layer. The memory usage number is incorrect, because only the memory usage of the JDBC driver is measured. 
performance_1250_h4=MySQL
performance_1251_p=\ Version 5.1.34-community was used for the test. MySQL was run with the InnoDB backend. The setting <code>innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit</code> (found in the <code>my.ini</code> file) was set to 0. Otherwise (and by default), MySQL is really slow (around 140 statements per second in this test) because it tries to flush the data to disk for each commit. For small transactions (when autocommit is on) this is really slow. But many use cases use small or relatively small transactions. Too bad this setting is not listed in the configuration wizard, and it always overwritten when using the wizard. You need to change this setting manually in the file <code>my.ini</code>, and then restart the service. The memory usage number is incorrect, because only the memory usage of the JDBC driver is measured. 
performance_1252_h4=Firebird
performance_1253_p=\ Firebird 1.5 (default installation) was tested, but the results are not published currently. It is possible to run the performance test with the Firebird database, and any information on how to configure Firebird for higher performance are welcome. 
performance_1254_h4=Why Oracle / MS SQL Server / DB2 are Not Listed
performance_1255_p=\ The license of these databases does not allow to publish benchmark results. This doesn't mean that they are fast. They are in fact quite slow, and need a lot of memory. But you will need to test this yourself. SQLite was not tested because the JDBC driver doesn't support transactions. 
performance_1256_h3=About this Benchmark
performance_1257_h4=How to Run
performance_1258_p=\ This test was executed as follows\: 
performance_1259_h4=Separate Process per Database
performance_1260_p=\ For each database, a new process is started, to ensure the previous test does not impact the current test. 
performance_1261_h4=Number of Connections
performance_1262_p=\ This is mostly a single-connection benchmark. BenchB uses multiple connections; the other tests use one connection. 
performance_1263_h4=Real-World Tests
performance_1264_p=\ Good benchmarks emulate real-world use cases. This benchmark includes 4 test cases\: BenchSimple uses one table and many small updates / deletes. BenchA is similar to the TPC-A test, but single connection / single threaded (see also\: www.tpc.org). BenchB is similar to the TPC-B test, using multiple connections (one thread per connection). BenchC is similar to the TPC-C test, but single connection / single threaded. 
performance_1265_h4=Comparing Embedded with Server Databases
performance_1266_p=\ This is mainly a benchmark for embedded databases (where the application runs in the same virtual machine as the database engine). However MySQL and PostgreSQL are not Java databases and cannot be embedded into a Java application. For the Java databases, both embedded and server modes are tested. 
performance_1267_h4=Test Platform
performance_1268_p=\ This test is run on Windows XP with the virus scanner switched off. The VM used is Sun JDK 1.5. 
performance_1269_h4=Multiple Runs
performance_1270_p=\ When a Java benchmark is run first, the code is not fully compiled and therefore runs slower than when running multiple times. A benchmark should always run the same test multiple times and ignore the first run(s). This benchmark runs three times, but only the last run is measured. 
performance_1271_h4=Memory Usage
performance_1272_p=\ It is not enough to measure the time taken, the memory usage is important as well. Performance can be improved by using a bigger cache, but the amount of memory is limited. HSQLDB tables are kept fully in memory by default; this benchmark uses 'disk based' tables for all databases. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to calculate the memory usage of PostgreSQL and MySQL, because they run in a different process than the test. This benchmark currently does not print memory usage of those databases. 
performance_1273_h4=Delayed Operations
performance_1274_p=\ Some databases delay some operations (for example flushing the buffers) until after the benchmark is run. This benchmark waits between each database tested, and each database runs in a different process (sequentially). 
performance_1275_h4=Transaction Commit / Durability
performance_1276_p=\ Durability means transaction committed to the database will not be lost. Some databases (for example MySQL) try to enforce this by default by calling <code>fsync()</code> to flush the buffers, but most hard drives don't actually flush all data. Calling the method slows down transaction commit a lot, but doesn't always make data durable. When comparing the results, it is important to think about the effect. Many database suggest to 'batch' operations when possible. This benchmark switches off autocommit when loading the data, and calls commit after each 1000 inserts. However many applications need 'short' transactions at runtime (a commit after each update). This benchmark commits after each update / delete in the simple benchmark, and after each business transaction in the other benchmarks. For databases that support delayed commits, a delay of one second is used. 
performance_1277_h4=Using Prepared Statements
performance_1278_p=\ Wherever possible, the test cases use prepared statements. 
performance_1279_h4=Currently Not Tested\: Startup Time
performance_1280_p=\ The startup time of a database engine is important as well for embedded use. This time is not measured currently. Also, not tested is the time used to create a database and open an existing database. Here, one (wrapper) connection is opened at the start, and for each step a new connection is opened and then closed. 
performance_1281_h2=PolePosition Benchmark
performance_1282_p=\ The PolePosition is an open source benchmark. The algorithms are all quite simple. It was developed / sponsored by db4o.

performance_1388_p=\ There are a few problems with the PolePosition test\: 
performance_1389_li=\ HSQLDB uses in-memory tables by default while H2 uses persistent tables. The HSQLDB version included in PolePosition does not support changing this, so you need to replace <code>poleposition-0.20/lib/hsqldb.jar</code> with a newer version (for example <code>hsqldb-1.8.0.7.jar</code>), and then use the setting <code>hsqldb.connecturl\=jdbc\:hsqldb\:file\:data/hsqldb/dbbench2;hsqldb.default_table_type\=cached;sql.enforce_size\=true</code> in the file <code>Jdbc.properties</code>. 
performance_1390_li=HSQLDB keeps the database open between tests, while H2 closes the database (losing all the cache). To change that, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:file\:data/h2/dbbench;DB_CLOSE_DELAY\=-1</code> 
performance_1391_li=The amount of cache memory is quite important, specially for the PolePosition test. Unfortunately, the PolePosition test does not take this into account. 
performance_1392_h2=Application Profiling
performance_1393_h3=Analyze First
performance_1394_p=\ Before trying to optimize performance, it is important to understand where the problem is (what part of the application is slow). Blind optimization or optimization based on guesses should be avoided, because usually it is not an efficient strategy. There are various ways to analyze an application. Sometimes two implementations can be compared using <code>System.currentTimeMillis()</code>. But this does not work for complex applications with many modules, and for memory problems.

performance_1395_p=\ A simple way to profile an application is to use the built-in profiling tool of java. Example\: 
performance_1396_p=\ Unfortunately, it is only possible to profile the application from start to end. Another solution is to create a number of full thread dumps. To do that, first run <code>jps -l</code> to get the process id, and then run <code>jstack &lt;pid&gt;</code> or <code>kill -QUIT &lt;pid&gt;</code> (Linux) or press Ctrl+C (Windows). 
performance_1397_p=\ A simple profiling tool is included in H2. To use it, the application needs to be changed slightly. Example\: 
2646 2647 2648 2649 2650 2651 2652 2653 2654 2655 2656 2657 2658 2659 2660 2661 2662 2663 2664 2665 2666 2667 2668 2669 2670 2671 2672 2673 2674 2675 2676 2677 2678 2679 2680 2681 2682 2683 2684 2685 2686 2687 2688 2689 2690 2691 2692 2693 2694 2695 2696 2697 2698 2699 2700 2701 2702
performance_1398_h2=Database Profiling
performance_1399_p=\ The <code>ConvertTraceFile</code> tool generates SQL statement statistics at the end of the SQL script file. The format used is similar to the profiling data generated when using <code>java -Xrunhprof</code>. As an example, execute the the following script using the H2 Console\: 
performance_1400_p=\ Now convert the <code>.trace.db</code> file using the <code>ConvertTraceFile</code> tool\: 
performance_1401_p=\ The generated file <code>test.sql</code> will contain the SQL statements as well as the following profiling data (results vary)\: 
performance_1402_h2=Database Performance Tuning
performance_1403_h3=Keep Connections Open or Use a Connection Pool
performance_1404_p=\ If your application opens and closes connections a lot (for example, for each request), you should consider using a <a href\="tutorial.html\#connection_pool">connection pool</a>. Opening a connection using <code>DriverManager.getConnection</code> is specially slow if the database is closed. By default the database is closed if the last connection is closed. 
performance_1405_p=\ If you open and close connections a lot but don't want to use a connection pool, consider keeping a 'sentinel' connection open for as long as the application runs, or use delayed database closing. See also <a href\="features.html\#closing_a_database">Closing a database</a>. 
performance_1406_h3=Use a Modern JVM
performance_1407_p=\ Newer JVMs are faster. Upgrading to the latest version of your JVM can provide a "free" boost to performance. Switching from the default Client JVM to the Server JVM using the <code>-server</code> command-line option improves performance at the cost of a slight increase in start-up time. 
performance_1408_h3=Virus Scanners
performance_1409_p=\ Some virus scanners scan files every time they are accessed. It is very important for performance that database files are not scanned for viruses. The database engine never interprets the data stored in the files as programs, that means even if somebody would store a virus in a database file, this would be harmless (when the virus does not run, it cannot spread). Some virus scanners allow to exclude files by suffix. Ensure files ending with <code>.db</code> are not scanned. 
performance_1410_h3=Using the Trace Options
performance_1411_p=\ If the performance hot spots are in the database engine, in many cases the performance can be optimized by creating additional indexes, or changing the schema. Sometimes the application does not directly generate the SQL statements, for example if an O/R mapping tool is used. To view the SQL statements and JDBC API calls, you can use the trace options. For more information, see <a href\="features.html\#trace_options">Using the Trace Options</a>. 
performance_1412_h3=Index Usage
performance_1413_p=\ This database uses indexes to improve the performance of <code>SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE</code>. If a column is used in the <code>WHERE</code> clause of a query, and if an index exists on this column, then the index can be used. Multi-column indexes are used if all or the first columns of the index are used. Both equality lookup and range scans are supported. Indexes are used to order result sets, but only if the condition uses the same index or no index at all. The results are sorted in memory if required. Indexes are created automatically for primary key and unique constraints. Indexes are also created for foreign key constraints, if required. For other columns, indexes need to be created manually using the <code>CREATE INDEX</code> statement. 
performance_1414_h3=Optimizer
performance_1415_p=\ This database uses a cost based optimizer. For simple and queries and queries with medium complexity (less than 7 tables in the join), the expected cost (running time) of all possible plans is calculated, and the plan with the lowest cost is used. For more complex queries, the algorithm first tries all possible combinations for the first few tables, and the remaining tables added using a greedy algorithm (this works well for most joins). Afterwards a genetic algorithm is used to test at most 2000 distinct plans. Only left-deep plans are evaluated. 
performance_1416_h3=Expression Optimization
performance_1417_p=\ After the statement is parsed, all expressions are simplified automatically if possible. Operations are evaluated only once if all parameters are constant. Functions are also optimized, but only if the function is constant (always returns the same result for the same parameter values). If the <code>WHERE</code> clause is always false, then the table is not accessed at all. 
performance_1418_h3=COUNT(*) Optimization
performance_1419_p=\ If the query only counts all rows of a table, then the data is not accessed. However, this is only possible if no <code>WHERE</code> clause is used, that means it only works for queries of the form <code>SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table</code>. 
performance_1420_h3=Updating Optimizer Statistics / Column Selectivity
performance_1421_p=\ When executing a query, at most one index per joined table can be used. If the same table is joined multiple times, for each join only one index is used. Example\: for the query <code>SELECT * FROM TEST T1, TEST T2 WHERE T1.NAME\='A' AND T2.ID\=T1.ID</code>, two index can be used, in this case the index on NAME for T1 and the index on ID for T2. 
performance_1422_p=\ If a table has multiple indexes, sometimes more than one index could be used. Example\: if there is a table <code>TEST(ID, NAME, FIRSTNAME)</code> and an index on each column, then two indexes could be used for the query <code>SELECT * FROM TEST WHERE NAME\='A' AND FIRSTNAME\='B'</code>, the index on NAME or the index on FIRSTNAME. It is not possible to use both indexes at the same time. Which index is used depends on the selectivity of the column. The selectivity describes the 'uniqueness' of values in a column. A selectivity of 100 means each value appears only once, and a selectivity of 1 means the same value appears in many or most rows. For the query above, the index on NAME should be used if the table contains more distinct names than first names. 
performance_1423_p=\ The SQL statement <code>ANALYZE</code> can be used to automatically estimate the selectivity of the columns in the tables. This command should be run from time to time to improve the query plans generated by the optimizer. 
performance_1424_h3=In-Memory (Hash) Indexes
performance_1425_p=\ Using in-memory indexes, specially in-memory hash indexes, can speed up queries and data manipulation. 
performance_1426_p=In-memory indexes are automatically used for in-memory databases, but can also be created for persistent databases using <code>CREATE MEMORY TABLE</code>. In many cases, the rows itself will also be kept in-memory. Please note this may cause memory problems for large tables. 
performance_1427_p=\ In-memory hash indexes are backed by a hash table and are usually faster than regular indexes. However, hash indexes only supports direct lookup (<code>WHERE ID \= ?</code>) but not range scan (<code>WHERE ID &lt; ?</code>). To use hash indexes, use HASH as in\: <code>CREATE UNIQUE HASH INDEX</code> and <code>CREATE TABLE ...(ID INT PRIMARY KEY HASH,...)</code>. 
performance_1428_h3=Optimization Examples
performance_1429_p=\ See <code>src/test/org/h2/samples/optimizations.sql</code> for a few examples of queries that benefit from special optimizations built into the database. 
performance_1430_h3=Cache Size and Type
performance_1431_p=\ By default the cache size of H2 is quite small. Consider using a larger cache size, or enable the second level soft reference cache. See also <a href\="features.html\#cache_settings">Cache Settings</a>. 
performance_1432_h3=Data Types
performance_1433_p=\ Each data type has different storage and performance characteristics\: 
performance_1434_li=The <code>DECIMAL/NUMERIC</code> type is slower and requires more storage than the <code>REAL</code> and <code>DOUBLE</code> types. 
performance_1435_li=Text types are slower to read, write, and compare than numeric types and generally require more storage. 
performance_1436_li=See <a href\="advanced.html\#large_objects">Large Objects</a> for information on <code>BINARY</code> vs. <code>BLOB</code> and <code>VARCHAR</code> vs. <code>CLOB</code> performance. 
performance_1437_li=Parsing and formatting takes longer for the <code>TIME</code>, <code>DATE</code>, and <code>TIMESTAMP</code> types than the numeric types. 
performance_1438_code=SMALLINT/TINYINT/BOOLEAN
performance_1439_li=\ are not significantly smaller or faster to work with than <code>INTEGER</code> in most modes. 
performance_1440_h3=Sorted Insert Optimization
performance_1441_p=\ To reduce disk space usage and speed up table creation, an optimization for sorted inserts is available. When used, b-tree pages are split at the insertion point. To use this optimization, add <code>SORTED</code> before the <code>SELECT</code> statement\: 
performance_1442_h2=Using the Built-In Profiler
performance_1443_p=\ A very simple Java profiler is built-in. To use it, use the following template\: 
performance_1444_h2=Fast Database Import
performance_1445_p=\ To speed up large imports, consider using the following options temporarily\: 
performance_1446_code=SET CACHE_SIZE
performance_1447_li=\ (a large cache is faster) 
performance_1448_code=SET LOCK_MODE 0
performance_1449_li=\ (disable locking) 
performance_1450_code=SET LOG 0
performance_1451_li=\ (disable the transaction log) 
performance_1452_code=SET UNDO_LOG 0
performance_1453_li=\ (disable the session undo log) 
performance_1454_p=\ These options can be set in the database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;CACHE_SIZE\=65536;LOCK_MODE\=0;LOG\=0;UNDO_LOG\=0</code>. Most of those options are not recommended for regular use, that means you need to reset them after use.

tutorial_1021_h2=Starting and Using the H2 Console
tutorial_1022_p=\ The H2 Console application lets you access a SQL database using a browser interface. This can be a H2 database, or another database that supports the JDBC API. 
tutorial_1023_p=\ This is a client / server application, so both a server and a client (a browser) are required to run it. 
tutorial_1024_p=\ Depending on your platform and environment, there are multiple ways to start the application\: 
tutorial_1025_th=OS
tutorial_1026_th=Start
tutorial_1027_td=Windows
tutorial_1028_td=\ Click [Start], [All Programs], [H2], and [H2 Console (Command Line)]
tutorial_1029_td=\ When using the Sun JDK 1.5, a window with the title 'H2 Console ' should appear. When using the Sun JDK 1.6, an icon will be added to the system tray\: 
tutorial_1030_td=\ If you don't get the window and the system tray icon, then maybe Java is not installed correctly (in this case, try another way to start the application). A browser window should open and point to the Login page at <code>http\://localhost\:8082</code>. 
tutorial_1031_td=Windows
tutorial_1032_td=\ Open a file browser, navigate to <code>h2/bin</code>, and double click on <code>h2.bat</code>.
tutorial_1033_td=\ A console window appears. If there is a problem, you will see an error message in this window. A browser window will open and point to the Login page (URL\: <code>http\://localhost\:8082</code>). 
tutorial_1034_td=Any
tutorial_1035_td=\ Double click on the <code>h2*.jar</code> file. This only works if the <code>.jar</code> suffix is associated with java. 
tutorial_1036_td=Any
tutorial_1037_td=\ Open a console window, navigate to the directory <code>h2/bin</code> and type\: 
tutorial_1038_h3=Firewall
tutorial_1039_p=\ If you start the server, you may get a security warning from the firewall (if you have installed one). If you don't want other computers in the network to access the application on your machine, you can let the firewall block those connections. The connection from the local machine will still work. Only if you want other computers to access the database on this computer, you need allow remote connections in the firewall. 
tutorial_1040_p=\ It has been reported that when using Kaspersky 7.0 with firewall, the H2 Console is very slow when connecting over the IP address. A workaround is to connect using localhost, however this only works on the local machine. 
tutorial_1041_p=\ A small firewall is already built into the server\: other computers may not connect to the server by default. To change this, go to 'Preferences' and select 'Allow connections from other computers'. 
tutorial_1042_h3=Testing Java
tutorial_1043_p=\ To find out which version of Java is installed, open a command prompt and type\: 
tutorial_1044_p=\ If you get an error message, you may need to add the Java binary directory to the path environment variable. 
tutorial_1045_h3=Error Message 'Port may be in use'
tutorial_1046_p=\ You can only start one instance of the H2 Console, otherwise you will get the following error message\: "The Web server could not be started. Possible cause\: another server is already running...". It is possible to start multiple console applications on the same computer (using different ports), but this is usually not required as the console supports multiple concurrent connections. 
tutorial_1047_h3=Using another Port
tutorial_1048_p=\ If the port is in use by another application, you may want to start the H2 Console on a different port. This can be done by changing the port in the file <code>.h2.server.properties</code>. This file is stored in the user directory (for Windows, this is usually in <code>Documents and Settings/&lt;username&gt;</code>). The relevant entry is webPort. 
tutorial_1049_h3=Connecting to the Server using a Browser
tutorial_1050_p=\ If the server started successfully, you can connect to it using a web browser. JavaScript needs to be enabled. If you started the server on the same computer as the browser, open the URL <code>http\://localhost\:8082</code>. If you want to connect to the application from another computer, you need to provide the IP address of the server, for example\: <code>http\://192.168.0.2\:8082</code>. If you enabled SSL on the server side, the URL needs to start with <code>https\://</code>. 
tutorial_1051_h3=Multiple Concurrent Sessions
tutorial_1052_p=\ Multiple concurrent browser sessions are supported. As that the database objects reside on the server, the amount of concurrent work is limited by the memory available to the server application. 
tutorial_1053_h3=Login
tutorial_1054_p=\ At the login page, you need to provide connection information to connect to a database. Set the JDBC driver class of your database, the JDBC URL, user name and password. If you are done, click [Connect]. 
tutorial_1055_p=\ You can save and reuse previously saved settings. The settings are stored in a properties file (see <a href\="\#console_settings">Settings of the H2 Console</a>). 
tutorial_1056_h3=Error Messages
tutorial_1057_p=\ Error messages in are shown in red. You can show/hide the stack trace of the exception by clicking on the message. 
tutorial_1058_h3=Adding Database Drivers
tutorial_1059_p=\ Additional database drivers can be registered by adding the Jar file location of the driver to the environment variables <code>H2DRIVERS</code> or <code>CLASSPATH</code>. Example (Windows)\: to add the database driver library <code>C\:\\Programs\\hsqldb\\lib\\hsqldb.jar</code>, set the environment variable <code>H2DRIVERS</code> to <code>C\:\\Programs\\hsqldb\\lib\\hsqldb.jar</code>. 
tutorial_1060_p=\ Multiple drivers can be set; each entry needs to be separated with a <code>;</code> (Windows) or <code>\:</code> (other operating systems). Spaces in the path names are supported. The settings must not be quoted. 
tutorial_1061_h3=Using the H2 Console
tutorial_1062_p=\ The H2 Console application has three main panels\: the toolbar on top, the tree on the left, and the query / result panel on the right. The database objects (for example, tables) are listed on the left panel. Type in a SQL command on the query panel and click 'Run'. The result of the command appears just below the command. 
tutorial_1063_h3=Inserting Table Names or Column Names
tutorial_1064_p=\ The table name and column names can be inserted in the script by clicking them in the tree. If you click on a table while the query is empty, then <code>SELECT * FROM ...</code> is added as well. While typing a query, the table that was used is automatically expanded in the tree. For example if you type <code>SELECT * FROM TEST T WHERE T.</code> then the table TEST is automatically expanded in the tree. 
tutorial_1065_h3=Disconnecting and Stopping the Application
tutorial_1066_p=\ To log out of the database, click 'Disconnect' in the toolbar panel. However, the server is still running and ready to accept new sessions. 
tutorial_1067_p=\ To stop the server, right click on the system tray icon and select [Exit]. If you don't have the system tray icon, navigate to [Preferences] and click [Shutdown], press [Ctrl]+[C] in the console where the server was started (Windows), or close the console window. 
tutorial_1068_h2=Settings of the H2 Console
tutorial_1069_p=\ The settings of the H2 Console are stored in a configuration file called <code>.h2.server.properties</code> in you user home directory. For Windows installations, the user home directory is usually <code>C\:\\Documents and Settings\\[username]</code>. The configuration file contains the settings of the application and is automatically created when the H2 Console is first started. 
tutorial_1070_h2=Connecting to a Database using JDBC
tutorial_1071_p=\ To connect to a database, a Java application first needs to load the database driver, and then get a connection. A simple way to do that is using the following code\: 
tutorial_1072_p=\ This code first loads the driver (<code>Class.forName(...)</code>) and then opens a connection (using <code>DriverManager.getConnection()</code>). The driver name is <code>"org.h2.Driver"</code>. The database URL always needs to start with <code>jdbc\:h2\:</code> to be recognized by this database. The second parameter in the <code>getConnection()</code> call is the user name (<code>sa</code> for System Administrator in this example). The third parameter is the password. In this database, user names are not case sensitive, but passwords are. 
tutorial_1073_h2=Creating New Databases
tutorial_1074_p=\ By default, if the database specified in the URL does not yet exist, a new (empty) database is created automatically. The user that created the database automatically becomes the administrator of this database. 
tutorial_1075_p=\ Auto-creating new database can be disabled, see <a href\="features.html\#database_only_if_exists">Opening a Database Only if it Already Exists</a>. 
tutorial_1076_h2=Using the Server
tutorial_1077_p=\ H2 currently supports three server\: a web server (for the H2 Console), a TCP server (for client/server connections) and an PG server (for PostgreSQL clients). The servers can be started in different ways, one is using the <code>Server</code> tool. 
tutorial_1078_h3=Starting the Server Tool from Command Line
tutorial_1079_p=\ To start the <code>Server</code> tool from the command line with the default settings, run\: 
tutorial_1080_p=\ This will start the tool with the default options. To get the list of options and default values, run\: 
tutorial_1081_p=\ There are options available to use other ports, and start or not start parts. 
tutorial_1082_h3=Connecting to the TCP Server
tutorial_1083_p=\ To remotely connect to a database using the TCP server, use the following driver and database URL\: 
tutorial_1084_li=JDBC driver class\: <code>org.h2.Driver</code> 
tutorial_1085_li=Database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost/~/test</code> 
tutorial_1086_p=\ For details about the database URL, see also in Features. 
tutorial_1087_h3=Starting the TCP Server within an Application
tutorial_1088_p=\ Servers can also be started and stopped from within an application. Sample code\: 
tutorial_1089_h3=Stopping a TCP Server from Another Process
tutorial_1090_p=\ The TCP server can be stopped from another process. To stop the server from the command line, run\: 
tutorial_1091_p=\ To stop the server from a user application, use the following code\: 
tutorial_1092_p=\ This function will only stop the TCP server. If other server were started in the same process, they will continue to run. To avoid recovery when the databases are opened the next time, all connections to the databases should be closed before calling this method. To stop a remote server, remote connections must be enabled on the server. Shutting down a TCP server can be protected using the option <code>-tcpPassword</code> (the same password must be used to start and stop the TCP server). 
tutorial_1093_h2=Using Hibernate
tutorial_1094_p=\ This database supports Hibernate version 3.1 and newer. You can use the HSQLDB Dialect, or the native H2 Dialect. Unfortunately the H2 Dialect included in Hibernate is buggy. A <a href\="http\://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3401">patch for Hibernate</a> has been submitted. The dialect for the newest version of Hibernate is also available at <code>src/tools/org/hibernate/dialect/H2Dialect.java.txt</code>. You can rename it to <code>H2Dialect.java</code> and include this as a patch in your application. 
tutorial_1095_h2=Using TopLink and Glassfish
tutorial_1096_p=\ To use H2 with Glassfish (or Sun AS), set the Datasource Classname to <code>org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource</code>. You can set this in the GUI at Application Server - Resources - JDBC - Connection Pools, or by editing the file <code>sun-resources.xml</code>\: at element <code>jdbc-connection-pool</code>, set the attribute <code>datasource-classname</code> to <code>org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource</code>. 
tutorial_1097_p=\ The H2 database is compatible with HSQLDB and PostgreSQL. To take advantage of H2 specific features, use the <code>H2Platform</code>. The source code of this platform is included in H2 at <code>src/tools/oracle/toplink/essentials/platform/database/DatabasePlatform.java.txt</code>. You will need to copy this file to your application, and rename it to .java. To enable it, change the following setting in persistence.xml\: 
tutorial_1098_p=\ In old versions of Glassfish, the property name is <code>toplink.platform.class.name</code>. 
tutorial_1099_h2=Using EclipseLink
tutorial_1100_p=\ To use H2 in EclipseLink, use the platform class <code>org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.H2Platform</code>. If this platform is not available in your version of EclipseLink, you can use the OraclePlatform instead in many case. See also <a href\="http\://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Development/Incubator/Extensions/H2Platform">H2Platform</a>. 
tutorial_1101_h2=Using Databases in Web Applications
tutorial_1102_p=\ There are multiple ways to access a database from within web applications. Here are some examples if you use Tomcat or JBoss. 
tutorial_1103_h3=Embedded Mode
tutorial_1104_p=\ The (currently) simplest solution is to use the database in the embedded mode, that means open a connection in your application when it starts (a good solution is using a Servlet Listener, see below), or when a session starts. A database can be accessed from multiple sessions and applications at the same time, as long as they run in the same process. Most Servlet Containers (for example Tomcat) are just using one process, so this is not a problem (unless you run Tomcat in clustered mode). Tomcat uses multiple threads and multiple classloaders. If multiple applications access the same database at the same time, you need to put the database jar in the <code>shared/lib</code> or <code>server/lib</code> directory. It is a good idea to open the database when the web application starts, and close it when the web application stops. If using multiple applications, only one (any) of them needs to do that. In the application, an idea is to use one connection per Session, or even one connection per request (action). Those connections should be closed after use if possible (but it's not that bad if they don't get closed). 
tutorial_1105_h3=Server Mode
tutorial_1106_p=\ The server mode is similar, but it allows you to run the server in another process. 
tutorial_1107_h3=Using a Servlet Listener to Start and Stop a Database
tutorial_1108_p=\ Add the h2*.jar file to your web application, and add the following snippet to your web.xml file (between the <code>context-param</code> and the <code>filter</code> section)\: 
tutorial_1109_p=\ For details on how to access the database, see the file <code>DbStarter.java</code>. By default this tool opens an embedded connection using the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code>, user name <code>sa</code>, and password <code>sa</code>. If you want to use this connection within your servlet, you can access as follows\: 
tutorial_1110_code=DbStarter
tutorial_1111_p=\ can also start the TCP server, however this is disabled by default. To enable it, use the parameter <code>db.tcpServer</code> in the file <code>web.xml</code>. Here is the complete list of options. These options need to be placed between the <code>description</code> tag and the <code>listener</code> / <code>filter</code> tags\: 
tutorial_1112_p=\ When the web application is stopped, the database connection will be closed automatically. If the TCP server is started within the <code>DbStarter</code>, it will also be stopped automatically. 
tutorial_1113_h3=Using the H2 Console Servlet
tutorial_1114_p=\ The H2 Console is a standalone application and includes its own web server, but it can be used as a servlet as well. To do that, include the the <code>h2*.jar</code> file in your application, and add the following configuration to your <code>web.xml</code>\: 
tutorial_1115_p=\ For details, see also <code>src/tools/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>. 
tutorial_1116_p=\ To create a web application with just the H2 Console, run the following command\: 
tutorial_1117_h2=CSV (Comma Separated Values) Support
tutorial_1118_p=\ The CSV file support can be used inside the database using the functions <code>CSVREAD</code> and <code>CSVWRITE</code>, or it can be used outside the database as a standalone tool. 
tutorial_1119_h3=Writing a CSV File from Within a Database
tutorial_1120_p=\ The built-in function <code>CSVWRITE</code> can be used to create a CSV file from a query. Example\: 
tutorial_1121_h3=Reading a CSV File from Within a Database
tutorial_1122_p=\ A CSV file can be read using the function <code>CSVREAD</code>. Example\: 
tutorial_1123_h3=Writing a CSV File from a Java Application
tutorial_1124_p=\ The <code>Csv</code> tool can be used in a Java application even when not using a database at all. Example\: 
tutorial_1125_h3=Reading a CSV File from a Java Application
tutorial_1126_p=\ It is possible to read a CSV file without opening a database. Example\: 
tutorial_1127_h2=Upgrade, Backup, and Restore
tutorial_1128_h3=Database Upgrade
tutorial_1129_p=\ The recommended way to upgrade from one version of the database engine to the next version is to create a backup of the database (in the form of a SQL script) using the old engine, and then execute the SQL script using the new engine. 
tutorial_1130_h3=Backup using the Script Tool
tutorial_1131_p=\ There are different ways to backup a database. For example, it is possible to copy the database files. However, this is not recommended while the database is in use. Also, the database files are not human readable and quite large. The recommended way to backup a database is to create a compressed SQL script file. This can be done using the <code>Script</code> tool\: 
tutorial_1132_p=\ It is also possible to use the SQL command <code>SCRIPT</code> to create the backup of the database. For more information about the options, see the SQL command <code>SCRIPT</code>. The backup can be done remotely, however the file will be created on the server side. The built in FTP server could be used to retrieve the file from the server. 
tutorial_1133_h3=Restore from a Script
tutorial_1134_p=\ To restore a database from a SQL script file, you can use the <code>RunScript</code> tool\: 
tutorial_1135_p=\ For more information about the options, see the SQL command <code>RUNSCRIPT</code>. The restore can be done remotely, however the file needs to be on the server side. The built in FTP server could be used to copy the file to the server. It is also possible to use the SQL command <code>RUNSCRIPT</code> to execute a SQL script. SQL script files may contain references to other script files, in the form of <code>RUNSCRIPT</code> commands. However, when using the server mode, the references script files need to be available on the server side. 
tutorial_1136_h3=Online Backup
tutorial_1137_p=\ The <code>BACKUP</code> SQL statement and the <code>Backup</code> tool both create a zip file with all database files. However, the contents of this file are not human readable. Other than the SCRIPT statement, the <code>BACKUP</code> statement does not lock the database objects, and therefore does not block other users. The resulting backup is transactionally consistent\: 
tutorial_1138_p=\ The <code>Backup</code> tool (<code>org.h2.tools.Backup</code>) can not be used to create a online backup; the database must not be in use while running this program. 
tutorial_1139_p=\ Creating a backup while the database is running is not supported, except if the file systems support creating snapshots. The problem is that it can't be guaranteed that the data is copied in the right order. 
tutorial_1140_h2=Command Line Tools
tutorial_1141_p=\ This database comes with a number of command line tools. To get more information about a tool, start it with the parameter '-?', for example\: 
tutorial_1142_p=\ The command line tools are\: 
tutorial_1143_code=Backup
tutorial_1144_li=\ creates a backup of a database. 
tutorial_1145_code=ChangeFileEncryption

tutorial_1159_code=RunScript
tutorial_1160_li=\ runs a SQL script against a database. 
tutorial_1161_code=Script
tutorial_1162_li=\ allows converting a database to a SQL script for backup or migration. 
tutorial_1163_code=Server
tutorial_1164_li=\ is used in the server mode to start a H2 server. 
tutorial_1165_code=Shell
tutorial_1166_li=\ is a command line database tool. 
tutorial_1167_p=\ The tools can also be called from an application by calling the main or another public method. For details, see the Javadoc documentation. 
tutorial_1168_h2=The Shell Tool
tutorial_1169_p=\ The Shell tool is a simple interactive command line tool. To start it, type\: 
tutorial_1170_p=\ You will be asked for a database URL, JDBC driver, user name, and password. The connection setting can also be set as command line parameters. After connecting, you will get the list of options. The built-in commands don't need to end with a semicolon, but SQL statements are only executed if the line ends with a semicolon <code>;</code>. This allows to enter multi-line statements\: 
tutorial_1171_p=\ By default, results are printed as a table. For results with many column, consider using the list mode\: 
tutorial_1172_h2=Using OpenOffice Base
tutorial_1173_p=\ OpenOffice.org Base supports database access over the JDBC API. To connect to a H2 database using OpenOffice Base, you first need to add the JDBC driver to OpenOffice. The steps to connect to a H2 database are\: 
tutorial_1174_li=Start OpenOffice Writer, go to [Tools], [Options] 
tutorial_1175_li=Make sure you have selected a Java runtime environment in OpenOffice.org / Java 
tutorial_1176_li=Click [Class Path...], [Add Archive...] 
tutorial_1177_li=Select your h2 jar file (location is up to you, could be wherever you choose) 
tutorial_1178_li=Click [OK] (as much as needed), stop OpenOffice (including the Quickstarter) 
tutorial_1179_li=Start OpenOffice Base 
tutorial_1180_li=Connect to an existing database; select [JDBC]; [Next] 
tutorial_1181_li=Example datasource URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code> 
tutorial_1182_li=JDBC driver class\: <code>org.h2.Driver</code> 
tutorial_1183_p=\ Now you can access the database stored in the current users home directory. 
tutorial_1184_p=\ To use H2 in NeoOffice (OpenOffice without X11)\: 
tutorial_1185_li=In NeoOffice, go to [NeoOffice], [Preferences] 
tutorial_1186_li=Look for the page under [NeoOffice], [Java] 
tutorial_1187_li=Click [Class Path], [Add Archive...] 
tutorial_1188_li=Select your h2 jar file (location is up to you, could be wherever you choose) 
tutorial_1189_li=Click [OK] (as much as needed), restart NeoOffice. 
tutorial_1190_p=\ Now, when creating a new database using the "Database Wizard" \: 
tutorial_1191_li=Click [File], [New], [Database]. 
tutorial_1192_li=Select [Connect to existing database] and the select [JDBC]. Click next. 
tutorial_1193_li=Example datasource URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code> 
tutorial_1194_li=JDBC driver class\: <code>org.h2.Driver</code> 
tutorial_1195_p=\ Another solution to use H2 in NeoOffice is\: 
tutorial_1196_li=Package the h2 jar within an extension package 
tutorial_1197_li=Install it as a Java extension in NeoOffice 
tutorial_1198_p=\ This can be done by create it using the NetBeans OpenOffice plugin. See also <a href\="http\://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_development_java">Extensions Development</a>. 
tutorial_1199_h2=Java Web Start / JNLP
tutorial_1200_p=\ When using Java Web Start / JNLP (Java Network Launch Protocol), permissions tags must be set in the .jnlp file, and the application .jar file must be signed. Otherwise, when trying to write to the file system, the following exception will occur\: <code>java.security.AccessControlException</code>\: access denied (<code>java.io.FilePermission ... read</code>). Example permission tags\: 
tutorial_1201_h2=Using a Connection Pool
tutorial_1202_p=\ For H2, opening a connection is fast if the database is already open. Still, using a connection pool improves performance if you open and close connections a lot. A simple connection pool is included in H2. It is based on the <a href\="http\://www.source-code.biz/snippets/java/8.htm">Mini Connection Pool Manager</a> from Christian d'Heureuse. There are other, more complex, open source connection pools available, for example the <a href\="http\://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/">Apache Commons DBCP</a>. For H2, it is about twice as faster to get a connection from the built-in connection pool than to get one using <code>DriverManager.getConnection()</code>.The build-in connection pool is used as follows\: 
tutorial_1203_h2=Fulltext Search
tutorial_1204_p=\ H2 includes two fulltext search implementations. One is using Apache Lucene, and the other (the native implementation) stores the index data in special tables in the database. 
tutorial_1205_h3=Using the Native Fulltext Search
tutorial_1206_p=\ To initialize, call\: 
tutorial_1207_p=\ You need to initialize it in each database where you want to use it. Afterwards, you can create a fulltext index for a table using\: 
tutorial_1208_p=\ PUBLIC is the schema name, TEST is the table name. The list of column names (column separated) is optional, in this case all columns are indexed. The index is updated in realtime. To search the index, use the following query\: 
tutorial_1209_p=\ This will produce a result set that contains the query needed to retrieve the data\: 
tutorial_1210_p=\ To get the raw data, use <code>FT_SEARCH_DATA('Hello', 0, 0);</code>. The result contains the columns <code>SCHEMA</code> (the schema name), <code>TABLE</code> (the table name), <code>COLUMNS</code> (an array of column names), and <code>KEYS</code> (an array of objects). To join a table, use a join as in\: <code>SELECT T.* FROM FT_SEARCH_DATA('Hello', 0, 0) FT, TEST T WHERE FT.TABLE\='TEST' AND T.ID\=FT.KEYS[0];</code> 
tutorial_1211_p=\ You can also call the index from within a Java application\: 
tutorial_1212_h3=Using the Lucene Fulltext Search
tutorial_1213_p=\ To use the Lucene full text search, you need the Lucene library in the classpath. How to do that depends on the application; if you use the H2 Console, you can add the Lucene jar file to the environment variables <code>H2DRIVERS</code> or <code>CLASSPATH</code>. To initialize the Lucene fulltext search in a database, call\: 
tutorial_1214_p=\ You need to initialize it in each database where you want to use it. Afterwards, you can create a full text index for a table using\: 
tutorial_1215_p=\ PUBLIC is the schema name, TEST is the table name. The list of column names (column separated) is optional, in this case all columns are indexed. The index is updated in realtime. To search the index, use the following query\: 
tutorial_1216_p=\ This will produce a result set that contains the query needed to retrieve the data\: 
tutorial_1217_p=\ To get the raw data, use <code>FTL_SEARCH_DATA('Hello', 0, 0);</code>. The result contains the columns <code>SCHEMA</code> (the schema name), <code>TABLE</code> (the table name), <code>COLUMNS</code> (an array of column names), and <code>KEYS</code> (an array of objects). To join a table, use a join as in\: <code>SELECT T.* FROM FTL_SEARCH_DATA('Hello', 0, 0) FT, TEST T WHERE FT.TABLE\='TEST' AND T.ID\=FT.KEYS[0];</code> 
tutorial_1218_p=\ You can also call the index from within a Java application\: 
tutorial_1219_h2=User-Defined Variables
tutorial_1220_p=\ This database supports user-defined variables. Variables start with <code>@</code> and can be used wherever expressions or parameters are allowed. Variables are not persisted and session scoped, that means only visible from within the session in which they are defined. A value is usually assigned using the SET command\: 
tutorial_1221_p=\ The value can also be changed using the SET() method. This is useful in queries\: 
tutorial_1222_p=\ Variables that are not set evaluate to <code>NULL</code>. The data type of a user-defined variable is the data type of the value assigned to it, that means it is not necessary (or possible) to declare variable names before using them. There are no restrictions on the assigned values; large objects (LOBs) are supported as well. 
tutorial_1223_h2=Date and Time
tutorial_1224_p=\ Date, time and timestamp values support ISO 8601 formatting, including time zone\: 
tutorial_1225_p=\ If the time zone is not set, the value is parsed using the current time zone setting of the system. Date and time information is stored in H2 database files in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). If the database is opened using another system time zone, the date and time will change accordingly. If you want to move a database from one time zone to the other and don't want this to happen, you need to create a SQL script file using the <code>SCRIPT</code> command or <code>Script</code> tool, and then load the database using the <code>RUNSCRIPT</code> command or the <code>RunScript</code> tool in the new time zone. 
tutorial_1226_h2=Using Spring
tutorial_1227_p=\ Use the following configuration to start and stop the H2 TCP server using the Spring Framework\: 
tutorial_1228_p=\ The <code>destroy-method</code> will help prevent exceptions on hot-redeployment or when restarting the server.
