69 70 71 72 73
<li>MVStore CLOB and BLOB: An exception with the message "Block not found" could be thrown
    when using the MVStore storage, when copying LOB objects
    (for example due to "alter table" on a table with a LOB object),
    and then re-opening the database.
</li>
74
<li>Fix for issue #171: Broken QueryStatisticsData duration data when trace level smaller than TraceSystem.INFO
75
</li>

Noel Grandin committed
76 77
<li>Pull request #170: Added SET QUERY_STATISTICS_MAX_ENTRIES
</li>
78 79
<li>Pull request #165: Fix compatibility postgresql function string_agg
</li>
80 81
<li>Pull request #163: improved performance when not using the default timezone.
</li>
82 83
<li>Local temporary tables with many rows did not work correctly due to automatic analyze.
</li>
84 85 86
<li>Server mode: concurrently using the same connection could throw an exception
    "Connection is broken: unexpected status".
</li>
87 88
<li>Performance improvement for metadata queries that join against the COLUMNS metadata table.
</li>
89 90 91 92 93 94 95
<li>An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException was thrown in some cases
    when opening an old version 1.3 database, or an 1.4 database with
    both "mv_store=false" and the system property "h2.storeLocalTime" set to false.
    It mainly showed up with an index on a time, date, or timestamp column.
    The system property "h2.storeLocalTime" is no longer supported
    (MVStore databases always store local time, and PageStore now databases never do).

</li>
<li>Server mode: BLOB processing for binaries larger than 2 GB did not work.
</li>
104 105 106
<li>Multi-threaded processing: concurrent deleting the same row could throw the exception
    "Row not found when trying to delete".
</li>
107 108 109
<li>MVStore transactions: a thread could see a change of a different thread
    within a different map. Pull request #153.
</li>
110 111
<li>H2 Console: improved IBM DB2 compatibility.
</li>
112 113 114

115 116
</li>
<li>Performance improvement for metadata queries that join against the COLUMNS metadata table.
117
</li>
118 119

<li>Fix for #134, Column name with a # character. Patch by bradmesserle.
</li>
125 126 127 128
<li>In version 1.4.186, "order by" was broken in some cases
    due to the change "Make the planner use indexes for sorting when doing a GROUP BY".
    The change was reverted.
</li>
129
<li>Pull request #146: Improved CompareMode.
130
</li>
131 132 133

<li>Pull request #137: SourceCompiler should not throw a syntax error on javac warning.
</li>
137 138 139 140 141
<li>MVStore: out of memory while storing could corrupt the store
    (theoretically, a rollback would be possible, but this case is not yet implemented).
</li>
<li>The compressed in-memory file systems (memLZF:) could not be used in the MVStore.
</li>
142 143 144
<li>The in-memory file systems (memFS: and memLZF:) did not support files larger than 2 GB
    due to an integer overflow.

<li>Pull request #138: Added the simple Oracle function: ORA_HASH (+ tests) #138
</li>

161
</li><li>Pull request #116: Improved concurrency in the trace system.
162
</li><li>Issue 609: the spatial index did not support NULL.
163
</li><li>Granting a schema is now supported.
164

166
</li><li>Foreign key: don't add a single column index if column
167 168
    is leading key of existing index.
</li><li>Pull request #4: Creating and removing temporary tables was getting
169 170 171
    slower and slower over time, because an internal object id was allocated but
    never de-allocated.

181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190
<ul><li>MVStore: concurrent changes to the same row could result in
    the exception "The transaction log might be corrupt for key ...".
    This could only be reproduced with 3 or more threads.
</li><li>Results with CLOB or BLOB data are no longer reused.
</li><li>References to BLOB and CLOB objects now have a timeout.
    The configuration setting is LOB_TIMEOUT (default 5 minutes).
    This should avoid growing the database file if there are many queries that return BLOB or CLOB objects,
    and the database is not closed for a longer time.
</li><li>MVStore: when committing a session that removed LOB values,
    changes were flushed unnecessarily.

    incorrectly when opening a database.
</li><li>MVStore: updates that affected many rows were were slow
    in some cases if there was a secondary index.

197
</li><li>Using "runscript" with autocommit disabled could result

    in a lock timeout on the internal table "SYS".
</li><li>Issue 603: there was a memory leak when using H2 in a web application.

</li><li>When using the MVStore,
    running a SQL script generate by the Recover tool from a PageStore file
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
204
    failed with a strange error message (NullPointerException),
Thomas Mueller's avatar

205
    now a clear error message is shown.
Thomas Mueller's avatar

206
</li><li>Issue 605: with version 1.4.186, opening a database could result in
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
207 208
    an endless loop in LobStorageMap.init.
</li><li>Queries that use the same table alias multiple times now work.
Thomas Mueller's avatar

209
    Before, the select expression list was expanded incorrectly.

Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220
    did not work with a non-default schema.
</li><li>Issue 599: the condition "in(x, y)" could not be used in the select list
    when using "group by".
</li><li>The LIRS cache could grow larger than the allocated memory.
</li><li>A new file system implementation that re-opens the file if it was closed due
    to the application calling Thread.interrupt(). File name prefix "retry:".
    Please note it is strongly recommended to avoid calling Thread.interrupt;
    this is a problem for various libraries, including Apache Lucene.
</li><li>MVStore: use RandomAccessFile file system if the file name starts with "file:".
221
</li><li>Allow DATEADD to take a long value for count when manipulating milliseconds.
222
</li><li>When using MV_STORE=TRUE and the SET CACHE_SIZE setting, the cache size was incorrectly set,
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
223
    so that it was effectively 1024 times smaller than it should be.
224 225
</li><li>Concurrent CREATE TABLE... IF NOT EXISTS in the presence of MULTI_THREAD=TRUE could
    throw an exception.
226
</li><li>Fix bug in MVStore when creating lots of temporary tables, where we could run out of
227
    transaction IDs.
228
</li><li>Add support for PostgreSQL STRING_AGG function. Patch by Fred Aquiles.

<h2>Version 1.4.186 Beta (2015-03-02)</h2>
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
234 235 236 237 238 239
<ul><li>The Servlet API 3.0.1 is now used, instead of 2.4.
</li><li>MVStore: old chunks no longer removed in append-only mode.
</li><li>MVStore: the cache for page references could grow far too big, resulting in out of memory in some cases.
</li><li>MVStore: orphaned lob objects were not correctly removed in some cases,
    making the database grow unnecessarily.
</li><li>MVStore: the maximum cache size was artificially limited to 2 GB
240 241
    (due to an integer overflow).
</li><li>MVStore / TransactionStore: concurrent updates could result in a
242 243
    "Too many open transactions" exception.
</li><li>StringUtils.toUpperEnglish now has a small cache.
244 245
    This should speed up reading from a ResultSet when using the column name.
</li><li>MVStore: up to 65535 open transactions are now supported.
246 247 248
    Previously, the limit was at most 65535 transactions between the oldest open and the
    newest open transaction (which was quite a strange limit).
</li><li>The default limit for in-place LOB objects was changed from 128 to 256 bytes.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
249 250
    This is because each read creates a reference to a LOB, and maintaining the references
    is a big overhead. With the higher limit, less references are needed.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
251
</li><li>Tables without columns didn't work.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
252
    (The use case for such tables is testing.)
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
253
</li><li>The LIRS cache now resizes the table automatically in all cases
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
254 255 256
    and no longer needs the averageMemory configuration.
</li><li>Creating a linked table from an MVStore database to a non-MVStore database
    created a second (non-MVStore) database file.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
257
</li><li>In version 1.4.184, a bug was introduced that broke queries
258 259
    that have both joins and wildcards, for example:
    select * from dual join(select x from dual) on 1=1
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
260
</li><li>Issue 598: parser fails on timestamp "24:00:00.1234" - prevent the creation of out-of-range time values.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
261
</li><li>Allow declaring triggers as source code (like functions). Patch by Sylvain Cuaz.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
262
</li><li>Make the planner use indexes for sorting when doing a GROUP BY where
263
    all of the GROUP BY columns are not mentioned in the select. Patch by Frederico (zepfred).
264
</li><li>PostgreSQL compatibility: generate_series (as an alias for system_range). Patch by litailang.
265
</li><li>Fix missing "column" type in right-hand parameter in ConditionIn. Patch by Arnaud Thimel.

<h2>Version 1.4.185 Beta (2015-01-16)</h2>
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
269 270
<ul><li>In version 1.4.184, "group by" ignored the table name,
    and could pick a select column by mistake.
271 272
    Example: select 0 as x from system_range(1, 2) d group by d.x;
</li><li>New connection setting "REUSE_SPACE" (default: true). If disabled,
273 274 275 276
    all changes are appended to the database file, and existing content is never overwritten.
    This allows to rollback to a previous state of the database by truncating
    the database file.
</li><li>Issue 587: MVStore: concurrent compaction and store operations could result in an IllegalStateException.
277
</li><li>Issue 594: Profiler.copyInThread does not work properly.
278 279
</li><li>Script tool: Now, SCRIPT ... TO is always used (for higher speed and lower disk space usage).
</li><li>Script tool: Fix parsing of BLOCKSIZE parameter, original patch by Ken Jorissen.
280 281
</li><li>Fix bug in PageStore#commit method - when the ignoreBigLog flag was set,
    the logic that cleared the flag could never be reached, resulting in performance degradation.
282
    Reported by Alexander Nesterov.
283
</li><li>Issue 552: Implement BIT_AND and BIT_OR aggregate functions.

<h2>Version 1.4.184 Beta (2014-12-19)</h2>
287 288 289 290
<ul><li>In version 1.3.183, indexes were not used if the table contains
    columns with a default value generated by a sequence.
    This includes tables with identity and auto-increment columns.
    This bug was introduced by supporting "rownum" in views and derived tables.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
291 292
</li><li>MVStore: imported BLOB and CLOB data sometimes disappeared.
    This was caused by a bug in the ObjectDataType comparison.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
293 294
</li><li>Reading from a StreamStore now throws an
    IOException if the underlying data doesn't exist.
295
</li><li>MVStore: if there is an exception while saving, the store is now in all cases immediately closed.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
296 297
</li><li>MVStore: the dump tool could go into an endless loop for some files.
</li><li>MVStore: recovery for a database with many CLOB or BLOB entries is now much faster.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
298
</li><li>Group by with a quoted select column name alias didn't work. Example:
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
299 300
    select 1 "a" from dual group by "a"
</li><li>Auto-server mode: the host name is now stored in the .lock.db file.

<h2>Version 1.4.183 Beta (2014-12-13)</h2>
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
304 305 306 307
<ul><li>MVStore: the default auto-commit buffer size is now about twice as big.
    This should reduce the database file size after inserting a lot of data.
</li><li>The built-in functions "power" and "radians" now always return a double.
</li><li>Using "row_number" or "rownum" in views or derived tables had unexpected results
308
    if the outer query contained constraints for the given view. Example:
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
309
    select b.nr, b.id from (select row_number() over() as nr, a.id as id
310 311
    from (select id from test order by name) as a) as b where b.id = 1
</li><li>MVStore: the Recover tool can now deal with more types of corruption in the file.
312 313
</li><li>MVStore: the TransactionStore now first needs to be initialized before it can be used.
</li><li>Views and derived tables with equality and range conditions on the same columns
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
314 315 316
    did not work properly. example: select x from (select x from (select 1 as x)
    where x &gt; 0 and x &lt; 2) where x = 1
</li><li>The database URL setting PAGE_SIZE setting is now also used for the MVStore.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
317 318 319 320
</li><li>MVStore: the default page split size for persistent stores is now 4096
    (it was 16 KB so far). This should reduce the database file size for most situations
    (in some cases, less than half the size of the previous version).
</li><li>With query literals disabled, auto-analyze of a table with CLOB or BLOB did not work.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
321
</li><li>MVStore: use a mark and sweep GC algorithm instead of reference counting,
322 323
    to ensure used chunks are never overwrite, even if the reference counting
    algorithm does not work properly.

324
</li><li>In the multi-threaded mode, updating the column selectivity ("analyze")

325
    in the background sometimes did not work.

326
</li><li>In the multi-threaded mode, database metadata operations
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335
    did sometimes not work if the schema was changed at the same time
    (for example, if tables were dropped).
</li><li>Some CLOB and BLOB values could no longer be read when
    the original row was removed (even when using the MVCC mode).
</li><li>The MVStoreTool could throw an IllegalArgumentException.
</li><li>Improved performance for some
    date / time / timestamp conversion operations.
    Thanks to Sergey Evdokimov for reporting the problem.
</li><li>H2 Console: the built-in web server did not work properly
336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343
    if an unknown file was requested.
</li><li>MVStore: the jar file is renamed to "h2-mvstore-*.jar" and is
    deployed to Maven separately.
</li><li>MVStore: support for concurrent reads and writes is now enabled by default.
</li><li>Server mode: the transfer buffer size has been changed from 16 KB to 64 KB,
    after it was found that this improves performance on Linux quite a lot.
</li><li>H2 Console and server mode: SSL is now disabled and TLS is used
    to protect against the Poodle SSLv3 vulnerability.
344 345
    The system property to disable secure anonymous connections is now
    "h2.enableAnonymousTLS".
346

</li><li>With the MVStore option, when using multiple threads
    that concurrently create indexes or tables,
    it was relatively easy to get a lock timeout on the "SYS" table.
</li><li>When using the multi-threaded option, the exception
    "Unexpected code path" could be thrown, specially if the option
    "analyze_auto" was set to a low value.
</li><li>In the server mode, when reading from a CLOB or BLOB, if the connection
    was closed, a NullPointerException could be thrown instead of an exception saying
    the connection is closed.
</li><li>DatabaseMetaData.getProcedures and getProcedureColumns
    could throw an exception if a user defined class is not available.
</li><li>Issue 584: the error message for a wrong sequence definition was wrong.

</li><li>CSV tool: the rowSeparator option is no longer supported,
377 378
    as the same can be achieved with the lineSeparator.

<h2>Version 1.4.181 Beta (2014-08-06)</h2>
393 394 395
<ul><li>Improved MySQL compatibility by supporting "use schema".
    Thanks a lot to Karl Pietrzak for the patch!
</li><li>Writing to the trace file is now faster, specially with the debug level.
396
</li><li>The database option "defrag_always=true" did not work with the MVStore.
397
</li><li>The JDBC escape syntax {ts 'value'} did not interpret the value as a timestamp.
398 399
    The same for {d 'value'} (for date) and {t 'value'} (for time).
    Thanks to Lukas Eder for reporting the issue.
400 401 402 403 404
    The following problem was detected after version 1.4.181 was released:
    The change in  JDBC escape processing affects both the parser (which is running on the server)
    and the JDBC API (which is running on the client).
    If you (or a tool you use) use the syntax {t 'time'}, or {ts 'timestamp'}, or {d 'date'},
    then both the client and the server need to be upgraded to version 1.4.181 or later.
405 406
</li><li>File system abstraction: support replacing existing files using move
    (currently not for Windows).
407
</li><li>The statement "shutdown defrag" now compresses the database (with the MVStore).
408 409 410 411 412
    This command can greatly reduce the file size, and is relatively fast,
    but is not incremental.
</li><li>The MVStore now automatically compacts the store in the background if there is no read or write activity,
    which should (after some time; sometimes about one minute) reduce the file size.
    This is still work in progress, feedback is welcome!
413
</li><li>Change default value of PAGE_SIZE from 2048 to 4096 to more closely match most file systems block size
414
    (PageStore only; the MVStore already used 4096).
415
</li><li>Auto-scale MAX_MEMORY_ROWS and CACHE_SIZE settings by the amount of available RAM. Gives a better
416
    out of box experience for people with more powerful machines.
417
</li><li>Handle tabs like 4 spaces in web console, patch by Martin Grajcar.
418
</li><li>Issue 573: Add implementation for Methods "isWrapperFor()" and "unwrap()" in JdbcConnection.java,
419
    patch by BigMichi1.

</li><li>Issue 565: MVStore: concurrently adding LOB objects
443 444 445
    (with MULTI_THREADED option) resulted in a NullPointerException.
</li><li>MVStore: reduced dependencies to other H2 classes.
</li><li>There was a way to prevent a database from being re-opened,
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
446 447
    by creating a column constraint that references a table with a higher id,
    for example with "check" constraints that contains queries.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
448 449 450 451
    This is now detected, and creating the table is prohibited.
    In future versions of H2, most likely creating references to other
    tables will no longer be supported because of such problems.
</li><li>MVStore: descending indexes with "nulls first" did not work as expected
452 453
    (null was ordered last).
</li><li>Large result sets now always create temporary tables instead of temporary files.
454
</li><li>When using the PageStore, opening a database failed in some cases with a NullPointerException
455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464
    if temporary tables were used (explicitly, or implicitly when using large result sets).
</li><li>If a database file in the PageStore file format exists, this file and this mode
    is now used, even if the database URL does not contain "MV_STORE=FALSE".
    If a MVStore file exists, it is used.
</li><li>Databases created with version 1.3.175 and earlier
    that contained foreign keys in combination with multi-column indexes
    could not be opened in some cases.
    This was due to a bugfix in version 1.3.176:
    Referential integrity constraints sometimes used the wrong index.
</li><li>MVStore: the ObjectDataType comparison method was incorrect if one
465
    key was Serializable and the other was of a common class.

Thomas Mueller committed
466
</li><li>Recursive queries with many result rows (more than the setting "max_memory_rows")
467 468 469 470
    did not work correctly.
</li><li>The license has changed to MPL 2.0 + EPL 1.0.
