advanced_1026_h2=Result Sets
advanced_1027_h3=Limiting the Number of Rows
advanced_1028_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 LIMIT in a query (example\: SELECT * FROM TEST LIMIT 100), or by using Statement.setMaxRows(max).
advanced_1029_h3=Large Result Sets and External Sorting
advanced_1030_p=For large result set, the result is buffered to disk. The threshold can be defined using the statement SET MAX_MEMORY_ROWS. If ORDER BY 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_1031_h2=Large Objects
advanced_1032_h3=Storing and Reading Large Objects
advanced_1033_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 PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream. To store a CLOB, use PreparedStatement.setCharacterStream. To read a BLOB, use ResultSet.getBinaryStream, and to read a CLOB, use ResultSet.getCharacterStream. If the client/server mode is used, the BLOB and CLOB data is fully read into memory when accessed. In this case, the size of a BLOB or CLOB is limited by the memory.
advanced_1034_h2=Linked Tables
advanced_1035_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 CREATE LINKED TABLE statement\:
advanced_1036_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_1037_p=To view the statements that are executed against the target table, set the trace level to 3.
advanced_1038_p=There is a restriction when inserting data to this table\: When inserting or updating rows into the table, NULL and values that are not set in the insert statement are both inserted as NULL. This may not have the desired effect if a default value in the target table is other than NULL.
advanced_1039_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 h2.shareLinkedConnections to false.
advanced_1040_p=The CREATE LINKED TABLE statement supports an optional schema name parameter. See the grammar for details.
advanced_1041_h2=Transaction Isolation
advanced_1042_p=This database supports the following transaction isolation levels\:
advanced_1043_b=Read Committed
advanced_1044_li=This is the default level.  Read locks are released immediately.  Higher concurrency is possible when using this level.
advanced_1045_li=To enable, execute the SQL statement    'SET LOCK_MODE 3'
advanced_1046_li=or append ;LOCK_MODE\=3 to the database URL\: jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOCK_MODE\=3
advanced_1047_b=Serializable
advanced_1048_li=To enable, execute the SQL statement    'SET LOCK_MODE 1'
advanced_1049_li=or append ;LOCK_MODE\=1 to the database URL\: jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOCK_MODE\=1
advanced_1050_b=Read Uncommitted
advanced_1051_li=This level means that transaction isolation is disabled.
advanced_1052_li=To enable, execute the SQL statement    'SET LOCK_MODE 0'
advanced_1053_li=or append ;LOCK_MODE\=0 to the database URL\: jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOCK_MODE\=0
advanced_1054_p=When using the isolation level 'serializable', dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantom reads are prohibited.
advanced_1055_b=Dirty Reads
advanced_1056_li=Means a connection can read uncommitted changes made by another connection.
advanced_1057_li=Possible with\: read uncommitted
advanced_1058_b=Non-Repeatable Reads
advanced_1059_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_1060_li=Possible with\: read uncommitted, read committed
advanced_1061_b=Phantom Reads
advanced_1062_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_1063_li=Possible with\: read uncommitted, read committed
advanced_1064_h3=Table Level Locking
advanced_1065_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_1066_h3=Lock Timeout
advanced_1067_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_1068_h2=Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC)
advanced_1069_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 SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. 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, this database fails fast\: a concurrent update exception is thrown.
advanced_1070_p=To use the MVCC feature, append MVCC\=TRUE to the database URL\:
advanced_1071_p=MVCC can not be used at the same time as MULTI_THREADED. The MVCC feature is not fully tested yet.
advanced_1072_h2=Clustering / High Availability
advanced_1073_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_1074_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_1075_p=To initialize the cluster, use the following steps\:
advanced_1076_li=Create a database
advanced_1077_li=Use the CreateCluster tool to copy the database to another location and initialize the clustering.  Afterwards, you have two databases containing the same data.
advanced_1078_li=Start two servers (one for each copy of the database)
advanced_1079_li=You are now ready to connect to the databases with the client application(s)
advanced_1080_h3=Using the CreateCluster Tool
advanced_1081_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_1082_li=Create two directories\: server1 and server2.  Each directory will simulate a directory on a computer.
advanced_1083_li=Start a TCP server pointing to the first directory.  You can do this using the command line\:
advanced_1084_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_1085_li=Use the CreateCluster 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_1086_li=You can now connect to the databases using an application or the H2 Console using the JDBC URL jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost\:9101,localhost\:9102/~/test
advanced_1087_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_1088_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 CreateCluster tool.
advanced_1089_h3=Clustering Algorithm and Limitations
advanced_1090_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\: RANDOM_UUID(), SECURE_RAND(), SESSION_ID(), MEMORY_FREE(), MEMORY_USED(), CSVREAD(), CSVWRITE(), RAND() [when not using a seed]. Those functions should not be used directly in modifying statements (for example INSERT, UPDATE, or MERGE). However, they can be used in read-only statements and the result can then be used for modifying statements.
advanced_1091_h2=Two Phase Commit
advanced_1092_p=The two phase commit protocol is supported. 2-phase-commit works as follows\:
advanced_1093_li=Autocommit needs to be switched off
advanced_1094_li=A transaction is started, for example by inserting a row
advanced_1095_li=The transaction is marked 'prepared' by executing the SQL statement <code>PREPARE COMMIT transactionName</code>
advanced_1096_li=The transaction can now be committed or rolled back
advanced_1097_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_1098_li=When re-connecting to the database, the in-doubt transactions can be listed  with <code>SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.IN_DOUBT</code>
advanced_1099_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_1100_li=The database needs to be closed and re-opened to apply the changes
advanced_1101_h2=Compatibility
advanced_1102_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_1103_h3=Transaction Commit when Autocommit is On
advanced_1104_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_1105_h3=Keywords / Reserved Words
advanced_1106_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_1107_p=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_DATE, CROSS, DISTINCT, EXCEPT, EXISTS, FROM, FOR, FALSE, FULL, GROUP, HAVING, INNER, INTERSECT, IS, JOIN, LIKE, MINUS, NATURAL, NOT, NULL, ON, ORDER, PRIMARY, ROWNUM, SELECT, SYSDATE, SYSTIME, SYSTIMESTAMP, TODAY, TRUE, UNION, WHERE
advanced_1108_p=Certain words of this list are keywords because they are functions that can be used without '()' for compatibility, for example CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
advanced_1109_h2=Standards Compliance
advanced_1110_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_1111_h2=Run as Windows Service
advanced_1112_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 Tanuki Software, Inc. ( <a href\="http\://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org">http\://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org</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 H2/service.
advanced_1113_h3=Install the Service
advanced_1114_p=The service needs to be registered as a Windows Service first. To do that, double click on 1_install_service.bat. If successful, a command prompt window will pop up and disappear immediately. If not, a message will appear.
advanced_1115_h3=Start the Service
advanced_1116_p=You can start the H2 Database Engine Service using the service manager of Windows, or by double clicking on 2_start_service.bat. Please note that the batch file does not print an error message if the service is not installed.
advanced_1117_h3=Connect to the H2 Console
advanced_1118_p=After installing and starting the service, you can connect to the H2 Console application using a browser. Double clicking on 3_start_browser.bat to do that. The default port (8082) is hard coded in the batch file.
advanced_1119_h3=Stop the Service
advanced_1120_p=To stop the service, double click on 4_stop_service.bat. Please note that the batch file does not print an error message if the service is not installed or started.
advanced_1121_h3=Uninstall the Service
advanced_1122_p=To uninstall the service, double click on 5_uninstall_service.bat. If successful, a command prompt window will pop up and disappear immediately. If not, a message will appear.
advanced_1123_h2=ODBC Driver
advanced_1124_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_1125_p=At this time, the PostgreSQL ODBC driver does not work on 64 bit versions of Windows. For more information, see\: <a href\="http\://svr5.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2005-09/msg00127.php">ODBC Driver on Windows 64 bit</a>
advanced_1126_h3=ODBC Installation
advanced_1127_p=First, the ODBC driver must be installed. Any recent PostgreSQL ODBC driver should work, however version 8.2 (psqlodbc-08_02*) 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_1128_h3=Starting the Server
advanced_1129_p=After installing the ODBC driver, start the H2 Server using the command line\:
advanced_1130_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 -baseDir to save databases in another directory, for example the user home directory\:
advanced_1131_p=The PG server can be started and stopped from within a Java application as follows\:
advanced_1132_p=By default, only connections from localhost are allowed. To allow remote connections, use <code>-pgAllowOthers true</code> when starting the server.
advanced_1133_h3=ODBC Configuration
advanced_1134_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_1164_p=Afterwards, you may use this data source.
advanced_1165_h3=PG Protocol Support Limitations
advanced_1166_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_1167_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_1168_h3=Security Considerations
advanced_1169_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_1170_h2=Using H2 in Microsoft .NET
advanced_1171_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_1172_h3=Using the ADO.NET API on .NET
advanced_1173_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_1174_h3=Using the JDBC API on .NET
advanced_1175_li=Install the .NET Framework from <a href\="http\://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</a> .  Mono has not yet been tested.
advanced_1176_li=Install <a href\="http\://www.ikvm.net">IKVM.NET</a> .
advanced_1177_li=Copy the h2.jar file to ikvm/bin
advanced_1178_li=Run the H2 Console using\: <code>ikvm -jar h2.jar</code>
advanced_1179_li=Convert the H2 Console to an .exe file using\: <code>ikvmc -target\:winexe h2.jar</code> .  You may ignore the warnings.
advanced_1180_li=Create a .dll file using (change the version accordingly)\: <code>ikvmc.exe -target\:library -version\:1.0.69.0 h2.jar</code>
advanced_1181_p=If you want your C\# application use H2, you need to add the h2.dll and the IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll to your C\# solution. Here some sample code\:
advanced_1182_h2=ACID
advanced_1183_p=In the database world, ACID stands for\:
advanced_1184_li=Atomicity\: Transactions must be atomic, meaning either all tasks are performed or none.
advanced_1185_li=Consistency\: All operations must comply with the defined constraints.
advanced_1186_li=Isolation\: Transactions must be isolated from each other.
advanced_1187_li=Durability\: Committed transaction will not be lost.
advanced_1188_h3=Atomicity
advanced_1189_p=Transactions in this database are always atomic.
advanced_1190_h3=Consistency
advanced_1191_p=This database is always in a consistent state. Referential integrity rules are always enforced.
advanced_1192_h3=Isolation
advanced_1193_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_1194_h3=Durability
advanced_1195_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_1196_h2=Durability Problems
advanced_1197_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 org.h2.test.poweroff.Test.
advanced_1198_h3=Ways to (Not) Achieve Durability
advanced_1199_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, RandomAccessFile supports the modes "rws" and "rwd"\:
advanced_1200_li=rwd\: Every update to the file's content is written synchronously to the underlying storage device.
advanced_1201_li=rws\: In addition to rwd, every update to the metadata is written synchronously.
advanced_1202_p=This feature is used by Derby. A test (org.h2.test.poweroff.TestWrite) 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_1203_p=Calling fsync flushes the buffers. There are two ways to do that in Java\:
advanced_1204_li=FileDescriptor.sync(). The documentation says that this forces all system buffers to synchronize with the underlying device. Sync is supposed to return after all in-memory modified copies of buffers associated with this FileDescriptor have been written to the physical medium.
advanced_1205_li=FileChannel.force() (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_1206_p=By default, MySQL calls fsync 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 FileDescriptor.sync() or FileChannel.force(), data is not always persisted to the hard drive, because most hard drives do not obey fsync()\: 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, fsync 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_1207_p=Trying to flush hard drive buffers 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_1208_p=In H2, after a power failure, a bit more than one second of committed transactions may be lost. To change the behavior, use SET WRITE_DELAY and CHECKPOINT SYNC. Most other databases support commit delay as well. In the performance comparison, commit delay was used for all databases that support it.
advanced_1209_h3=Running the Durability Test
advanced_1210_p=To test the durability / non-durability of this and other databases, you can use the test application in the package org.h2.test.poweroff. 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_1211_h2=Using the Recover Tool
advanced_1212_p=The recover tool can be used to extract the contents of a data file, even if the database is corrupted. At this time, it does not extract the content of the log file or large objects (CLOB or BLOB). To run the tool, type on the command line\:
advanced_1213_p=For each database in the current directory, a text file will be created. This file contains raw insert statement (for the data) and data definition (DDL) statement to recreate the schema of the database. This file cannot be executed directly, as the raw insert statements don't have the correct table names, so the file needs to be pre-processed manually before executing.
advanced_1214_h2=File Locking Protocols
advanced_1215_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.
advanced_1216_p=In special cases (if the process did not terminate normally, for example because there was a blackout), 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_1217_h3=File Locking Method 'File'
advanced_1218_p=The default method for database file locking is the 'File Method'. The algorithm is\:
advanced_1219_li=When the lock file does not exist, it is created (using the atomic operation File.createNewFile). Then, the process waits a little bit (20ms) and checks the file again. If the file was changed during this time, the operation is aborted. This protects against a race condition when a process deletes the lock file just after one create it, and a third process creates the file again. It does not occur if there are only two writers.
advanced_1220_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_1221_li=If the lock file exists, and it was modified in the 20 ms, the process waits for some time (up to 10 times). 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_1222_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_1223_h3=File Locking Method 'Socket'
advanced_1224_p=There is a second locking mechanism implemented, but disabled by default. The algorithm is\:
advanced_1225_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_1226_li=If the lock file exists, and the lock method is 'file', then the software switches to the 'file' method.
advanced_1227_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 blackout, or abnormal termination of the virtual machine), then the port was released. The new process deletes the lock file and starts again.
advanced_1228_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_1229_h2=Protection against SQL Injection
advanced_1230_h3=What is SQL Injection
advanced_1231_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_1232_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\: ' OR ''\='. In this case the statement becomes\:
advanced_1233_p=Which is always true no matter what the password stored in the database is. For more information about SQL Injection, see Glossary and Links.
advanced_1234_h3=Disabling Literals
advanced_1235_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 PreparedStatement\:
advanced_1236_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_1237_p=Afterwards, SQL statements with text and number literals are not allowed any more. That means, SQL statement of the form WHERE NAME\='abc' or WHERE CustomerId\=10 will fail. It is still possible to use PreparedStatements 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\: SET ALLOW_LITERALS NUMBERS. To allow all literals, execute SET ALLOW_LITERALS ALL (this is the default setting). Literals can only be enabled or disabled by an administrator.
advanced_1238_h3=Using Constants
advanced_1239_p=Disabling literals also means disabling hard-coded 'constant' literals. This database supports defining constants using the CREATE CONSTANT 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_1240_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_1241_h3=Using the ZERO() Function
advanced_1242_p=It is not required to create a constant for the number 0 as there is already a built-in function ZERO()\:
advanced_1243_h2=Restricting Class Loading and Usage
advanced_1244_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 System.setProperty by executing\:
advanced_1245_p=To restrict users (including admins) from loading classes and executing code, the list of allowed classes can be set in the system property h2.allowedClasses in the form of a comma separated list of classes or patterns (items ending with '*'). By default all classes are allowed. Example\:
advanced_1246_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_1247_h2=Security Protocols
advanced_1248_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_1249_h3=User Password Encryption
advanced_1250_p=When a user tries to connect to a database, the combination of user name, @, and password hashed using SHA-256, and this hash value is transmitted to the database. This step does not try to an attacker from re-using 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_1251_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 bit. Using the random salt reduces the risk of an attacker pre-calculating hash values for many different (commonly used) passwords.
advanced_1252_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 calculated 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 remotely, then the iteration count is not required at all.
advanced_1253_h3=File Encryption
advanced_1254_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_1255_p=When a user tries to connect to an encrypted database, the combination of the word 'file', @, and the file password is hashed using SHA-256. This hash value is transmitted to the server.
advanced_1256_p=When a new database file is created, a new cryptographically secure random salt value is generated. The size of the salt is 64 bit. 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_1257_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_1258_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_1259_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_1260_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_1261_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_1262_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_1263_h3=Wrong Password Delay
advanced_1264_p=To protect against remote brute force password attacks, the delay after each unsuccessful login gets double as long. Use the system properties h2.delayWrongPasswordMin and h2.delayWrongPasswordMax 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 (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_1265_h3=HTTPS Connections
advanced_1266_p=The web server supports HTTP and HTTPS connections using SSLServerSocket. There is a default self-certified certificate to support an easy starting point, but custom certificates are supported as well.
advanced_1267_h2=SSL/TLS Connections
advanced_1268_p=Remote SSL/TLS connections are supported using the Java Secure Socket Extension (SSLServerSocket / SSLSocket). By default, anonymous SSL is enabled. The default cipher suite is <code>SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5</code> .
advanced_1269_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_1270_p=To disable anonymous SSL, set the system property <code>h2.enableAnonymousSSL</code> to false.
advanced_1271_h2=Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID)
advanced_1272_p=This database supports the 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 RANDOM_UUID(). Here is a small program to estimate the probability of having two identical UUIDs after generating a number of values\:
advanced_1273_p=Some values are\:
advanced_1274_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_1275_h2=Settings Read from System Properties
advanced_1276_p=Some settings of the database can be set on the command line using -DpropertyName\=value. It is usually not required to change those settings manually. The settings are case sensitive. Example\:
advanced_1277_p=The current value of the settings can be read in the table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS.
advanced_1278_p=For a complete list of settings, see <a href\="../javadoc/org/h2/constant/SysProperties.html">SysProperties</a> .
advanced_1279_h2=Setting the Server Bind Address
advanced_1280_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 h2.bindAddress. This setting is used for both regular server sockets and for SSL server sockets. IPv4 and IPv6 address formats are supported.
advanced_1281_h2=Limitations
advanced_1282_p=This database has the following known limitations\:
advanced_1283_li=The maximum file size is currently 256 GB for the data, and 256 GB for the index. This number is excluding BLOB and CLOB data\: Every CLOB or BLOB can be up to 256 GB as well.
advanced_1284_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, and this database does not provide a workaround for this problem. The suggested solution is to use another file system.
advanced_1285_li=There is a limit on the complexity of SQL statements. Statements of the following form will result in a stack overflow exception\:
advanced_1286_li=There is no limit for the following entities, except the memory and storage capacity\:  maximum identifier length, maximum number of tables, maximum number of columns,  maximum number of indexes, maximum number of parameters,  maximum number of triggers, and maximum number of other database objects.
advanced_1287_li=For limitations on data types, see the documentation of the respective Java data type  or the data type documentation of this database.

changelog_1002_li=The French translation of the H2 Console has been improved by Olivier Parent.  Thanks a lot\!
changelog_1003_li=There was a memory leak when creating and dropping tables and  indexes in a loop (persistent database only).
changelog_1004_li=SET LOG 2 was not effective if executed after opening the database.
changelog_1005_li=Translating the H2 Console is now simpler.

changelog_1007_li=In-memory databases don't write LOBs to files any longer.
changelog_1008_li=Self referencing constraints didn't restrict deleting rows that reference  itself if there is another row that references it.
changelog_1009_li=ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName now returns the alias name except for columns.
changelog_1010_li=Temporary files are now deleted when the database is closed, even  if they were not garbage collected so far.
changelog_1011_h2=Version 1.1.101 (2008-10-17)
changelog_1012_li=Errors with code 42000 - 42999 are no longer written to the trace file by default.
changelog_1013_li=Queries with more than 10 tables are now faster.
changelog_1014_li=Opening a connection with AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE is now fast  when the database is already open in another process (less than 0.01 seconds  instead of 2 seconds).
changelog_1015_li=IF [NOT] EXISTS is supported for named constraints in  ALTER TABLE ... ADD/DROP CONSTRAINT.
changelog_1016_li=The error messages have been translated to Spanish by Dario V. Fassi.  Thanks a lot\!
changelog_1017_li=Linked tables\: the automatic connection sharing didn't work. Actually the  system property h2.shareLinkedConnections was working in the opposite direction\:  it was disabled when set to true. Now it works as expected.
changelog_1018_li=Opening large database is now faster.
changelog_1019_li=New system property h2.socketConnectTimeout, the timeout in milliseconds  to connect to a server. The default is 2000 (2 seconds).
changelog_1020_li=The wrong parameters were bound to subqueries with parameters, specially  when using IN(SELECT ...) and IN(...).
changelog_1021_li=Unset parameters were not detected when the query was re-compiled.
changelog_1022_li=New functions ISO_YEAR, ISO_WEEK, ISO_DAY_OF_WEEK.  Thanks a lot to Robert Rathsack for implementing those\!
changelog_1023_li=The date functions DAYOFYEAR, DAYOFMONTH, DAYOFWEEK are now called  DAY_OF_YEAR, DAY_OF_MONTH, DAY_OF_WEEK (the old names still work).

changelog_1028_li=Fulltext search\: new method FT_DROP_INDEX.
changelog_1029_li=The optimization to group using an index didn't work in some cases in version 1.1  (see also system property h2.optimizeGroupSorted).
changelog_1030_li=OSGi meta data is included in the manifest file.  An OSGi BundleActivator is included\: it loads the database driver when starting the bundle,  and unloads it when stopping the bundle.
changelog_1031_li=The default value for MAX_MEMORY_UNDO is now 50000.
changelog_1032_li=For alias columns, ResultSetMetaData.getTableName() and getColumnName() now   return the real table and column name in the default mode.

changelog_1039_li=The build didn't work if the directory temp didn't exist before.
changelog_1040_li=New system property h2.maxReconnect (default 3) to limit the number of re-connects  for the same SQL statement (this is usually only important for SHUTDOWN).
changelog_1041_li=WHERE .. IN (SELECT ...) could throw a NullPointerException.
changelog_1042_li=Improved Glassfish / Toplink support in H2Platform  thanks to Marcio Borges from Brazil. Thanks a lot\!
changelog_1043_h2=Version 1.1.100 (2008-10-04)
changelog_1044_li=In version 1.1, the following system properties are now enabled by default\:  h2.lobFilesInDirectories, h2.optimizeGroupSorted, h2.optimizeInJoin, h2.shareLinkedConnections
changelog_1045_li=The H2 Console tool now works with the JDBC-ODBC bridge.
changelog_1046_li=The H2 Console tool now supports command line options to start things separately.
changelog_1047_li=Large objects did not work for in-memory databases in server mode in Linux.
changelog_1048_li=Connections from a local address other than 'localhost' were not allowed if remote  connections were disabled. This was always a problem, but only got visible in the last release  because the server no longer connects to 'localhost' if networked.
changelog_1049_li=The h2console.war can now be built using the Java build.
changelog_1050_li=By default, databases are shared in the same process. For read-only databases  this causes unnecessary synchronization, but safes memory. If you want that each connection  opens its own database, append ;OPEN_NEW\=TRUE to the database URL.
changelog_1051_li=New auto-reconnect feature will cause the JDBC driver to reconnect to  the database if the connection is lost. To enable, append ;AUTO_RECONNECT\=TRUE to the database URL.  This is specially helpful when using AUTO_SERVER. AUTO_SERVER automatically uses auto-reconnect.
changelog_1052_li=CreateCluster\: the property 'serverlist' is now called 'serverList'.
changelog_1053_li=The ConvertTraceFile tool could not parse some files because the trace  mechanism did not encode prepared statement parameters.
changelog_1054_li=Databases names can now be one character long  (the minimum size used to be 2 characters).
changelog_1055_h2=Version 1.0.79 (2008-09-26)
changelog_1056_li=Linked tables that point to the same database can now share the connection  within the same database. Access to the same connection is serialized. To enable this feature,  set the system property h2.shareLinkedConnections to true.
changelog_1057_li=Multiple processes can now access the same database without having to explicitly  start the server. To do that, append ;AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE to the database URL.  In this case, the server is started automatically if the connection is in embedded mode,  and the server mode is used if a server is running. If the process that opened the first  connection is closed, the other client need to reconnect (there is no automatic re-connect so far).  Remote connections are allowed, but only to this database.
changelog_1058_li=The server tool now displays the correct IP address if networked.
changelog_1059_li=Can now start a TCP server with port 0 (automatically select a port).
changelog_1060_li=Result sets with just a unique index can now be updated (previously a primary key was required).
changelog_1061_li=LINKED TABLE\: the schema name can now be set. When multiple tables exist in different schema,  and the schema name is not set, an exception is thrown.
changelog_1062_li=LINKED TABLE\: worked around a bug in Oracle with the CHAR data type.
changelog_1063_li=Faster hash code calculation for large binary arrays.
changelog_1064_li=Faster storage re-use algorithm thanks to Greg Dhuse from cleversafe.com.

changelog_1071_li=SET SCHEMA_SEARCH_PATH is now documented.
changelog_1072_li=SET SCHEMA did not work for views.
changelog_1073_li=Row level locking for MVCC is now enabled. The exception  'Concurrent update in table ...' is still thrown, but only after the lock timeout.
changelog_1074_li=The maximum log file size setting was ignored for large databases.
changelog_1075_li=Multi-Version Concurrency (MVCC) may no longer be used when using  the multi-threaded kernel feature (MULTI_THREADED). An exception is thrown  when trying to connect with both settings. Additional synchronization  is required before those features can be used together.
changelog_1076_li=The data type JAVA_OBJECT could not be used in updatable result sets.
changelog_1077_li=The system property h2.optimizeInJoin did not work correctly.
changelog_1078_li=Conditions such as ID\=? AND ID>? were slow.
changelog_1079_h2=Version 1.0.78 (2008-08-28)
changelog_1080_li=The documentation no longer uses a frameset (except the Javadocs).
changelog_1081_li=When using DB_CLOSE_DELAY, sometimes a NullPointerException is thrown when  the database is opened almost at the same time as it is closed automatically.  Thanks a lot to Dmitry Pekar for finding this\!
changelog_1082_li=Java methods with variable number of parameters can now be used (for Java 1.5 or newer).
changelog_1083_li=The Japanese translation has been improved by Masahiro Ikemoto. Thanks a lot\!

changelog_1085_li=The build target 'build jarSmall' now includes the embedded database.
changelog_1086_li=JdbcDataSource now keeps the password in a char array where possible.
changelog_1087_li=ResultSet.absolute did not always work with large result sets.
changelog_1088_li=Column aliases can now be used in GROUP BY and HAVING.
changelog_1089_li=Jason Brittain has contributed MySQL date functions. Thanks a lot\!  They are not in the h2.jar file currently, but in src/tools/org/h2/mode/FunctionsMySQL.java.  To install, add this class to the classpath and call FunctionsMySQL.register(conn) in the Java code.
changelog_1090_h2=Version 1.0.77 (2008-08-16)
changelog_1091_li=JaQu is now using prepared statements and supports Date, Time, Timestamp.
changelog_1092_li=When using remote in-memory databases, large LOB objects did not work.
changelog_1093_li=Timestamp columns such as TIMESTAMP(6) were not compatible to other database.
changelog_1094_li=Opening a large database was slow if there was a problem opening the previous time.
changelog_1095_li=NOT IN(SELECT ...) was incorrect if the subquery returns no rows.

changelog_1100_li=Oracle compatibility\: old style outer join syntax using (+) did work correctly sometimes.
changelog_1101_li=ResultSet.setFetchSize is now supported.
changelog_1102_li=It has been reported that when using Install4j on some Linux systems and enabling the 'pack200' option,  the h2.jar becomes corrupted by the install process, causing application failure.  A workaround is to add an empty file h2.jar.nopack next to the h2.jar file.  The reason for this problem is not known.
changelog_1103_h2=Version 1.0.76 (2008-07-27)
changelog_1104_li=The comment of a domain (user defined data type) is now used as the  default column comment when creating a column with this domain.

changelog_1116_h2=Version 1.0.75 (2008-07-14)
changelog_1117_li=Multi version concurrency (MVCC)\: when a row was updated or deleted, but this change was rolled back,  the row was not visible by other sessions if no index was used to access it. Fixed.
changelog_1118_li=Views with multiple joined tables (where one was an outer join) couldn't be used in some cases. Fixed.
changelog_1119_li=The CSVREAD method did not process NULL correctly when using a whitespace field separator.

changelog_1133_li=The ChangePassword tool is now called ChangeFileEncryption.
changelog_1134_li=It is no longer allowed to create columns with the data type NULL.  Also, it is no longer allowed to convert a column to the data type NULL.  This was possible before but caused data loss.
changelog_1135_li=When using computed columns or default values with a different data type than the column data type,  a class cast exception could occur. Fixed.
changelog_1136_li=Opening databases larger than 1 GB was sometimes very slow if a lot of data was deleted previously. Fixed.

changelog_1176_li=Sometimes an exception 'File ID mismatch' or 'try to add a record twice'  occurred after large records (8 KB or larger) are updated or deleted.  See also http\://code.google.com/p/h2database/issues/detail?id\=22
changelog_1177_li=H2 Console\: The tools can now be translated  (it didn't work in the last release).
changelog_1178_li=New traditional Chinese translation. Thanks a lot to Derek Chao\!

changelog_1180_h2=Version 1.0.70 (2008-04-20)
changelog_1181_li=The plan is to dual-license H2. The additional license is EPL (Eclipse Public License).  The current license (MPL, Mozilla Public License) will stay.  Current users are not affected because they can keep MPL.  EPL is very similar to MPL, the only bigger difference is related to patents  (EPL is a bit more business friendly in this regard).  See also http\://opensource.org/licenses/eclipse-1.0.php,  http\://www.eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php (FAQ),  http\://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p\=131
changelog_1182_li=Multi version concurrency (MVCC)\: when a row was updated,  and the updated column was not indexed, this update was visible sometimes  for other sessions even if it was not committed.
changelog_1183_li=Calling SHUTDOWN on one connection and starting a query on  another connection concurrently could result in a Java level deadlock.
changelog_1184_li=New system property h2.enableAnonymousSSL (default\: true) to enable  anonymous SSL connections.

changelog_1189_li=The code switch tool has been replaced by a simpler tool called  SwitchSource that just uses find and replace.
changelog_1190_li=Started to write a Ant replacement ('JAnt') that uses pure Java  build definitions. Advantages\: ability to debug the build, extensible,  flexible, no XML, a bit faster. Future plan\: support creating custom h2  distributions (for embedded use). Maybe create a new project 'Jant'  or 'Javen' if other people are interested.
changelog_1191_li=The jar file is now about 10% smaller because the variable debugging info  is no longer included. The source file and line number debugging info  is still included. If required, the jar file size of the full version can  be further reduced to about 720 KB using 'build jarSmall' or even  more by removing unneeded components.
changelog_1192_li=Added shell scripts run.sh and build.sh. chmod +x is required,  but otherwise it should work. Feedback or improvements are welcome\!
changelog_1193_li=Databases in zip files\: large queries are now supported. Temp files are created in  the temp directory if required. The documentation how to create  the zip file has been corrected.
changelog_1194_li=Invalid inline views threw confusing SQL exceptions.
changelog_1195_li=The Japanese translation of the error messages and the  H2 Console has been improved. Thanks a lot to Masahiro IKEMOTO.

changelog_1197_li=To protect against remote brute force password attacks,  the delay after each unsuccessful login now gets double as long.  New system properties h2.delayWrongPasswordMin  and h2.delayWrongPasswordMax.
changelog_1198_li=After setting the query timeout and then resetting it, the next query  would still timeout. Fixed.
changelog_1199_li=Adding a IDENTITY column to a table with data threw a lock timeout.
changelog_1200_li=OutOfMemoryError could occur when using EXISTS or IN(SELECT ..).
changelog_1201_li=The built-in connection pool is not called JdbcConnectionPool.  The API and documentation has been changed.
changelog_1202_li=The ConvertTraceFile tool now generates SQL statement statistics  at the end of the SQL script file (similar to the profiling data  generated when using java -Xrunhprof).
changelog_1203_li=Nested joins are now supported (A JOIN B JOIN C ON .. ON ..)
changelog_1204_h2=Version 1.0.69 (2008-03-29)
changelog_1205_li=Most command line tools can now be called from within the H2 Console.
changelog_1206_li=A new Shell tools is now included (org.h2.tools.Shell) to query a  database from the command line.
changelog_1207_li=The command line options in the tools have changed\:  instead of '-log true' now '-trace' is used.  Also, '-ifExists', '-tcpSSL' and '-tcpAllowOthers' and so on have changed\:  now the 'true' is no longer needed.  The old behavior is still supported.
changelog_1208_li=New system property h2.sortNullsHigh to invert the default sorting behavior  for NULL. The default didn't change.
changelog_1209_li=Performance was very slow when using LOG\=2 and deleting or  updating all rows of a table in a loop. Fixed.
changelog_1210_li=ALTER TABLE or CREATE TABLE now support parameters for the password field.
changelog_1211_li=The linear hash has been removed. It was always slower than the b-tree index,  and there were some bugs that would be hard to fix.
changelog_1212_li=TRACE_LEVEL_ settings are no longer persistent. This was a problem  when database initialization code caused a lot of trace output.
changelog_1213_li=Fulltext search (native implementation)\: The words table is no longer  an in-memory table because this caused memory problems in some cases.
changelog_1214_li=It was possible to create a role with the name as an existing user  (but not vice versa). This is not allowed any more.
changelog_1215_li=The recovery tool didn't work correctly for tables without rows.
changelog_1216_li=For years below 1, the YEAR method didn't return the correct value,  and the conversion from date and timestamp to varchar was incorrect.
changelog_1217_li=CSVWRITE caused a NullPointerException when not specifying a nullString.
changelog_1218_li=When a log file switch occurred just after a truncate table or drop table  statement, the database could not be started normally (RECOVER\=1  was required). Fixed.
changelog_1219_li=When a log file switch occurred in the middle of a sequence flush  (sequences are only flushed every 32 values by default), the sequence  value was lost. Fixed.
changelog_1220_li=Altering a sequence didn't unlock the system table  when autocommit switched off.
changelog_1221_h2=Version 1.0.68 (2008-03-18)
changelog_1222_li=Very large SELECT DISTINCT and UNION EXCEPT queries are now supported,  however this feature is disabled by default. To enable it, set  the system property h2.maxMemoryRowsDistinct to a lower value, for example 10000.
changelog_1223_li=A error is now thrown when trying to call a method  inside a trigger that implicitly commits the current transaction,  if an object is locked.

changelog_1225_li=ALTER SEQUENCE and ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN RESTART can now be used inside a transaction.
changelog_1226_li=New system property h2.aliasColumnName. When enabled, aliased columns  (as in SELECT ID AS I FROM TEST) return the real table and column name in  ResultSetMetaData.getTableName() and getColumnName(). This is disabled by  default for compatibility with other databases (HSQLDB, Apache Derby, PostgreSQL,  some version of MySQL). In version 1.1 this setting will be enabled.
changelog_1227_li=When using encrypted databases, and using the wrong file password,  the log file was renamed if the database was not already open. Fixed.

changelog_1232_li=When using multi-version concurrency (MVCC\=TRUE), duplicate rows could appear in the result set when running queries  with uncommitted changes in the same session.
changelog_1233_li=H2 Console\: remote connections were very slow because getHostName/getRemoteHost was used.  Fixed (now using getHostAddress/getRemoteAddr.
changelog_1234_li=H2 Console\: on Linux, Firefox, Konqueror, or Opera (in this order) are now started if available.  This has been tested on Ubuntu.
changelog_1235_li=H2 Console\: the start window works better with IKVM
changelog_1236_li=H2 Console\: improved compatibility with Safari (Safari requires keep-alive)
changelog_1237_li=Random\: the process didn't stop if generating the random seed using the standard  way (SecureRandom.generateSeed) was very slow. Now using a daemon thread  to avoid this problem.

The default cache size is 10000, and can be changed using the system property  h2.collatorCacheSize. Use 0 to disable the cache.
changelog_1244_li=UPDATE SET column\=DEFAULT is now supported.
changelog_1245_h2=Version 1.0.67 (2008-02-22)
changelog_1246_li=New function FILE_READ to read a file or from an URL. Both binary and text data is supported.

changelog_1249_li=A user now has all rights on his own local temporary tables.
changelog_1250_li=The CSV tool now supports a custom lineSeparator.
changelog_1251_li=When using multiple connections, empty space was reused too early sometimes. This could corrupt the database when recovering.
changelog_1252_li=The H2 Console has been translated to Dutch. Thanks a lot to Remco Schoen\!
changelog_1253_li=Databases can now be opened even if trigger classes are not in the classpath. The exception is thrown when trying to fire the trigger.
changelog_1254_li=Opening databases with ACCESS_MODE_DATA\=r is now supported. In this case the database is read-only, but the files don't not need to be read-only.
changelog_1255_li=Security\: The database now waits 200 ms before throwing an exception if the user name or password don't match, to slow down dictionary attacks.
changelog_1256_li=The value cache is now a soft reference cache. This should help save memory.
changelog_1257_li=CREATE INDEX on a table with many rows could run out of memory. Fixed.
changelog_1258_li=Large result sets are now a bit faster.
changelog_1259_li=ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN RESTART and ALTER SEQUENCE now support parameters (any expressions).

changelog_1265_li=In a SQL script, primary key constraints are now ordered before foreign key constraints.
changelog_1266_li=It was not possible to create a referential constraint to a table in a different schema in some situations.
changelog_1267_li=The H2 Console was slow when the database contains many tables. Now the column names are not shown in this case.
changelog_1268_h2=Version 1.0.66 (2008-02-02)
changelog_1269_li=There is a new online error analyzer tool.
changelog_1270_li=H2 Console\: stack traces are now links to the source code in the source repository (H2 database only).
changelog_1271_li=CHAR data type equals comparison was case insensitive instead of case sensitive.
changelog_1272_li=The exception 'Value too long for column' now includes the data.

changelog_1274_li=Better support for IKVM (www.ikvm.net)\: the H2 Console now opens a browser window.
changelog_1275_li=The cache size was not correctly calculated for tables with large objects (specially if compression is used). This could lead to out-of-memory exceptions.
changelog_1276_li=The exception "Hexadecimal string contains non-hex character" was not always thrown when it should have been. Fixed.
changelog_1277_li=The H2 Console now provides a link to the documentation when an error occurs (H2 databases only so far).
changelog_1278_li=The acting as PostgreSQL server, when a base directory was set, and the H2 Console was started as well, the base directory was applied twice.
changelog_1279_li=Calling EXTRACT(HOUR FROM ...) or EXTRACT(HH FROM ...) returned the wrong values (0 to 11 instead of 0 to 23). All other tested databases return values from 0 to 23. Please check if your application relies on the old behavior before upgrading.
changelog_1280_li=For compatibility with other databases the column default (COLUMN_DEF) for columns without default is now null (it was an empty string).
changelog_1281_li=Statements that contain very large subqueries (where the subquery result does not fit in memory) are now faster.
changelog_1282_li=Variables\: large objects (CLOB and BLOB) that don't fit in memory did not work correctly when used as variables.
changelog_1283_li=Fulltext search is now supported in named in-memory databases.

changelog_1285_h2=Version 1.0.65 (2008-01-18)
changelog_1286_li=The build (ant) now automatically switches the source code to the correct version (JDK 1.4/1.5 or 1.6).
changelog_1287_li=A recovery bug has been fixed. With older versions, it was necessary to add ;RECOVER\=1 to the database URL in cases where it should not have been required.
changelog_1288_li=The performance for DROP and DROP ALL OBJECTS has been improved.
changelog_1289_li=The ChangePassword API has been improved.
changelog_1290_li=User defined variables are now supported. Examples\: SET @VAR\=10;CALL @VAR. This can be used for running totals as in\: select x, set(@t, ifnull(@t, 0) + x) from system_range(1, 10)

faq_1013_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_1014_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.
744
faq_1015_li=When using Install4j before 4.1.4 on Linux and enabling 'pack200',  the h2.jar becomes corrupted by the install process, causing application failure.  A workaround is to add an empty file h2.jar.nopack next to the h2.jar file.  This problem is solved in Install4j 4.1.4.

faq_1016_h3=Is this Database Engine Open Source?
faq_1017_p=Yes. It is free to use and distribute, and the source code is included. See also under license.
faq_1018_h3=My Query is Slow
faq_1019_p=Slow SELECT (or DELETE, UPDATE, MERGE) statement can have multiple reasons. Follow this checklist\:
faq_1020_li=Run ANALYSE (see documentation for details).
faq_1021_li=Run the query with EXPLAIN and check if indexes are used (see documentation for details).
faq_1022_li=If required, create additional indexes and try again using ANALYZE and EXPLAIN.
faq_1023_li=If it doesn't help please report the problem.
faq_1024_h3=How to Create a New Database?
faq_1025_p=By default, a new database is automatically created if it does not yet exist.
faq_1026_h3=How to Connect to a Database?
faq_1027_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_1028_h3=Where are the Database Files Stored?
faq_1029_p=When using database URLs like jdbc\:h2\:~/test, the database is stored in the user directory. For Windows, this is usually C\:\\Documents and Settings\\&lt;userName&gt;. If the base directory is not set (as in jdbc\:h2\:test), 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 [Installation Directory]/bin. The base directory can be set in the database URL. A fixed or relative path can be used. When using the URL jdbc\:h2\:file\:data/sample, the database is stored in the directory data (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 (and for Windows, drive) name. Example\: jdbc\:h2\:file\:C\:/data/test
faq_1030_h3=What is the Size Limit (Maximum Size) of a Database?
faq_1031_p=The theoretical limit is currently 256 GB for the data. This number is excluding BLOB and CLOB data\: Every CLOB or BLOB can be up to 256 GB as well. The size limit of the index data is 256 GB as well.
faq_1032_p=The maximum file size for FAT or FAT32 file systems is 4 GB. So if you use FAT or FAT32, the limit is 4 GB for the data.
faq_1033_p=The larger the database, the more main memory is required. Currently the minimum main memory required for a 12 GB database is around 240 MB.
faq_1034_h3=Is it Reliable?
faq_1035_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 as this is a relatively new product, there are probably some problems that have not yet been found (as with most software). Some features are known to be dangerous by design, and some problems are hard to solve. Those are\:
faq_1036_li=Using SET LOG 0 to disable the transaction log file.
faq_1037_li=Using the transaction isolation level READ_UNCOMMITTED (LOCK_MODE 0) while at the same time using multiple  connections may result in inconsistent transactions.
faq_1038_li=Using FILE_LOCK\=NO in the database URL.
faq_1039_p=In addition to that, running out of memory should be avoided. In some versions, OutOfMemory errors while using the database could corrupt a databases. Not all such problems may be fixed.
faq_1040_p=Areas that are not fully tested\:
770 771 772 773 774 775 776 777 778 779 780 781 782 783 784 785 786 787 788 789
faq_1041_li=Platforms other than Windows XP or Linux, or JVMs other than Sun 1.4 - 1.6
faq_1042_li=The features AUTO_SERVER and AUTO_RECONNECT
faq_1043_li=The MVCC (multi version concurrency) mode
faq_1044_li=Cluster mode, 2-phase commit, savepoints
faq_1045_li=24/7 operation
faq_1046_li=Some operations on databases larger than 500 MB may be slower than expected
faq_1047_li=Multi-threading and using multiple connections
faq_1048_li=The optimizer may not always select the best plan
faq_1049_p=Areas considered Experimental\:
faq_1050_li=The PostgreSQL server
faq_1051_li=Compatibility modes for other databases (only some features are implemented)
faq_1052_li=The ARRAY data type and related functionality
faq_1053_h3=Why is Opening my Database Slow?
faq_1054_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 SHUTDOWN. The database is also closed when the virtual machine exits normally by using a shutdown hook. However killing a Java process or calling Runtime.halt will prevent this.
faq_1055_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 'Creating index' lines it is an indication that the database was not closed the last time.
faq_1056_p=Other possible reasons are\: the database is very big (many GB), or contains linked tables that are slow to open.
faq_1057_h3=Is the GCJ Version Stable? Faster?
faq_1058_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.

features_1253_p=*1 HSQLDB supports text tables.
features_1254_p=*2 MySQL supports linked MySQL tables under the name 'federated tables'.
features_1255_p=*3 Derby support for roles based security and password checking as an option.
features_1256_p=*4 Derby only supports global temporary tables.
features_1257_p=*5 The default H2 jar file contains debug information, jar files for other databases do not.
features_1258_p=*6 PostgreSQL supports functional indexes.
features_1259_p=*7 Derby only supports updatable result sets if the query is not sorted.
features_1260_p=*8 Derby and HSQLDB don't support standard compliant information schema tables. *9 H2 supports row level locks when using multi version concurrency.
features_1261_h3=Derby and HSQLDB
features_1262_p=After an unexpected process termination (for example power failure), H2 can recover safely and automatically without any user interaction. For Derby and HSQLDB, some manual steps are required ('Another instance of Derby may have already booted the database' / 'The database is already in use by another process').

features_1267_h2=H2 in Use
features_1268_p=For a list of applications that work with or use H2, see\: <a href\="links.html">Links</a> .
features_1269_h2=Connection Modes
features_1270_p=The following connection modes are supported\:
features_1271_li=Embedded mode (local connections using JDBC)
features_1272_li=Remote mode (remote connections using JDBC or ODBC over TCP/IP)
features_1273_li=Mixed mode (local and remote connections at the same time)
features_1274_h3=Embedded Mode
features_1275_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.
features_1276_h3=Remote Mode
features_1277_p=When using the remote mode (sometimes called server 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 remote 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.
features_1278_h3=Mixed Mode
features_1279_p=The mixed mode is a combination of the embedded and the remote mode. The main application connects to a database in embedded mode, but also starts a server so that other applications (running in different virtual machines) can concurrently access the same data. The embedded connections are as fast as if the database is used in just the embedded mode, while the remote connections are a bit slower.
features_1280_h2=Database URL Overview
features_1281_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.

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 File.createTempFile). To point to the user home directory, use ~/, as in\: jdbc\:h2\:~/test.

features_1345_p=For certain use cases (for example\: rapid prototyping, testing, high performance operations, read-only databases), it may not be required to persist (changes to) the data at all. This database supports the memory-only mode, where the data is not persisted.
features_1346_p=In some cases, only one connection to a memory-only 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_1347_p=Sometimes multiple connections to the same memory-only 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_1348_p=It is also possible to access a memory-only database 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> (using private database remotely is also possible).
features_1349_p=By default, when the last connection to a in-memory database is closed, the contents are lost. This can be disabled by adding ;DB_CLOSE_DELAY\=-1 to the database URL. That means to keep the contents of an in-memory database as long as the virtual machine is alive, use jdbc\:h2\:mem\:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY\=-1
features_1350_h2=Connecting to a Database with File Encryption
features_1351_p=To use file encryption, it is required to specify the encryption algorithm (the 'cipher') and the file password. The algorithm needs to be specified using the connection parameter. Two algorithms are supported\: XTEA and AES. The file password is specified in the password field, before the user password. A single space needs to be added between the file password and the user password; the file password itself may not contain spaces. File passwords (as well as user passwords) are case sensitive. Here is an example to connect to a password-encrypted database\:
features_1352_h2=Database File Locking
features_1353_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_1354_p=The following file locking methods are implemented\:
features_1355_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_1356_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 the one (and always the same) computer.
features_1357_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_1358_p=To open the database with a different file locking method, use the parameter 'FILE_LOCK'. The following code opens the database with the 'socket' locking method\:
features_1359_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_1360_p=For more information about the algorithms please see in Advanced Topics under File Locking Protocol.
features_1361_h2=Opening a Database Only if it Already Exists
features_1362_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 database, and only open the database if it already exists. This can be done by adding <code>;ifexists\=true</code> to the 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\:
features_1363_h2=Closing the Database
features_1364_h3=Delayed Database Closing
features_1365_p=Usually, the 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 leave the connection open. The automatic closing of the database can be delayed or disabled with the SQL statement SET DB_CLOSE_DELAY &lt;seconds&gt;. The seconds specifies the number of seconds to keep a database open after the last connection to it was closed. For example the following statement will keep the database open for 10 seconds\:
features_1366_p=The value -1 means the database is never 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> .
features_1367_h3=Don't Close the Database when the VM Exits
features_1368_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. This is done 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\:
features_1369_h2=Log Index Changes
features_1370_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 LOG\=2 to the URL, as in jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOG\=2 This setting should be specified when connecting. The update performance of the database will be reduced when using this option.
features_1371_h2=Ignore Unknown Settings
features_1372_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 PREFERDOSLIKELINEENDS and IGNOREDRIVERPRIVILEGES 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 ;IGNORE_UNKNOWN_SETTINGS\=TRUE to the database URL.
features_1373_h2=Changing Other Settings when Opening a Connection
features_1374_p=In addition to the settings already described (cipher, file_lock, ifexists, user, password), other database settings can be passed in the database URL. Adding <code>setting\=value</code> at the end of an URL is the same as executing the statement <code>SET setting value</code> just after connecting. For a list of settings supported by this database please see the SQL grammar documentation.
features_1375_h2=Custom File Access Mode
features_1376_p=Usually, the database opens log, data and index files with the access mode 'rw', meaning read-write (except for read only databases, where the mode 'r' is used). To open a database in read-only mode if the files are not read-only, use ACCESS_MODE_DATA\=r. Also supported are 'rws' and 'rwd'. The access mode used for log files is set via ACCESS_MODE_LOG; for data and index files use ACCESS_MODE_DATA. These settings must be specified in the database URL\:
features_1377_p=For more information see <a href\="advanced.html\#durability_problems">Durability Problems</a> . On many operating systems the access mode 'rws' does not guarantee that the data is written to the disk.
features_1378_h2=Multiple Connections
features_1379_h3=Opening Multiple Databases at the Same Time
features_1380_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.
features_1381_h3=Multiple Connections to the Same Database\: Client/Server
features_1382_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).
features_1383_h3=Multithreading Support
features_1384_p=This database is multithreading-safe. That means, if an application is multi-threaded, it does not need o worry about synchronizing the access to the database. Internally, most requests to the same database are synchronized. That means an application can use multiple threads accessing the same database at the same time, however if one thread executes a long running query, the other threads need to wait.
features_1385_h3=Locking, Lock-Timeout, Deadlocks
features_1386_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). 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 connection cannot get a lock for a specified time, then a lock timeout exception is thrown.
features_1387_p=Usually, SELECT statement 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 SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. The statements COMMIT and ROLLBACK releases all open locks. The commands SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT 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. Here is an overview on what statements generate what type of lock\:

features_1405_p=The number of seconds until a lock timeout exception is thrown can be set separately for each connection using the SQL command SET LOCK_TIMEOUT &lt;milliseconds&gt;. The initial lock timeout (that is the timeout used for new connections) can be set using the SQL command SET DEFAULT_LOCK_TIMEOUT &lt;milliseconds&gt;. The default lock timeout is persistent.
features_1406_h2=Database File Layout
features_1407_p=There are a number of files created for persistent databases. Other than some databases, not every table and/or index is stored in its own file. Instead, usually only the following files are created\: A data file, an index file, a log file, and a database lock file (exists only while the database is in use). In addition to that, a file is created for each large object (CLOB/BLOB), a file for each linear index, and temporary files for large result sets. Then the command SCRIPT can create script files. If the database trace option is enabled, trace files are created. The following files can be created by the database\:
features_1408_th=File Name
features_1409_th=Description
features_1410_th=Number of Files
features_1411_td=test.data.db
features_1412_td=Data file
features_1413_td=Contains the data for all tables
features_1414_td=Format\: &lt;database&gt;.data.db
features_1415_td=1 per database
features_1416_td=test.index.db
features_1417_td=Index file
features_1418_td=Contains the data for all (btree) indexes
features_1419_td=Format\: &lt;database&gt;.index.db
features_1420_td=1 per database
features_1421_td=test.0.log.db
features_1422_td=Log file
features_1423_td=The log file is used for recovery
features_1424_td=Format\: &lt;database&gt;.&lt;id&gt;.log.db
features_1425_td=0 or more per database
features_1426_td=test.lock.db
features_1427_td=Database lock file
features_1428_td=Exists only if the database is open
features_1429_td=Format\: &lt;database&gt;.lock.db
features_1430_td=1 per database
features_1431_td=test.trace.db
features_1432_td=Trace file
features_1433_td=Contains trace information
features_1434_td=Format\: &lt;database&gt;.trace.db
features_1435_td=If the file is too big, it is renamed to &lt;database&gt;.trace.db.old
features_1436_td=1 per database
features_1437_td=test.14.15.lob.db
features_1438_td=Large object
features_1439_td=Contains the data for BLOB or CLOB
features_1440_td=Format\: &lt;database&gt;.&lt;tableid&gt;.&lt;id&gt;.lob.db
features_1441_td=1 per object
features_1442_td=test.123.temp.db

features_1449_td=Contains the data for a linear hash index
features_1450_td=Format\: &lt;database&gt;.&lt;object id&gt;.hash.db
features_1451_td=1 per linear hash index
features_1452_h3=Moving and Renaming Database Files
features_1453_p=Database name and location are not stored inside the database names.
features_1454_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_1455_p=As there is no platform specific data in the files, they can be moved to other operating systems without problems.
features_1456_h3=Backup
features_1457_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_1458_p=To backup data while the database is running, the SQL command SCRIPT can be used.
features_1459_h2=Logging and Recovery
features_1460_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_1461_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_1462_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 CHECKPOINT command.
features_1463_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 RECOVER\=1, as in jdbc\:h2\:~/test;RECOVER\=1. Indexes are rebuilt in this case, and the summary (object allocation table) is not read in this case, so opening the database takes longer.
features_1464_h2=Compatibility
features_1465_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_1466_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 IGNORECASE\=TRUE to the database URL (example\: jdbc\:h2\:~/test;IGNORECASE\=TRUE).
features_1467_h3=Compatibility Modes
features_1468_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 difference to the regular mode\:
features_1469_h3=PostgreSQL Compatibility Mode
features_1470_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_1471_li=Concatenation of a NULL with another value results in NULL. Usually, the NULL is treated as an empty    string if only one of the operators is NULL, and NULL is only returned if both values are NULL.
features_1472_li=When converting a floating point number to a integer, the fractional   digits should not be truncated, but the value should be rounded.
features_1473_li=The system columns 'CTID' and 'OID' should be supported.
features_1474_li=For aliased columns, ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName() returns the alias name   and getTableName() returns null.
features_1475_h3=MySQL Compatibility Mode
features_1476_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_1477_li=When inserting data, if a column is defined to be NOT NULL and NULL 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_1478_li=When converting a floating point number to a integer, the fractional   digits should not be truncated, but the value should be rounded.
features_1479_li=The identifiers should be returned in lower case.
features_1480_li=Creating indexes in the CREATE TABLE statement should be supported.
features_1481_li=For aliased columns, ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName() and getTableName()   return the real column and table name.
features_1482_h3=HSQLDB Compatibility Mode
features_1483_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_1484_li=Concatenation of a NULL with another value results in NULL. Usually, the NULL is treated as an empty   string if only one of the operators is NULL, and NULL is only returned if both values are NULL.
features_1485_li=When converting the scale of decimal data, the number is only converted if the new scale is   smaller then current scale. Usually, the scale is converted and 0s are added if required.
features_1486_li=When using unique indexes, multiple rows with NULL in one of the columns   are allowed by default. However many databases view NULL as distinct in   this regard and only allow one row with NULL.
features_1487_li=For aliased columns, ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName() returns the alias name   and getTableName() returns null.
features_1488_h3=MS SQL Server Compatibility Mode
features_1489_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_1490_li=Identifiers may be quoted using square brackets as in [Test].
features_1491_li=When using unique indexes, multiple rows with NULL in one of the columns   are allowed by default. However many databases view NULL as distinct in   this regard and only allow one row with NULL.
features_1492_li=For aliased columns, ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName() returns the alias name   and getTableName() returns null.
features_1493_h3=Derby Compatibility Mode
features_1494_p=To use the Derby mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=Derby</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE Derby</code> .
features_1495_li=When using unique indexes, multiple rows with NULL in one of the columns   are allowed by default. However many databases view NULL as distinct in   this regard and only allow one row with NULL.
features_1496_li=For aliased columns, ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName() returns the alias name   and getTableName() returns null.
features_1497_h3=Oracle Compatibility Mode
features_1498_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_1499_li=When using unique indexes, multiple rows with NULL in one of the columns   are allowed by default. However many databases view NULL as distinct in   this regard and only allow one row with NULL.
features_1500_li=For aliased columns, ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName() returns the alias name   and getTableName() returns null.
features_1501_h2=Auto-Reconnect
features_1502_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_1503_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 INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SESSION_STATE contains all client side state that is re-created.
features_1504_h2=Automatic Mixed Mode
features_1505_p=Multiple processes can access the same database without having to explicitly start the server. To do that, append <code>;AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE</code> to the database URL. In this case, the first connection to the database is made in embedded mode, and additionally a server is started. If the database is already open in another process, the server mode is used.
features_1506_p=When using this feature, auto-reconnect is enabled as well.
features_1507_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. A server is started on a random port. This server allows remote connections, however only to this database. In addition to the user name and password, the client sends the random key that is stored in .lock.db file to the server.
features_1508_h2=Using the Trace Options
features_1509_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_1510_li=Trace to System.out and/or a file
features_1511_li=Support for trace levels OFF, ERROR, INFO, and DEBUG
features_1512_li=The maximum size of the trace file can be set
features_1513_li=The Java code generation is possible
features_1514_li=Trace can be enabled at runtime by manually creating a file
features_1515_h3=Trace Options
features_1516_p=The simplest way to enable the trace option is setting it in the database URL. There are two settings, one for System.out (TRACE_LEVEL_SYSTEM_OUT) tracing, and one for file tracing (TRACE_LEVEL_FILE). The trace levels are 0 for OFF, 1 for ERROR (the default), 2 for INFO and 3 for DEBUG. A database URL with both levels set to DEBUG is\:
features_1517_p=The trace level can be changed at runtime by executing the SQL command <code>SET TRACE_LEVEL_SYSTEM_OUT level</code> (for System.out tracing) or <code>SET TRACE_LEVEL_FILE level</code> (for file tracing). Example\:
features_1518_h3=Setting the Maximum Size of the Trace File
features_1519_p=When using a high trace level, the trace file can get very big quickly. The size of the file can be limited by executing the SQL statement <code>SET TRACE_MAX_FILE_SIZE maximumFileSizeInMB</code> . If the log file exceeds the limit, the file is renamed to .old and a new file is created. If another .old file exists, it is deleted. The default setting is 16 MB. Example\:
features_1520_h3=Java Code Generation
features_1521_p=When setting the trace level to INFO or DEBUG, Java source code is generated as well, so that problem can be reproduced more easily. The trace file looks like this\:
features_1522_p=You need to filter out the lines without /**/ to get the Java source code. In Windows, a simple way to do that is\:
features_1523_p=Afterwards, you need to complete the file Trace.java before it can be compiled, for example with\:
features_1524_p=Also, the user name and password needs to be set, because they are not listed in the trace file.
features_1525_h3=Enabling the Trace Option at Runtime by Manually Creating a File
features_1526_p=Sometimes, you can't or don't want to change the application or database URL. There is still a way to enable the trace mode in these cases, even at runtime (while the database connection is open). You only need to create a special file in the directory where the database files are stored. The database engine checks every 4 seconds if this file exists (only while executing a statement). The file name is the database name plus '.trace.db.start'. This feature is disabled if the database is encrypted.
features_1527_p=Example\: if a database is called 'test', then the file to start tracing is 'test.trace.db.start'. The database engine tries to delete this file when it detects it. If trace is enabled using the start file, the trace level is not persistent to the database, and trace is switched back to the level that was set before when connecting to the database. However, if the start file is read only, the database engine cannot delete the file and will always enable the trace mode when connecting.
features_1528_h2=Using Other Logging APIs
features_1529_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 System.out. 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.
features_1530_a=SLF4J
features_1531_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), JDK 1.4 logging, x4juli, and Simple Log.
features_1532_p=To enable SLF4J, set the file trace level to 4 in the database URL\:
features_1533_p=Changing the log mechanism is not possible after the database is open, that means executing the SQL statement SET TRACE_LEVEL_FILE 4 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 in the file &lt;database&gt;.trace.db for error messages.
features_1534_h2=Read Only Databases
features_1535_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 SELECT 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 a database is read-only\: By calling Connection.isReadOnly() or by executing the SQL statement CALL READONLY().
features_1536_h2=Read Only Databases in Zip or Jar File
features_1537_p=To create a read-only database in a zip, first create a regular persistent database, and then create a backup. If you are using a database named 'test', an easy way to do that is using the Backup tool or the BACKUP SQL statement\:
features_1538_p=The database must not have pending changes, that means you need to close all connections to the database, open one single connection, and then execute the statement. Afterwards, you can log out, and directly open the database in the zip file using the following database URL\:
features_1539_p=Databases in a zip file 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; so large databases are supported as well. The same indexes are used than when using a regular database.
features_1540_h2=Binary and Text Storage Formats
features_1541_p=This database engine supports both binary and text storage formats. The binary format is faster, but the text storage format can be useful as well, for example to debug the database engine. If a database already exists, the storage format is recognized automatically. New databases are created in the binary storage format by default. To create a new database in the text storage format, the database URL must contain the parameter STORAGE\=TEXT. Example URL\: jdbc\:h2\:~/test;STORAGE\=TEXT
features_1542_h2=Graceful Handling of Low Disk Space Situations
features_1543_p=The database is able to deal with situations where the disk space available is running low. Whenever the database starts, an 'emergency space' file is created (size is 1 MB), and if there is no more space available, the file will shrink. If the space available is lower than 128 KB, the database will go into a special read only mode, where writing operations are no longer allowed\: All writing operations will throw the exception 'No disk space available' from this point on. To go back to the normal operating mode, all connections to the database need to be closed first, and space needs to be freed up.
features_1544_p=It is possible to install a database event listener to detect low disk space situations early on (when only 1 MB if space is available). To do this, use the SQL statement SET DATABASE_EVENT_LISTENER. The listener can also be set at connection time, using an URL of the form jdbc\:h2\:~/test;DATABASE_EVENT_LISTENER\='com.acme.DbListener' (the quotes around the class name are required). See also the DatabaseEventListener API.
features_1545_h3=Opening a Corrupted Database
features_1546_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_1547_h2=Computed Columns / Function Based Index
features_1548_p=Function indexes are not directly supported by this database, but they can be easily emulated by using computed columns. For example, if an index on the upper-case version of a column is required, just create a computed column with the upper-case version of the original column, and index this column\:
features_1549_p=When inserting data, it is not required (better\: 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_1550_h2=Multi-Dimensional Indexes
features_1551_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_1552_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_1553_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 TestMultiDimension.java.
features_1554_h2=Using Passwords
features_1555_h3=Using Secure Passwords
features_1556_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_1557_p=i'sE2rtPiUKtT (it's easy to remember this password if you know the trick)
features_1558_h3=Passwords\: Using Char Arrays instead of Strings
features_1559_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_1560_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_1561_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_1562_p=In this example, the password is hard code in the application, which is not secure of course. However, Java Swing supports a way to get passwords using a char array (JPasswordField).
features_1563_h3=Passing the User Name and/or Password in the URL
features_1564_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_1565_h2=User-Defined Functions and Stored Procedures
features_1566_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. Only static Java methods are supported; both the class and the method must be public. Example Java method\:
features_1567_p=The Java function must be registered in the database by calling CREATE ALIAS\:
features_1568_p=For a complete sample application, see src/test/org/h2/samples/Function.java.
features_1569_h3=Function Data Type Mapping
features_1570_p=Functions that accept non-nullable parameters such as 'int' will not be called if one of those parameters is NULL. In this case, the value NULL is used as the result. If the function should be called in this case, you need to use 'java.lang.Integer' instead of 'int'.
features_1571_h3=Functions that require a Connection
features_1572_p=If the first parameter in a Java function is a java.sql.Connection, then the connection to database is provided. This connection does not need to be closed before returning.
features_1573_h3=Functions throwing an Exception
features_1574_p=If a function throws an Exception, then the current statement is rolled back and the exception is thrown to the application.
features_1575_h3=Functions returning a Result Set
features_1576_p=Functions may returns a result set. Such a function can be called with the CALL statement\:
features_1577_h3=Using SimpleResultSet
features_1578_p=A function that returns a result set can create this result set from scratch using the SimpleResultSet tool\:
features_1579_h3=Using a Function as a Table
features_1580_p=A function returning a result set can be 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 null where not known at compile time). And then, while executing the statement to get the data (may be repeatedly 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 jdbc\:columnlist\:connection. Otherwise, the URL of the connection is jdbc\:default\:connection.
features_1581_h2=Triggers
features_1582_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 src/test/org/h2/samples/TriggerSample.java. A Java trigger must implement the interface org.h2.api.Trigger\:
features_1583_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_1584_p=The trigger can be used to veto a change, by throwing a SQL Exception.
features_1585_h2=Compacting a Database
features_1586_p=Empty space in the database file is re-used automatically. To re-build the indexes, the simplest way is to delete the .index.db 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_1587_p=See also the sample application org.h2.samples.Compact. The commands SCRIPT / RUNSCRIPT can be used as well to create a backup of a database and re-build the database from the script.
features_1588_h2=Cache Settings
features_1589_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 CACHE_SIZE. This setting can be set in the database connection URL (jdbc\:h2\:~/test;CACHE_SIZE\=131072), or it can be changed at runtime using SET CACHE_SIZE size.
features_1590_p=This database supports two cache page replacement algorithms\: LRU (the default) and 2Q. For LRU, the pages that were least frequently used are removed from the cache if it becomes full. The 2Q algorithm is a bit more complicated\: basically two queues are used. The 2Q algorithm is more resistant to table scans, however the overhead is a bit higher compared to the LRU. To use the cache algorithm 2Q, use a database URL of the form jdbc\:h2\:~/test;CACHE_TYPE\=TQ. The cache algorithm cannot be changed once the database is open.
features_1591_p=To get information about page reads and writes, and the current caching algorithm in use, call SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS. The number of pages read / written is listed for the data and index file.

history_1010_h2=History of this Database Engine
history_1011_p=The development of H2 was started in May 2004, but it was first published on December 14th 2005. The author of H2, Thomas Mueller, is also the original developer of Hypersonic SQL. In 2001, he joined PointBase Inc. where he created PointBase Micro. At that point, he had to discontinue Hypersonic SQL, but then 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 any code with Hypersonic SQL or HSQLDB. H2 is built from scratch.
history_1012_h2=Why Java
history_1013_p=A few reasons using a Java database are\:
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
history_1019_p=Some people think that Java is still too slow for low level operations, but this is not the case (not any more). In general, the code can be written a lot faster than using C or C++. Like that, it is possible to concentrate on improving the algorithms (that make the application faster) rather than porting the code and dealing with low level stuff (such as memory management or dealing with threads). Garbage collection is now probably faster than manual memory management.
history_1020_p=A lot of features are already built in (for example Unicode, network libraries). It is very easy to write secure code because buffer overflows can not occur. Some features such as the reflection mechanism can be used for randomized testing.
history_1021_p=Java is also future proof\: A lot of companies support Java, and it is now open source.
history_1022_p=This software does not rely on many Java libraries or other software, to increase the portability and ease of use, and for performance reasons. For example, the encryption algorithms and many library functions are implemented in the database instead of using the existing libraries. Libraries that are not available in open source Java implementations (such as Swing) are not used or only used for specific features.

jaqu_1000_h1=JaQu
jaqu_1001_h2=What is JaQu
1491
jaqu_1002_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 object/relation 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\:
1492
jaqu_1003_p=stands for the SQL statement\:

1493 1494
jaqu_1004_h2=Advantages and Differences to other Data Access Tools
jaqu_1005_p=Unlike SQL, JaQu can be easily integrated in Java applications. Because JaQu is pure Java, Javadoc and auto-complete are supported. Type checking is performed by the compiler. JaQu fully protects against SQL injection.
1495
jaqu_1006_p=JaQu is much smaller than object/relation mapping tools 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.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
1496
jaqu_1007_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.
1497 1498 1499 1500 1501 1502 1503 1504
jaqu_1008_h3=Restrictions
jaqu_1009_p=Primitive types (eg. boolean, int, long, double) are not supported. Instead, Boolean, Integer, Long, and Double must be used.
jaqu_1010_h3=Why in Java?
jaqu_1011_p=Most people use Java in their application. Mixing Java and another language (for example Scala or Groovy) in the same application is complicated. It would be required to split the code to access the database and the application code.
jaqu_1012_h2=Current State
jaqu_1013_p=JaQu is not yet stable, and not part of the h2.jar file. However the source code is included in H2, under\:
jaqu_1014_li=src/test/org/h2/test/jaqu/* (samples and tests)
jaqu_1015_li=src/tools/org/h2/jaqu/* (framework)
1505 1506 1507 1508 1509 1510 1511
jaqu_1016_h2=Building the JaQu library
jaqu_1017_p=To create the JaQu jar file, run\: <code>build jarJaqu</code> . This will create the file <code>bin/h2jaqu.jar</code> .
jaqu_1018_h2=Requirements
jaqu_1019_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_1020_h2=Example Code
jaqu_1021_h2=Configuration
jaqu_1022_p=JaQu does not require any kind of configuration is you want to use 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 'define' in the data class. Example\:
1512
jaqu_1023_p=The method 'define()' 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). This solution is very flexible because the definition is written in regular Java code\: Unlike when using annotations, your code can select the right configuration depending on the environment if required. Unlike XML mapping configuration, the configuration is integrated in the class itself.

jaqu_1024_h2=Ideas
jaqu_1025_p=This project has just been started, and nothing is fixed yet. Some ideas for what to implement include\:
1515 1516 1517 1518 1519 1520 1521 1522 1523 1524
jaqu_1026_li=Support queries on collections (instead of using a database).
jaqu_1027_li=Provide API level compatibility with JPA (so that JaQu can be used as an extension of JPA).
jaqu_1028_li=Internally use a JPA implementation (for example Hibernate) instead of SQL directly.
jaqu_1029_li=Use PreparedStatements and cache them.

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, when 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. At this time, it seems 'bungisoft' does not exist any more, but you can use the Wayback Machine of http\://www.archive.org and look for old web pages of http\://www.bungisoft.com .

license_1131_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_1132_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_1133_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.
license_1134_h3=3. REQUIREMENTS
license_1135_p=A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that\:
license_1136_p=a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
license_1137_p=b) its license agreement\:
license_1138_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_1139_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_1140_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_1141_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_1142_p=When the Program is made available in source code form\:
license_1143_p=a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
license_1144_p=b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
license_1145_p=Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
license_1146_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.
license_1147_h3=4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
license_1148_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_1149_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.
license_1150_h3=5. NO WARRANTY
license_1151_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.
license_1152_h3=6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
license_1153_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.
license_1154_h3=7. GENERAL
license_1155_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_1156_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_1157_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_1158_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_1159_p=This Agreement is governed by the laws of
license_1160_em=Switzerland</em> and the intellectual property laws of
license_1161_em=Switzerland</em> . 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.

The application highlights an automated curve fitting and classification algorithm that outperforms commercial packages in the field. Commercial alternatives are typically small desktop software that handle a few dose response curves at a time. A couple of commercial packages that do handle several thousand curves are very expensive tools (&gt;60k USD) that require manual curation of analysis by the user; require a license to Oracle; lack advanced query/retrieval; and the ability to handle chemical structures.

performance_1238_h3=Benchmark Results and Comments
performance_1239_h4=H2
2148
performance_1240_p=Version 1.0.78 (2008-08-28) 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 20 ms after opening a database to ensure the database files are not opened by another process.
2149
performance_1241_h4=HSQLDB
2150
performance_1242_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 (SET WRITE_DELAY 1). 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\:
2151 2152
performance_1243_p=The PolePosition benchmark also shows that the query optimizer does not do a very good job for some queries. A disadvantage in HSQLDB is the slow startup / shutdown time (currently not listed) when using bigger databases. The reason is, a backup of the database is created whenever the database is opened or closed.
performance_1244_h4=Derby
2153
performance_1245_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 not be easy 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.
2154
performance_1246_h4=PostgreSQL
2155
performance_1247_p=Version 8.3.4 was used for the test. The following options where changed in postgresql.conf\: fsync \= off, commit_delay \= 1000. 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.
2156
performance_1248_h4=MySQL
2157
performance_1249_p=Version 5.0.67 was used for the test. MySQL was run with the InnoDB backend. The setting innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit (found in the my.ini 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 my.ini, and then restart the service. The memory usage number is incorrect, because only the memory usage of the JDBC driver is measured.

performance_1250_h4=Firebird
performance_1251_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_1252_h4=Why Oracle / MS SQL Server / DB2 are Not Listed
performance_1253_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_1254_h3=About this Benchmark
performance_1255_h4=Number of Connections
performance_1256_p=This is mostly a single-connection benchmark. BenchB uses multiple connections; the other tests use one connection.
performance_1257_h4=Real-World Tests
performance_1258_p=Good benchmarks emulate real-world use cases. This benchmark includes 3 test cases\: A simple test case with 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_1259_h4=Comparing Embedded with Server Databases
performance_1260_p=This is mainly a benchmark for embedded databases (where the application runs in the same virtual machine than 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_1261_h4=Test Platform
performance_1262_p=This test is run on Windows XP with the virus scanner switched off. The VM used is Sun JDK 1.5.
performance_1263_h4=Multiple Runs
performance_1264_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_1265_h4=Memory Usage
performance_1266_p=It is not enough to measure the time taken, the memory usage is important as well. Performance can be improved in databases by using a bigger in-memory cache, but there is only a limited amount of memory available on the system. 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_1267_h4=Delayed Operations
performance_1268_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_1269_h4=Transaction Commit / Durability
performance_1270_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 fsync() to flush the buffers, but most hard drives don't actually flush all data. Calling fsync() 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_1271_h4=Using Prepared Statements
performance_1272_p=Wherever possible, the test cases use prepared statements.
performance_1273_h4=Currently Not Tested\: Startup Time
performance_1274_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. That means the Open/Close time listed is for opening a connection if the database is already in use.
performance_1275_h2=PolePosition Benchmark
performance_1276_p=The PolePosition is an open source benchmark. The algorithms are all quite simple. It was developed / sponsored by db4o.

performance_1382_h2=Application Profiling
performance_1383_h3=Analyze First
performance_1384_p=Before trying to optimize the performance, it is important to know where the time is actually spent. The same is true for memory problems. Premature or 'blind' optimization should be avoided, as it is not an efficient way to solve the problem. There are various ways to analyze the application. In some situations it is possible to compare two implementations and use System.currentTimeMillis() to find out which one is faster. But this does not work for complex applications with many modules, and for memory problems.
performance_1385_p=A very good tool to measure both the memory and the CPU is the <a href\="http\://www.yourkit.com">YourKit Java Profiler</a> . This tool is also used to optimize the performance and memory footprint of this database engine.
performance_1386_p=A simple way to profile an application is to use the built-in profiling tool of java. Example\:
performance_1387_p=Unfortunately, it is only possible to profile the application from start to end.
performance_1388_h2=Database Profiling
performance_1389_p=The ConvertTraceFile 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 java -Xrunhprof. As an example, execute the the following script using the H2 Console\:
performance_1390_p=Now convert the .trace.db file using the ConvertTraceFile tool\:
performance_1391_p=The generated file <code>test.sql</code> will contain the SQL statements as well as the following profiling data (results vary)\:
performance_1392_h2=Database Performance Tuning
performance_1393_h3=Virus Scanners
performance_1394_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 does 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 excluding file endings. Make sure files ending with .db are not scanned.
performance_1395_h3=Using the Trace Options
performance_1396_p=If the main 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_1397_h3=Index Usage
performance_1398_p=This database uses indexes to improve the performance of SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE statements. If a column is used in the WHERE 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 not used to order result sets\: 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 CREATE INDEX statement.
performance_1399_h3=Optimizer
performance_1400_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_1401_h3=Expression Optimization
performance_1402_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 WHERE clause is always false, then the table is not accessed at all.
performance_1403_h3=COUNT(*) Optimization
performance_1404_p=If the query only counts all rows of a table, then the data is not accessed. However, this is only possible if no WHERE clause is used, that means it only works for queries of the form SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table.
performance_1405_h3=Updating Optimizer Statistics / Column Selectivity
performance_1406_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 SELECT * FROM TEST T1, TEST T2 WHERE T1.NAME\='A' AND T2.ID\=T1.ID, two index can be used, in this case the index on NAME for T1 and the index on ID for T2.
performance_1407_p=If a table has multiple indexes, sometimes more than one index could be used. Example\: if there is a table TEST(ID, NAME, FIRSTNAME) and an index on each column, then two indexes could be used for the query SELECT * FROM TEST WHERE NAME\='A' AND FIRSTNAME\='B', 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_1408_p=The SQL statement ANALYZE 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_1409_h3=Optimization Examples
performance_1410_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.

tutorial_1017_h2=Starting and Using the H2 Console
tutorial_1018_p=This 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_1019_p=This is a client / server application, so both a server and a client (a browser) are required to run it.
tutorial_1020_p=Depending on your platform and environment, there are multiple ways to start the application\:
tutorial_1021_th=OS
tutorial_1022_th=Start
tutorial_1023_td=Windows
tutorial_1024_td=Click [Start], [All Programs], [H2], and [H2 Console (Command Line)]
tutorial_1025_td=When using the Sun JDK 1.4 or 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_1026_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 http\://localhost\:8082).
tutorial_1027_td=Windows
tutorial_1028_td=Open a file browser, navigate to h2/bin, and double click on h2.bat.
tutorial_1029_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\: http\://localhost\:8082).
tutorial_1030_td=Any
tutorial_1031_td=Open a console window, navigate to the directory 'h2/bin' and type\:
tutorial_1032_h3=Firewall
tutorial_1033_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_1034_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_1035_h3=Native Version
tutorial_1036_p=The native version does not require Java, because it is compiled using GCJ. However H2 does currently not run stable with GCJ on Windows It is possible to compile the software to different platforms.
tutorial_1037_h3=Testing Java
tutorial_1038_p=To check the Java version you have installed, open a command prompt and type\:
tutorial_1039_p=If you get an error message, you may need to add the Java binary directory to the path environment variable.
tutorial_1040_h3=Error Message 'Port is in use'
tutorial_1041_p=You can only start one instance of the H2 Console, otherwise you will get the following error message\: <code>Port is in use, maybe another ... server already running on...</code> . 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_1042_h3=Using another Port
tutorial_1043_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 .h2.server.properties. This file is stored in the user directory (for Windows, this is usually in "Documents and Settings/&lt;username&gt;"). The relevant entry is webPort.
tutorial_1044_h3=Starting Successfully
tutorial_1045_p=If starting the server from a console window was successful, a new window will open and display the following text\:
tutorial_1046_p=Don't click inside this window; otherwise you might block the application (if you have the Fast-Edit mode enabled).
tutorial_1047_h3=Connecting to the Server using a Browser
tutorial_1048_p=If the server started successfully, you can connect to it using a web browser. The browser needs to support JavaScript, frames and cascading stylesheets (css). If you started the server on the same computer as the browser, go to http\://localhost\:8082 in the browser. If you want to connect to the application from another computer, you need to provide the IP address of the server, for example\: <a href\="http\://192.168.0.2\:8082">http\://192.168.0.2\:8082</a> . If you enabled SSL on the server side, the URL needs to start with HTTPS.
tutorial_1049_h3=Multiple Concurrent Sessions
tutorial_1050_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_1051_h3=Application Properties
tutorial_1052_p=Starting the server will create a configuration file in you local home directory called <code>.h2.server.properties</code> . For Windows installations, this file will be in the directory <code>C\:\\Documents and Settings\\[username]</code> . This file contains the settings of the 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 the Application Properties file.
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 H2DRIVERS or CLASSPATH. Example (Windows)\: To add the database driver library C\:\\Programs\\hsqldb\\lib\\hsqldb.jar, set the environment variable H2DRIVERS to C\:\\Programs\\hsqldb\\lib\\hsqldb.jar.
tutorial_1060_p=Multiple drivers can be set; each entry needs to be separated with a ';' (Windows) or '\:' (other operating systems). Spaces in the path names are supported. The settings must not be quoted.
tutorial_1061_h3=Using the Application
tutorial_1062_p=The 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, a 'SELECT * FROM ...' is added as well. While typing a query, the table that was used is automatically expanded in the tree. For, example if you type 'SELECT * FROM TEST T WHERE T.' then the table TEST is automatically expanded in the tree.
tutorial_1065_h3=Disconnecting and Stopping the Application
tutorial_1066_p=On the browser, click 'Disconnect' on the toolbar panel. You will be logged out of the database. 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 icon (because you started it in another way), press [Ctrl]+[C] on the console where the server was started (Windows), or close the console window.
tutorial_1068_h2=Connecting to a Database using JDBC
tutorial_1069_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_1070_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> in every case. 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 ('sa' for System Administrator in this example). The third parameter is the password. Please note that in this database, user names are not case sensitive, but passwords are case sensitive.
tutorial_1071_h2=Creating New Databases
tutorial_1072_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_1073_h2=Using the Server
tutorial_1074_p=H2 currently supports three servers\: a Web Server, a TCP Server and an ODBC Server. The servers can be started in different ways.
tutorial_1075_h3=Starting the Server from Command Line
tutorial_1076_p=To start the Server from the command line with the default settings, run
tutorial_1077_p=This will start the Server with the default options. To get the list of options and default values, run
tutorial_1078_p=There are options available to use different ports, and start or not start parts of the Server and so on. For details, see the API documentation of the Server tool.
tutorial_1079_h3=Connecting to the TCP Server
tutorial_1080_p=To remotely connect to a database using the TCP server, use the following driver and database URL\:
tutorial_1081_li=JDBC driver class\: org.h2.Driver
tutorial_1082_li=Database URL\: jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost/~/test
tutorial_1083_p=For details about the database URL, see also in Features.
tutorial_1084_h3=Starting the Server within an Application
tutorial_1085_p=It is also possible to start and stop a Server from within an application. Sample code\:
tutorial_1086_h3=Stopping a TCP Server from Another Process
tutorial_1087_p=The TCP Server can be stopped from another process. To stop the server from the command line, run\:
tutorial_1088_p=To stop the server from a user application, use the following code\:
tutorial_1089_p=This function will call System.exit on the server. This function should be called after all connections to the databases are closed to avoid recovery when the databases are opened the next time. To stop remote server, remote connections must be enabled on the server.
tutorial_1090_h2=Using Hibernate
tutorial_1091_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 src/tools/org/hibernate/dialect/H2Dialect.java.txt. You can rename it to H2Dialect.java and include this as a patch in your application.
tutorial_1092_h2=Using TopLink and Glassfish
tutorial_1093_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_1094_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_1095_p=In old versions of Glassfish, the property name is <code>toplink.platform.class.name</code> .
tutorial_1096_h2=Using Databases in Web Applications
tutorial_1097_p=There are multiple ways to access a database from within web applications. Here are some examples if you use Tomcat or JBoss.
tutorial_1098_h3=Embedded Mode
tutorial_1099_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 shared/lib or server/lib 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_1100_h3=Server Mode
tutorial_1101_p=The server mode is similar, but it allows you to run the server in another process.
tutorial_1102_h3=Using a Servlet Listener to Start and Stop a Database
tutorial_1103_p=Add the h2.jar file your web application, and add the following snippet to your web.xml file (after context-param and before filter)\:
tutorial_1104_p=For details on how to access the database, see the code DbStarter.java
tutorial_1105_p=By default the DbStarter listener opens an embedded connection using the database URL jdbc\:h2\:~/test and user name and password 'sa'. It can also start the TCP server, however this is disabled by default. To enable it, use the db.tcpServer parameter in web.xml. Here is the complete list of options. These options are set just after the display-name and description tag, but before any listener and filter tags\:
tutorial_1106_p=When the web application is stopped, the database connection will be closed automatically. If the server is started within the DbStarter, it will also be stopped automatically when the web application is stopped.
tutorial_1107_h2=CSV (Comma Separated Values) Support
tutorial_1108_p=The CSV file support can be used inside the database using the functions CSVREAD and CSVWRITE, and the CSV library can be used outside the database as a standalone tool.
tutorial_1109_h3=Writing a CSV File from Within a Database
tutorial_1110_p=The built-in function CSVWRITE can be used to create a CSV file from a query. Example\:
tutorial_1111_h3=Reading a CSV File from Within a Database
tutorial_1112_p=A CSV file can be read using the function CSVREAD. Example\:
tutorial_1113_h3=Writing a CSV File from a Java Application
tutorial_1114_p=The CSV tool can be used in a Java application even when not using a database at all. Example\:
tutorial_1115_h3=Reading a CSV File from a Java Application
tutorial_1116_p=It is possible to read a CSV file without opening a database. Example\:
tutorial_1117_h2=Upgrade, Backup, and Restore
tutorial_1118_h3=Database Upgrade
tutorial_1119_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_1120_h3=Backup using the Script Tool
tutorial_1121_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 Script tool\:
tutorial_1122_p=It is also possible to use the SQL command SCRIPT to create the backup of the database. For more information about the options, see the SQL command SCRIPT. 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_1123_h3=Restore from a Script
tutorial_1124_p=To restore a database from a SQL script file, you can use the RunScript tool\:
tutorial_1125_p=For more information about the options, see the SQL command RUNSCRIPT. 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 RUNSCRIPT to execute a SQL script. SQL script files may contain references to other script files, in the form of RUNSCRIPT commands. However, when using the server mode, the references script files need to be available on the server side.
tutorial_1126_h3=Online Backup
tutorial_1127_p=The BACKUP SQL statement and the Backup 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 BACKUP statement does not lock the database objects, and therefore does not block other users. The resulting backup is transactionally consistent\:
tutorial_1128_p=The Backup tool (org.h2.tools.Backup) can not be used to create a online backup; the database must not be in use while running this program.
tutorial_1129_h2=Command Line Tools
tutorial_1130_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_1131_p=The command line tools are\:
tutorial_1132_b=Backup
tutorial_1133_li=creates a backup of a database.
tutorial_1134_b=ChangeFileEncryption
tutorial_1135_li=allows changing the file encryption password or algorithm of a database.

tutorial_1154_b=Shell
tutorial_1155_li=is a command line database tool.
tutorial_1156_p=The tools can also be called from an application by calling the main or another public methods. For details, see the Javadoc documentation.
tutorial_1157_h2=Using OpenOffice Base
tutorial_1158_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_1159_li=Start OpenOffice Writer, go to [Tools], [Options]
tutorial_1160_li=Make sure you have selected a Java runtime environment in OpenOffice.org / Java
tutorial_1161_li=Click [Class Path...], [Add Archive...]
tutorial_1162_li=Select your h2.jar (location is up to you, could be wherever you choose)
tutorial_1163_li=Click [OK] (as much as needed), stop OpenOffice (including the Quickstarter)
tutorial_1164_li=Start OpenOffice Base
tutorial_1165_li=Connect to an existing database; select JDBC; [Next]
tutorial_1166_li=Example datasource URL\: jdbc\:h2\:~/test
tutorial_1167_li=JDBC driver class\: org.h2.Driver
tutorial_1168_p=Now you can access the database stored in the current users home directory.
tutorial_1169_p=To use H2 in NeoOffice (OpenOffice without X11)\:
tutorial_1170_li=In NeoOffice, go to [NeoOffice], [Preferences]
tutorial_1171_li=Look for the page under [NeoOffice], [Java]
tutorial_1172_li=Click [Classpath], [Add Archive...]
tutorial_1173_li=Select your h2.jar (location is up to you, could be wherever you choose)
tutorial_1174_li=Click [OK] (as much as needed), restart NeoOffice.
tutorial_1175_p=Now, when creating a new database using the "Database Wizard"\:
tutorial_1176_li=Select "connect to existing database" and the type "jdbc". Click next.
tutorial_1177_li=Enter your h2 database URL. The normal behavior of H2 is that a new db is created if it doesn't exist.
tutorial_1178_li=Next step - up to you... you can just click finish and start working.
tutorial_1179_p=Another solution to use H2 in NeoOffice is\:
tutorial_1180_li=Package the h2 jar within an extension package
tutorial_1181_li=Install it as a Java extension in NeoOffice
tutorial_1182_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_1183_h2=Java Web Start / JNLP
tutorial_1184_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\: java.security.AccessControlException\: access denied (java.io.FilePermission ... read). Example permission tags\:
tutorial_1185_h2=Using a Connection Pool
tutorial_1186_p=For many databases, opening a connection is slow, and it is a good idea to use a connection pool to re-use connections. For H2 however opening a connection usually is fast if the database is already open. Using a connection pool for H2 actually slows down the process a bit, except if file encryption is used (in this case opening a connection is about half as fast as using a connection pool). 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 connection pools available, for example <a href\="http\://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/">DBCP</a> . The build-in connection pool is used as follows\:
tutorial_1187_h2=Fulltext Search
tutorial_1188_p=H2 supports Lucene full text search and native full text search implementation.
tutorial_1189_h3=Using the Native Full Text Search
tutorial_1190_p=To initialize, call\:
2936 2937 2938
tutorial_1191_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_1192_p=PUBLIC is the schema, 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 read time. To search the index, use the following query\:
tutorial_1193_p=You can also call the index from within a Java application\:
2939 2940 2941 2942 2943 2944 2945 2946 2947 2948 2949 2950
tutorial_1194_h3=Using the Lucene Fulltext Search
tutorial_1195_p=To use the Lucene full text search, you need the Lucene library in the classpath. How his is done depends on the application; if you use the H2 Console, you can add the Lucene jar file to the environment variables H2DRIVERS or CLASSPATH. To initialize the Lucene full text search in a database, call\:
tutorial_1196_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_1197_p=PUBLIC is the schema, 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 read time. To search the index, use the following query\:
tutorial_1198_p=You can also call the index from within a Java application\:
tutorial_1199_h2=User-Defined Variables
tutorial_1200_p=This database supports user-defined variables. Variables start with @ and can be used wherever expressions or parameters are used. Variables not persisted and session scoped, that means only visible for the session where they are defined. A value is usually assigned using the SET command\:
tutorial_1201_p=It is also possible to change a value using the SET() method. This is useful in queries\:
tutorial_1202_p=Variables that are not set evaluate to NULL. 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_1203_h2=Date and Time
tutorial_1204_p=Date, time and timestamp values support ISO 8601 formatting, including time zone\:
