23 24 25 26 27
<ul><li>MVStore: when committing a session that removed LOB values,
	changes were flushed unnecessarily.
</li><li>Issue 610: possible integer overflow in WriteBuffer.grow().
</li><li>Issue 609: the spatial index did not support NULL (ClassCastException).
</li><li>MVStore: in some cases, CLOB/BLOB data blocks were removed

    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.
</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.
    Apache Tomcat logged an error message: "The web application ... 
    created a ThreadLocal with key of type [org.h2.util.DateTimeUtils$1]".
</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
38 39
    failed with a strange error message (NullPointerException), 
    now a clear error message is shown.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
40
<li><li>Issue 605: with version 1.4.186, opening a database could result in 
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
41 42
    an endless loop in LobStorageMap.init.
</li><li>Queries that use the same table alias multiple times now work.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
43 44 45
    Before, the select expression list was expanded incorrectly. 
    Example: "select * from a as x, b as x".
</li><li>The MySQL compatibility feature "insert ... on duplicate key update"
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54
    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:".
55
</li><li>Allow DATEADD to take a long value for count when manipulating milliseconds.
56 57 58 59
</li><li>When using MV_STORE=TRUE and the SET CACHE_SIZE setting, the cache size was incorrectly set,
    so that it was effectly 1024 times smaller than it should be.
</li><li>Concurrent CREATE TABLE... IF NOT EXISTS in the presence of MULTI_THREAD=TRUE could
    throw an exception.

<h2>Version 1.4.186 Beta (2015-03-02)</h2>
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
63 64 65 66 67 68
<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
69 70
    (due to an integer overflow).
</li><li>MVStore / TransactionStore: concurrent updates could result in a
71 72
    "Too many open transactions" exception.
</li><li>StringUtils.toUpperEnglish now has a small cache.
73 74
    This should speed up reading from a ResultSet when using the column name.
</li><li>MVStore: up to 65535 open transactions are now supported.
75 76 77
    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
78 79
    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
80
</li><li>Tables without columns didn't work.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
81
    (The use case for such tables is testing.)
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
82
</li><li>The LIRS cache now resizes the table automatically in all cases
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
83 84 85
    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
86
</li><li>In version 1.4.184, a bug was introduced that broke queries
87 88
    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
89
</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
90
</li><li>Allow declaring triggers as source code (like functions). Patch by Sylvain Cuaz.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
91
</li><li>Make the planner use indexes for sorting when doing a GROUP BY where
92
    all of the GROUP BY columns are not mentioned in the select. Patch by Frederico (zepfred).
93
</li><li>PostgreSQL compatibility: generate_series (as an alias for system_range). Patch by litailang.
94
</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
98 99
<ul><li>In version 1.4.184, "group by" ignored the table name,
    and could pick a select column by mistake.
100 101
    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,
102 103 104 105
    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.
106
</li><li>Issue 594: Profiler.copyInThread does not work properly.
107 108
</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.
109 110
</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.
111
    Reported by Alexander Nesterov.
112
</li><li>Issue 552: Implement BIT_AND and BIT_OR aggregate functions.

<h2>Version 1.4.184 Beta (2014-12-19)</h2>
116 117 118 119
<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
120 121
</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
122 123
</li><li>Reading from a StreamStore now throws an
    IOException if the underlying data doesn't exist.
124
</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
125 126
</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
127
</li><li>Group by with a quoted select column name alias didn't work. Example:
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
128 129
    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
133 134 135 136
<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
137
    if the outer query contained constraints for the given view. Example:
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
138
    select b.nr, b.id from (select row_number() over() as nr, a.id as id
139 140
    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.
141 142
</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
143 144 145
    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
146 147 148 149
</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
150
</li><li>MVStore: use a mark and sweep GC algorithm instead of reference counting,
151 152
    to ensure used chunks are never overwrite, even if the reference counting
    algorithm does not work properly.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
153
</li><li>In the multi-threaded mode, updating the column selectivity ("analyze")
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
154
    in the background sometimes did not work.

155
</li><li>In the multi-threaded mode, database metadata operations
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164
    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
165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172
    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.
173 174
    The system property to disable secure anonymous connections is now
    "h2.enableAnonymousTLS".
175
    The default certificate is still self-signed, so you need to manually install
176 177 178
    another one if you want to avoid man in the middle attacks.
</li><li>MVStore: the R-tree did not correctly measure the memory usage.
</li><li>MVStore: compacting a store with an R-tree did not always work.
179
</li><li>Issue 581: When running in LOCK_MODE=0,
180 181
        JdbcDatabaseMetaData#supportsTransactionIsolationLevel(TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED)
    should return false
182
</li><li>Fix bug which could generate deadlocks when multiple connections accessed the same table.
183 184
</li><li>Some places in the code were not respecting the value set in the "SET MAX_MEMORY_ROWS x" command
</li><li>Fix bug which could generate a NegativeArraySizeException when performing large (>40M) row union operations
185
</li><li>Fix "USE schema" command for MySQL compatibility, patch by mfulton
186
</li><li>Parse and ignore the ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC MySQL syntax, patch by mfulton

<h2>Version 1.4.182 Beta (2014-10-17)</h2>
190 191 192
<ul><li>MVStore: improved error messages and logging;
    improved behavior if there is an error when serializing objects.
</li><li>OSGi: the MVStore packages are now exported.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204
</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.
205
</li><li>CSV tool: the rowSeparator option is no longer supported,
206 207
    as the same can be achieved with the lineSeparator.
</li><li>Descending indexes on MVStore tables did not work properly.
208
</li><li>Issue 579: Conditions on the "_rowid_" pseudo-column didn't use an index
209 210 211
    when using the MVStore.
</li><li>Fixed documentation that "offset" and "fetch" are also keywords since version 1.4.x.
</li><li>The Long.MIN_VALUE could not be parsed for auto-increment (identity) columns.
212
</li><li>Issue 573: Add implementation for Methods "isWrapperFor()" and "unwrap()" in
213
    other JDBC classes.
214
</li><li>Issue 572: MySQL compatibility for "order by" in update statements.
215 216 217 218
</li><li>The change in  JDBC escape processing in version 1.4.181 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 'data'}",
    then both the client and the server need to be upgraded to version 1.4.181 or later.

<h2>Version 1.4.181 Beta (2014-08-06)</h2>
222 223 224
<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.
225
</li><li>The database option "defrag_always=true" did not work with the MVStore.
226
</li><li>The JDBC escape syntax {ts 'value'} did not interpret the value as a timestamp.
227 228
    The same for {d 'value'} (for date) and {t 'value'} (for time).
    Thanks to Lukas Eder for reporting the issue.
229 230 231 232 233
    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.
234 235
</li><li>File system abstraction: support replacing existing files using move
    (currently not for Windows).
236
</li><li>The statement "shutdown defrag" now compresses the database (with the MVStore).
237 238 239 240 241
    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!
242
</li><li>Change default value of PAGE_SIZE from 2048 to 4096 to more closely match most file systems block size
243
    (PageStore only; the MVStore already used 4096).
244
</li><li>Auto-scale MAX_MEMORY_ROWS and CACHE_SIZE settings by the amount of available RAM. Gives a better
245
    out of box experience for people with more powerful machines.
246
</li><li>Handle tabs like 4 spaces in web console, patch by Martin Grajcar.
247
</li><li>Issue 573: Add implementation for Methods "isWrapperFor()" and "unwrap()" in JdbcConnection.java,
248
    patch by BigMichi1.

<h2>Version 1.4.180 Beta (2014-07-13)</h2>

<ul><li>MVStore: the store is now auto-compacted automatically up to some point,
    to avoid very large file sizes. This area is still work in progress.

</li><li>Sequences of temporary tables (auto-increment or identity columns)

Thomas Mueller committed
255 256 257 258 259 260
    were persisted unnecessarily in the database file, and were not removed
    when re-opening the database.
</li><li>MVStore: an IndexOutOfBoundsException could sometimes
    occur MVMap.openVersion when concurrently accessing the store.
</li><li>The LIRS cache now re-sizes the internal hash map if needed.
</li><li>Optionally persist session history in the H2 console. (patch from Martin Grajcar)

<h2>Version 1.4.179 Beta (2014-06-23)</h2>
270 271
<ul><li>The license was changed to MPL 2.0 (from 1.0) and EPL 1.0.
</li><li>Issue 565: MVStore: concurrently adding LOB objects
272 273 274
    (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
275 276
    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
277 278 279 280
    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
281 282
    (null was ordered last).
</li><li>Large result sets now always create temporary tables instead of temporary files.
283
</li><li>When using the PageStore, opening a database failed in some cases with a NullPointerException
284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293
    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
294
    key was Serializable and the other was of a common class.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
295
</li><li>Recursive queries with many result rows (more than the setting "max_memory_rows")
296 297 298 299
    did not work correctly.
</li><li>The license has changed to MPL 2.0 + EPL 1.0.
</li><li>MVStore: temporary tables from result sets could survive re-opening a database,
    which could result in a ClassCastException.

<h2>Version 1.4.178 Beta (2014-05-02)</h2>
320 321
<ul><li>Issue 559: Make dependency on org.osgi.service.jdbc optional.
</li><li>Improve error message when the user specifies an unsupported combination of database settings.
322
</li><li>MVStore: in the multi-threaded mode, NullPointerException and other exceptions could occur.
323
</li><li>MVStore: some database file could not be compacted due to a bug in
324 325
    the bookkeeping of the fill rate. Also, database file were compacted quite slowly.
    This has been improved; but more changes in this area are expected.
326
</li><li>MVStore: support for volatile maps (that don't store changes).
327
</li><li>MVStore mode: in-memory databases now also use the MVStore.
328
</li><li>In server mode, appending ";autocommit=false" to the database URL was working,
329
    but the return value of Connection.getAutoCommit() was wrong.
330
</li><li>Issue 561: OSGi: the import package declaration of org.h2 excluded version 1.4.
331 332
</li><li>Issue 558: with the MVStore, a NullPointerException could occur when using LOBs
    at session commit (LobStorageMap.removeLob).
333 334
</li><li>Remove the "h2.MAX_MEMORY_ROWS_DISTINCT" system property to reduce confusion.
    We already have the MAX_MEMORY_ROWS setting which does a very similar thing, and is better documented.
335
</li><li>Issue 554: Web Console in an IFrame was not fully supported.
336 337

<ul><li>By default, the MV_STORE option is enabled, so it is using the new MVStore

    storage. The MVCC setting is by default set to the same values as the MV_STORE setting,
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
341
    so it is also enabled by default. For testing, both settings can be disabled by appending
342
    ";MV_STORE=FALSE" and/or ";MVCC=FALSE" to the database URL.

</li><li>The file locking method 'serialized' is no longer supported.
    This mode might return in a future version,

    however this is not clear right now.
    A new implementation and new tests would be needed.
</li><li>Enable the new storage format for dates (system property "h2.storeLocalTime").
348 349 350 351 352
    For the MVStore mode, this is always enabled, but with version 1.4
    this is even enabled in the PageStore mode.
</li><li>Implicit relative paths are disabled (system property "h2.implicitRelativePath"),
    so that the database URL jdbc:h2:test now needs to be written as jdbc:h2:./test.
</li><li>"select ... fetch first 1 row only" is supported with the regular mode.
353
    This was disabled so far because "fetch" and "offset" are now keywords.
354 355 356
    See also Mode.supportOffsetFetch.
</li><li>Byte arrays are now sorted in unsigned mode
    (x'99' is larger than x'09').

    (System property "h2.sortBinaryUnsigned", Mode.binaryUnsigned, setting "binary_collation").
358 359 360 361 362
</li><li>Csv.getInstance will be removed in future versions of 1.4.
    Use the public constructor instead.
</li><li>Remove support for the limited old-style outer join syntax using "(+)".
    Use "outer join" instead.
    System property "h2.oldStyleOuterJoin".
363
</li><li>Support the data type "DATETIME2" as an alias for "DATETIME", for MS SQL Server compatibility.
364
</li><li>Add Oracle-compatible TRANSLATE function, patch by Eric Chatellier.

<ul><li>The file locking method 'serialized' is no longer documented,
    as it will not be available in version 1.4.
</li><li>The static method Csv.getInstance() was removed.
    Use the public constructor instead.
</li><li>The default user name for the Script, RunScript, Shell,
373 374
    and CreateCluster tools are no longer "sa" but an empty string.
</li><li>The stack trace of the exception "The object is already closed" is no longer logged by default.
375
</li><li>If a value of a result set was itself a result set, the result
376 377
    could only be read once.
</li><li>Column constraints are also visible in views (patch from Nicolas Fortin for H2GIS).
378
</li><li>Granting a additional right to a role that already had a right for that table was not working.
379
</li><li>Spatial index: a few bugs have been fixed (using spatial constraints in views,
380
    transferring geometry objects over TCP/IP, the returned geometry object is copied when needed).
381
</li><li>Issue 551: the datatype documentation was incorrect (found by Bernd Eckenfels).
382
</li><li>Issue 368: ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE did not work for multi-row inserts.
383 384
    Test case from Angus Macdonald.
</li><li>OSGi: the package javax.tools is now imported (as an optional).
385

388
</li><li>There is a new Aggregate API that supports the internal H2 data types
389 390
    (GEOMETRY for example). Thanks a lot to Nicolas Fortin for the patch!
</li><li>Referential integrity constraints sometimes used the wrong index,
391 392 393
    such that updating a row in the referenced table incorrectly failed with
    a constraint violation.
</li><li>The Polish translation was completed and corrected by Wojtek Jurczyk. Thanks a lot!
394
</li><li>Issue 545: Unnecessary duplicate code was removed.
395
</li><li>The profiler tool can now process files with full thread dumps.
396
</li><li>MVStore: the file format was changed slightly.
397
</li><li>MVStore mode: the CLOB and BLOB storage was re-implemented and is
398
    now much faster than with the PageStore (which is still the default storage).
399 400 401 402
</li><li>MVStore mode: creating indexes is now much faster
    (in many cases faster than with the default PageStore).
</li><li>Various bugs in the MVStore storage and have been fixed,
    including a bug in the R-tree implementation.
403
    The database could get corrupt if there were transient IO exceptions while storing.
