Experimental feature to support case sensitive catalog names and database names using the DATABASE() method. To use this feature, set the system property h2.databaseToUpper to false. The plan is to set the property to false by default in version 1.3.x. Issue 204 - thanks to Sylvain Cuaz (ILM Informatique) for the patch.
@changelog_1288_li
@changelog_1289_li
Experimental feature to support nested joins. To enable, set the system property h2.nestedJoins to true. If enabled, nested joins and right outer joins should work as expected (issues 145, 177, and 203). The plan is to enable this feature by default in version 1.3.x.

Statements with a nested query and a condition that was always NULL threw an IndexOutOfBoundsException. Example: select * from (select null as x) where x=1
@changelog_1299_li
@changelog_1300_li
The changes that were made to support large transactions also fixed a bug with large transactions (when the undo log file size is larger than 2 GB).
@changelog_1300_li
@changelog_1301_li
Experimental feature to support very large transactions (except when using MVCC). To enable, set the system property h2.largeTransactions to true. If enabled, changes to tables without a primary key can be buffered to disk. The plan is to enable this feature by default in version 1.3.x.
@changelog_1301_li
@changelog_1302_li
H2 Console: editing result sets is now also working for database other than H2, if they do support updatable result sets. Add "@edit" before the query. Only limited testing has been done on this feature, some data types may not work (please provide feedback if you find issues).
@changelog_1302_li
@changelog_1303_li
Cluster: an open transaction was committed when a cluster node was stopped (because disabling the cluster executes SET CLUSTER '', which committed the transaction). Transaction are no longer committed when calling SET CLUSTER. Issue 199.

H2 Console: when the settings were not stored yet (for example when running for the first time), the last recently used settings were not stored. A workaround was to create the file ".h2.server.properties" manually in the current user home directory, with the contents: webAllowOthers=false, webPort=8082, webSSL=false, 0=Generic H2 (Embedded)|org.h2.Driver|jdbc\:h2\:~/test|sa (where a comma is a newline).

There was a possible Java level deadlock when opening an uninitialized database and using a file system that also opened a database.
@changelog_1335_li
@changelog_1336_li
When killing the process while the database was writing a checkpoint, while it was closing, or while running recovery (while removing temporary tables from a previous run), the database could become corrupt. A new test case has been implemented to ensure such problems can not occur in the future.
@changelog_1336_li
@changelog_1337_li
File system: new method FileSystem.setReadOnly.
@changelog_1337_li
@changelog_1338_li
The page size for new databases can now be set in the database URL using ;PAGE_SIZE=512. Currently this feature is only used to simplify testing.
@changelog_1338_li
@changelog_1339_li
New system property h2.functionsInSchema (default is false). If enabled, the SCRIPT statement always includes the schema name in the CREATE ALIAS statement (even if the schema is PUBLIC). This is not backward compatible with H2 versions 1.2.134 and older.
@changelog_1339_li
@changelog_1340_li
Functions: it is no longer required to add a space after a comma in the parameter list. Example: CREATE ALIAS PARSE_INT FOR "java.lang.Integer.parseInt(java.lang.String,int)"
@changelog_1340_li
@changelog_1341_li
Functions now reside within a schema, similar to sequences. If you do create such functions in schemas other than PUBLIC, then the database can not be opened with older versions of H2.
@changelog_1341_li
@changelog_1342_li
Cluster: after a cluster node failed, the second cluster node can now be re-created and started without having to stop the first cluster node, and without having to stop running applications. To do that, append ;AUTO_RECONNECT=TRUE to the database URL.
@changelog_1342_li
@changelog_1343_li
Auto-reconnect: if another connection uses the database in exclusive mode then this connection will try to re-connect until the exclusive mode ends. This is important when using the cluster mode.
@changelog_1343_li
@changelog_1344_li
SET EXCLUSIVE now supports 0 (disable), 1 (enable), and 2 (enable and close all other connections).
@changelog_1344_li
@changelog_1345_li
Installing the H2 as a service should now work on Windows 7. The batch files now explicitly set the directory using pushd "%~dp0".
@changelog_1345_li
@changelog_1346_li
Temporary tables can now be 'cached', that means indexes of temporary tables can be persisted. This enables very large temporary tables (both local and global).
@changelog_1346_li
@changelog_1347_li
The CreateCluster tool now sets the source database in exclusive mode before copying data to the new database.
@changelog_1347_li
@changelog_1348_li
The H2 Console now stream results one statement / result set at a time (using chunked transfer encoding). To disable, set the system property h2.consoleStream to false. This feature is not supported when using a servlet container.
@changelog_1348_li
@changelog_1349_li
The H2 Console did not call the CreateCluster tool with the correctly escaped parameters.
@changelog_1349_li

@changelog_1350_li
@changelog_1351_li
Commas at the end of INSERT ... VALUES (), (), are now supported.
@changelog_1351_li
@changelog_1352_li
The H2 Console "Start Browser" button now works even when the IP address changes while the tool runs (for example, because a wireless connection breaks, or when enabling / disabling the network connection).
@changelog_1352_li
@changelog_1353_li
When casting from float or double to BigDecimal, the result was sometimes unexpected, because "new BigDecimal(double val)" was used. Now "BigDecimal.valueOf(double val)" and "new BigDecimal(Float.toString(f))" are used. But it is still not recommended to use float or double for currency values (see data type documentation).
@changelog_1353_li
@changelog_1354_li
Global temporary tables are now deleted when closing the database. Before, they were deleted when opening the database the next time.
@changelog_1354_li
@changelog_1355_li
UNIQUE was not listed as a keyword.
@changelog_1355_li
@changelog_1356_li
Improved error message when an non-SQL-exception occurred in a user defined function. The method name and parameters are included in the error message.
@changelog_1356_li
@changelog_1357_li
For some queries, the exception did not include the SQL statement. Example: select x from system_range(1, 2) group by 'a'.
@changelog_1357_li
@changelog_1358_li
The Shell tool will execute SQL statements passed as using the command line parameter -sql.
@changelog_1358_li
@changelog_1359_li
If InetAddress.getLocalHost() fails, the database should now throw an exception.
@changelog_1359_li

New columns INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INDEXES.INDEX_CLASS and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES.TABLE_CLASS.
@changelog_1360_li
@changelog_1361_li
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INDEXES.SQL now contains the CREATE INDEX statement instead of just the fully qualified index name.

@changelog_1367_li
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN: changing the data type of a column no longer makes it nullable.
@changelog_1367_li
@changelog_1368_li
When using AUTO_SERVER=TRUE, the server is now started as a daemon thread. This was a problem when using Tomcat and a connection pool.
@changelog_1368_li
@changelog_1369_li
Servers can now be started as a daemon thread using the command line options -tcpDaemon, -pgDaemon, and -webDaemon.
@changelog_1369_li
@changelog_1370_li
H2 Console: the built-in commands are now documented.
@changelog_1370_li
@changelog_1371_li
REPLACE: if any parameter is null, the result is null.
@changelog_1371_li
@changelog_1372_li
Queries with DISTINCT and ORDER BY will now use the index on ORDER BY if possible. This is specially important for queries used inside IN(SELECT ...).
@changelog_1372_li
@changelog_1373_li
The new statement EXPLAIN ANALYZE executes the statement, and displays the query plan with the actual row scan count for each table.
@changelog_1373_li
@changelog_1374_li
H2 Console: the auto-complete feature didn't quote column names that need quoting. Issue 186.
@changelog_1374_li
@changelog_1375_li
The experimental LOB storage mechanism now supports all features of the old one. To use it, set the system property "h2.lobInDatabase" to "true". If you have used this feature in version 1.2.133, you need to export and re-import the database using SCRIPT / RUNSCRIPT.
@changelog_1375_li
@changelog_1376_li
The functions isBeforeFirst() and isAfterLast() were not compliant to the JDBC spec. If the ResultSet contains no rows, they must return false. Fixed.
@changelog_1376_li
@changelog_1377_li
Filesystem parameters like "split:" didn't work in server mode with baseDir set.
@changelog_1377_li
@changelog_1378_li
If baseDir is set, and a database name is given which points to a directory outside the baseDir (eg. "../dbname"), an exception is thrown.

Version 1.2.133 (2010-04-10)
@changelog_1379_li
@changelog_1380_li
A new experimental LOB storage mechanism is available. When enabled, CLOB and BLOB data is stored in hidden tables in the database. To use it, set the system property "h2.lobInDatabase" to "true". Compression is not yet implemented. Duplicate objects are only stored once. Usually writing is slower, but reading is faster (mainly because of caching).
@changelog_1380_li
@changelog_1381_li
The Shell tool threw a NumberFormatException on a empty statement.
@changelog_1381_li
@changelog_1382_li
The h2small-*.jar did not support "drop all objects delete files". Now it is supported (the DeleteDbFiles tool is now included).
@changelog_1382_li
@changelog_1383_li
Operations that don't fit in memory are now faster. Temporary file handling was changed.
@changelog_1383_li
@changelog_1384_li
The default maximum log stream size is now 2 MB. This is a good value according to some performance tests.
@changelog_1384_li
@changelog_1385_li
New system property "h2.syncMethod" to configure what method to call when closing the database, on checkpoint, and on CHECKPOINT SYNC. The default is "sync" which calls RandomAccessFile.getFD().sync().
@changelog_1385_li
@changelog_1386_li
ROWNUM could not be used for pagination. The follow query returned no rows: select x from (select *, rownum as r from system_range(1, 3)) where r=2;
@changelog_1386_li
@changelog_1387_li
Workaround for a java.sql.Date issue: years above 9999 are not formatted correctly. When calling ResultSet.getString() on a date value, an alternative formatting algorithm is used.
@changelog_1387_li

Version 1.2.132 (2010-03-21)
@changelog_1393_li
@changelog_1394_li
The implementation of a Java to C (source code level) converter has been started. The plan is: it should be possible to convert H2 (or a part of it) to C so that the database can be run without a JVM. This will be a long term project (it may take a year or so).
@changelog_1394_li
@changelog_1395_li
User defined table implementation can now be used using CREATE TABLE ... ENGINE. Thanks to Sergi Vladykin for implementing this feature!

Multi-column indexes where the second or later column was descending did not always produce correct results (rows were missing in the result set, or the result set was empty).
@changelog_1399_li
@changelog_1400_li
When using large transactions or a small log size, the database could get very slow (profiling shows the hotspot is in FileObjectDisk.sync()).

Older versions of H2 (version 1.2.127 and older) could not connect to a new version (version 1.2.129 and newer). The connection blocked when trying to connect. Now the connection no longer blocks, instead a SQL exception is thrown.
@changelog_1408_li
@changelog_1409_li
In versions 1.2.129 and 1.2.130, a database could not be opened sometimes after dropping tables or indexes, and then creating new indexes for existing tables. The exception contained the text "parent not found" (version 1.2.129) or "Table not found" (version 1.2.130).
@changelog_1409_li
@changelog_1410_li
After the database was closed, a null pointer exception could occur in Database.flush.
