New system function TRUNCATE_VALUE to truncate a value to the required precision. This is the same as for CAST, but without changing the data type, and support for truncating decimal values. (The main use case for this function is to build a histogram of the truncated values). Now BINARY, BLOB, and CLOB can be truncated / cast efficiently as well.
Support INSERT INTO TEST SET ID = 1, NAME = 'World' (MySQL compatibility).
@changelog_1003_li
The precision of an ARRAY value is now the sum of the precision of all elements, and result set values have the precision Integer.MAX_VALUE.
Issue 304: The condition [NOT] IN (SELECT ...) could throw the exception "Unexpected code path" if the subquery contained ORDER BY.
@changelog_1004_li
CAST(x AS VARCHAR_IGNORECASE(y) / CHAR(y)) returned a VARCHAR if the new precision was lower than the old precision.

@changelog_1010_li
@changelog_1015_li
A query with an explicit LIMIT 0 will now return no rows (so far it meant no limit), which is compatible with PostgreSQL and MySQL. A negative limit value, (as well as LIMIT NULL) mean no limit (so far a negative limit meant a limit of one row). There were similar problems with OFFSET.
@changelog_1011_li
@changelog_1016_li
A new encrypting file system has been implemented. It is currently experimental, and not included in the main jar file. The idea is to allow encrypting all files, not just database files. Also implemented is a simple file system shell tool. At some point, this might replace the Backup, ChangeFileEncryption, DeleteDbFiles, and Restore tools.

@changelog_1172_li
@changelog_1177_li
In the MySQL mode, SHOW TABLES didn't work, and meta data tables were not case insensitive. Updatable result sets didn't work as expected. Issue 249.
@changelog_1173_li
@changelog_1178_li
Connection-created Clob and Blob objects can now be filled using Clob.setCharacterStream(1), Clob.setString(1, s), Blob.setBytes(1, x), Blob.setBinaryStream(1). Issue 235.

Version 1.2.145 (2010-11-02)
@changelog_1181_li

After closing a database, the writer thread will stop after 100 ms at the latest (instead of 1 second).
@changelog_1183_li
@changelog_1188_li
Opening a large database could fail in theory if the process was killed and then not fully compacted (because the unique transaction log key was re-used).
@changelog_1184_li
@changelog_1189_li
Views now store the schema for Java functions if "functions in schemas" is enabled (system property h2.functionsInSchema).
@changelog_1185_li
@changelog_1190_li
Improved error message if the LOB files are already deleted on the client side.
@changelog_1186_li
@changelog_1191_li
Closing a Statement or PreparedStatement at the same time as executing a statement could throw a strange exception. Issue 241.
@changelog_1187_li
@changelog_1192_li
The Recover tool did not work with compressed lob files (set compress_lob lzf). Also, sometimes the Recover tool was very slow, specially using a 64-bit JVM, because it tried to de-compress lob files even if they were not compressed (which could allocate a lot of memory).
@changelog_1188_li
@changelog_1193_li
H2 Console: webAllowOthers and webSSL were swapped if they didn't exist in the properties file. Issue 244.
@changelog_1189_li
@changelog_1194_li
When the system property h2.lobInDatabase is set, CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT with a LOB column did not always work.
@changelog_1190_li
@changelog_1195_li
Some system properties are not supported any longer, because they can already be set in the database URL. The constants are: CACHE_SIZE_DEFAULT, CACHE_TYPE_DEFAULT, DEFAULT_LOCK_MODE, LOCK_MODE_READ_COMMITTED, DEFAULT_MAX_LENGTH_INPLACE_LOB, DEFAULT_MAX_LENGTH_INPLACE_LOB2, DEFAULT_MAX_MEMORY_UNDO, DEFAULT_MAX_OPERATION_MEMORY, DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE, DEFAULT_RESULT_SET_CONCURRENCY, MIN_WRITE_DELAY.

@changelog_1202_li
MS SQL Server compatibility: support "N" in front of string literals ("National Language" strings). Issue 240.
@changelog_1198_li
@changelog_1203_li
CAST: when converting a string to binary, it is hex encoded (every byte two characters); a hex string can be converted to a number by first converting it to binary. Examples: CAST(CAST('FFFF' AS BINARY) AS INT) = 65535, CAST(65535 AS BINARY) = '0000FFFF'.
@changelog_1199_li
@changelog_1204_li
When a domain (user defined data type) contained a user defined function, the database could not be opened.
@changelog_1200_li
@changelog_1205_li
CAST('011' AS INT) will no longer use decode the value as an octal number (using Integer.decode) but now use Integer.parseInt. The same logic applied to byte, short, and long. This also means that trying to convert hex numbers (0x...) with CAST now fails.
@changelog_1201_li
@changelog_1206_li
A table in the Recover tool script could not be imported if the script contained duplicate keys.
@changelog_1202_h2

@changelog_1205_li
@changelog_1210_li
The index condition columnName IS NULL was not efficient when using a clustered index.
@changelog_1206_li
@changelog_1211_li
The Recover tool did not work for databases larger than 2 GB.
@changelog_1207_li
@changelog_1212_li
In memory database: outer joins with a condition "column is null" could return the wrong result.
@changelog_1208_li
@changelog_1213_li
Temporary files were not created in the temporary directory of the system, but in the current working directory. This affected temporary undo log files for read-only databases, temporary files for large result sets when using read-only databases, and temporary LOB files when storing LOBs in the database (system property h2.lobInDatabase). When the setting h2.lobInDatabase is not set, temporary LOB files are still stored in a sub-directory (.lobs.db/) of the current working directory.
@changelog_1209_li
@changelog_1214_li
New experimental feature to speed up CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT. To enable the feature, set the system property h2.optimizeInsertFromSelect to true. For large queries, performance can be doubled.
@changelog_1210_li
@changelog_1215_li
When LOB objects are stored in the database (using the experimental setting h2.lobInDatabase), and using the MVCC mode, opening a database with uncommitted transactions could throw a NullPointerException.
@changelog_1211_li
@changelog_1216_li
Support of stored procedures with OUT parameters in CallableStatement is implemented.
@changelog_1212_li
@changelog_1217_li

@changelog_1214_li
@changelog_1219_li
Opening and closing encrypted databases is now much faster.
@changelog_1215_li
@changelog_1220_li
H2 Console: new experimental feature to support file download and upload, but only if there is a directory called "transfer" in the current working directory. For security reasons, only very simple file names are supported. Sub-directories are not supported. To upload, use transfer.jsp; to download, use transfer/fileName.

DatabaseMetaData.getJDBCMajorVersion now returns 4 (instead of 3) when the driver is compiled with Java 6 (the default).
@changelog_1219_li
@changelog_1224_li
Re-added the internal utility class BitField which improves performance of opening and closing a database (because it supports setByte / getByte, unlike java.util.BitSet).
@changelog_1220_li
@changelog_1225_li
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SESSIONS: the start time of a SQL statement is no longer set in each case. It is only set for long running statements. This change should improve performance a bit on some devices, specially when using Android.
@changelog_1221_li
@changelog_1226_li
A old databases without user name and password (created with H2 version 1.2.142 or older) couldn't be opened with version 1.2.143. Fixed.

@changelog_1235_li
@changelog_1240_li
Statement.cancel() could cause a NullPointerException.
@changelog_1236_li
@changelog_1241_li
In some cases (specially when using a small cache size or a large database over 1 GB) for some operations like ALTER TABLE the data was written before the transaction log entries, which could cause a corrupt database if the process was killed during the ALTER TABLE operation. Thanks a lot to Victor Pyankov for helping solve this problem!
@changelog_1237_li
@changelog_1242_li
The Recover tool could throw a ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when trying to recover a corrupt database file.
@changelog_1238_li
@changelog_1243_li
The SCRIPT command and tool now uses the default file encoding for the system now instead of UTF-8 (as before). In most cases, this will not affect existing applications, as the encoding only affects how SQL identifiers (table names and so on) that contain special characters are stored. Table data is escaped, and therefore is no problem.
@changelog_1239_li
@changelog_1244_li
The SCRIPT command and tool now also support the CHARSET option (like RUNSCRIPT).
@changelog_1240_li
@changelog_1245_li
When closing a database, sometimes empty space in the database was not freed up.
@changelog_1241_li
@changelog_1246_li
Trying to create a view with parameters in the query will now throw an exception. So far, creating the view was allowed, but the parameter value was not used (null was used instead).
@changelog_1242_li
@changelog_1247_li
New experimental feature SHUTDOWN DEFRAG. This option re-orders the pages while closing the database so that table scans are faster.
@changelog_1243_li
@changelog_1248_li
When using the MULTI_THREADED option, concurrently reading from a database (specially from a larger database, or when using a small cache size) could throw an exception.
@changelog_1244_li
@changelog_1249_li
When adding a comment to a column that has a check constraint, the database couldn't be re-opened.
@changelog_1245_li
@changelog_1250_li
New system property h2.lobClientMaxSizeMemory to set the maximum size of a LOB object to keep in memory on the client side when using the server mode.

@changelog_1254_li
The jar files are now about 50 KB smaller. In the last few versions they contained superfluous classes.
@changelog_1250_li
@changelog_1255_li
The default time to compact a database when closing (system property h2.maxCompactTime) is now 0.2 seconds instead of 1 second.
@changelog_1251_li
@changelog_1256_li
Opening an closing a database is now faster.
@changelog_1252_li
@changelog_1257_li
In theory, when using indexes with large index rows (or when using a very small page size), removing rows could throw an internal exception in some cases.
@changelog_1253_li
@changelog_1258_li
Inserting rows in reverse order could throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in some cases (specially rows larger than the page size, which is 2 KB by default). Issue 226.
@changelog_1254_li
@changelog_1259_li
H2 Console: with Chrome and Safari, resizing the table/query frame doesn't work. Issue 225.
@changelog_1255_li
@changelog_1260_li
New experimental database file locking mechanism "FS" to use native file locking (no *.lock.db file is created in this case, and no background thread is started). This mechanism may not work on all systems (on some systems it's possible to lock the same file multiple times within the same virtual machine, and on some system native file locking is not working or unlocking is not working).
@changelog_1256_h2
@changelog_1261_h2
Version 1.2.141 (2010-08-22)
@changelog_1257_li
@changelog_1262_li
New experimental pseudo-encryption algorithm "FOG". It makes the data appear to be encrypted. This algorithm is cryptographically extremely weak, and should only be used to hide data from reading the plain text using a text editor. Please let us know if you think this is useful or not.
@changelog_1258_li
@changelog_1263_li
Documentation: the grammar and function documentation can now be easier translated.
@changelog_1259_li
@changelog_1264_li
Password hash: in addition to connecting with the plain text password, H2 now supports connecting with the password hash. Like this you don't have to store plain text passwords in config files. For details, see the documentation at Advanced / Password Hash.
@changelog_1260_li
@changelog_1265_li
Lucene 3.x support was added in the source code, however it is not yet enabled by default and is not yet supported when using the default h2 jar file. To enable Lucene 3.x support, the source code of H2 needs to be switched using <code>./build.sh -Dlucene=3 switchSource</code>, and then re-compile. To switch the source code back use <code>./build.sh -Dlucene=2 switchSource</code> (replace ./build.sh with build.bat on Windows). The plan is to use Lucene 3 by default in H2 version 1.3.x. Issue 147.

CREATE FORCE VIEW didn't work in most cases if a referenced table didn't exist.
@changelog_1263_li
@changelog_1268_li
MVCC: when trying to insert two rows with the same key from two connections, the second connection immediately threw the exception "Unique index or primary key violation". Instead, the second connection now waits throwing the exception until the first connection committed the change (same as when trying to concurrently update the same row).
@changelog_1264_li
@changelog_1269_li
Server mode: if the client ran with a different timezone setting than the server, date values got shifted by the difference between the timezones. This problem affected the data types DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP, when using PreparedStatement.setDate / setTime / setTimestamp and ResultSet.getDate / getTime / getTimestamp. To solve the problem, both the client and the server need to be updated (otherwise the old transfer protocol is used).

Only resources that are actually used are loaded in memory. This can reduce the memory usage by about 400 KB.
@changelog_1278_li
@changelog_1283_li
Profiling: the jar file can now be installed as an agent using java -javaagent:h2*.jar - this was be used to more accurately calculate the memory footprint of the cache. It has no effect when using H2 (using this feature in an application is not needed and not recommended).
@changelog_1279_li
@changelog_1284_li
The cache was not used efficiently when reading (behaving like a FIFO cache instead of an LRU cache).
@changelog_1280_li
@changelog_1285_li
Storing lobs in the database has been changed. It is now faster. Unfortunately, the change is not backward compatible; if you have used h2.lobInDatabase before you will need to re-build the database.

@changelog_1292_li
For improved performance, LOG=0 and LOG=1 are again supported. LOG=0 means the transaction log is disabled completely (fastest; for loading a database). LOG=1 means the transaction log is enabled, but FileDescriptor.sync is disabled (if no protection against power failure is required). LOG=2 is the default (transaction log is enabled, FileDescriptor.sync for each checkpoint).

Memory mapped files: There was a bug in version 1.2.139 so that memory mapped files could only be used together with split, for example: split:nioMapped: - the problem is now solved. It is still a good idea to use split:nioMapped: to work around the 2 GB limitation of memory mapped files.
@changelog_1300_li
@changelog_1305_li
Memory mapped files: the system property h2.nioCleanerHack is now disabled by default because it was not always working as expected. Now System.gc() is used in a loop until the buffer is garbage collected. This of course is also not a nice solution, but the only one known to work.

Bugfixes for the automatic 1.1 db migration.
@changelog_1302_li
@changelog_1307_li
If an old 1.1 database file version is found on connect, it is now possible to let the old h2 classes (v 1.2.128) connect to the database. The automatic upgrade .jar file must be present, and the url must contain NO_UPGRADE=TRUE
@changelog_1303_li
@changelog_1308_li
The automatic upgrade temporary script file is now encrypted.

Memory mapped file system: improved error messages if there is a problem.
@changelog_1308_li
@changelog_1313_li
The Lucene fulltext search did not work well when using special file systems such as split or nioMapped.
@changelog_1309_li
@changelog_1314_li
The memory mapped file system (nioMapped: file prefix) couldn't seek past the file length.
@changelog_1310_li
@changelog_1315_li
Some file system operations did not work with stacked file systems (for example split and nioMapped). This also affected the DeleteDbFiles tool.
@changelog_1311_li
@changelog_1316_li
New experimental query cache. The cache is only used if the SQL statement and all parameters match. Each session has it's own cache with the given size. Only the last returned result per query is cached. Only SELECT statements are cached (excluding UNION and FOR UPDATE statements). This works for both statements and prepared statement. To enable, set the system property h2.commandCacheSize to a value larger than 0. There is currently no plan to enable this option by default in future versions.
@changelog_1312_li
@changelog_1317_li
Conditions with many OR operations could throw an UnsupportedOperationException if h2.optimizeOr was enabled.

MULTI_THREADED did not work correctly and could throw the exception "try to add a record twice" for larger databases because cache access was not correctly synchronized.
@changelog_1315_li
@changelog_1320_li
Automatic database upgrade from non page store is now possible. If the classes from the h2mig_pagestore_addon.jar file are in the classpath, the database will be converted to the current page store format automatically.

ODBC: MS Access could not link to a table with unique index or primary key. To solve this problem, index meta data is currently disabled for ODBC. When using the new H2 version to access a database over ODBC, the PostgreSQL catalog is automatically upgraded. Using a database with an upgraded PostgreSQL catalog with an older version of H2 is still possible, but not over ODBC.

New system property h2.dropRestrict (default false) to change the default action for DROP TABLE and DROP VIEW (false for CASCADE, true for RESTRICT). The plan is to enable this property by default in version 1.3.x.
@changelog_1322_li
@changelog_1327_li
DROP TABLE now also supports CASCADE (still the default) and RESTRICT.

@changelog_1329_li
@changelog_1334_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.

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_1341_li
@changelog_1346_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_1342_li
@changelog_1347_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_1343_li
@changelog_1348_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.

Conditions of the form columnName IS NULL now use an index. To disable this feature, set the system property h2.optimizeIsNull to false.
@changelog_1356_li
@changelog_1361_li
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).
@changelog_1357_li

The BOM (the byte-order-mark) character 0xfeff at the beginning of the file is ignored. This is for compatibility with Microsoft Excel.
@changelog_1359_li
@changelog_1364_li
When opening an existing database, the cache size is set to at most half the amount of memory available for the virtual machine (Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory()), even if the cache size setting stored in the database is larger. Setting the cache size in the database URL or explicitly using SET CACHE_SIZE overrides this value (even if larger than the physical memory).
@changelog_1360_li
@changelog_1365_li
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS: the cache size is now returned in KB.
@changelog_1361_li
@changelog_1366_li
New system property h2.selectForUpdateMvcc, the default is false (the feature is disabled). When enabled, SELECT ... FOR UPDATE only locks the selected rows in the MVCC mode. Aggregate or GROUP BY queries are not allowed in this case.

There was a possible Java level deadlock when opening an uninitialized database and using a file system that also opened a database.
@changelog_1376_li
@changelog_1381_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_1377_li

File system: new method FileSystem.setReadOnly.
@changelog_1378_li
@changelog_1383_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_1379_li
@changelog_1384_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_1380_li
@changelog_1385_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_1381_li
@changelog_1386_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_1382_li
@changelog_1387_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_1383_li
@changelog_1388_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_1384_li
@changelog_1389_li
SET EXCLUSIVE now supports 0 (disable), 1 (enable), and 2 (enable and close all other connections).
@changelog_1385_li
@changelog_1390_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_1386_li
@changelog_1391_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_1387_li
@changelog_1392_li
The CreateCluster tool now sets the source database in exclusive mode before copying data to the new database.
@changelog_1388_li
@changelog_1393_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_1389_li
@changelog_1394_li
The H2 Console did not call the CreateCluster tool with the correctly escaped parameters.
@changelog_1390_li
@changelog_1395_li
Improved PostgreSQL compatibility for ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN.
@changelog_1391_li
@changelog_1396_li
Commas at the end of INSERT ... VALUES (), (), are now supported.
@changelog_1392_li
@changelog_1397_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_1393_li
@changelog_1398_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_1394_li
@changelog_1399_li
Global temporary tables are now deleted when closing the database. Before, they were deleted when opening the database the next time.
@changelog_1395_li
@changelog_1400_li
UNIQUE was not listed as a keyword.
@changelog_1396_li
@changelog_1401_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_1397_li
@changelog_1402_li
For some queries, the exception did not include the SQL statement. Example: select x from system_range(1, 2) group by 'a'.
@changelog_1398_li
@changelog_1403_li
The Shell tool will execute SQL statements passed as using the command line parameter -sql.
@changelog_1399_li
@changelog_1404_li

@changelog_1412_li
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN: changing the data type of a column no longer makes it nullable.
@changelog_1408_li
@changelog_1413_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_1409_li

@changelog_1411_li
@changelog_1416_li
REPLACE: if any parameter is null, the result is null.
@changelog_1412_li
@changelog_1417_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_1413_li
@changelog_1418_li
The new statement EXPLAIN ANALYZE executes the statement, and displays the query plan with the actual row scan count for each table.
@changelog_1414_li
@changelog_1419_li
H2 Console: the auto-complete feature didn't quote column names that need quoting. Issue 186.
@changelog_1415_li
@changelog_1420_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_1416_li
@changelog_1421_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_1417_li
@changelog_1422_li
Filesystem parameters like "split:" didn't work in server mode with baseDir set.
@changelog_1418_li
@changelog_1423_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.

@changelog_1424_h2
Version 1.2.133 (2010-04-10)
@changelog_1420_li
@changelog_1425_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_1421_li
@changelog_1426_li
The Shell tool threw a NumberFormatException on a empty statement.
@changelog_1422_li
@changelog_1427_li
The h2small-*.jar did not support "drop all objects delete files". Now it is supported (the DeleteDbFiles tool is now included).

Operations that don't fit in memory are now faster. Temporary file handling was changed.
@changelog_1424_li
@changelog_1429_li
The default maximum log stream size is now 2 MB. This is a good value according to some performance tests.
@changelog_1425_li
@changelog_1430_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_1426_li
@changelog_1431_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_1427_li
@changelog_1432_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_1428_li
@changelog_1433_li
Prepared statements with nested subqueries did not always return the correct result. Example: select ?, ?, (select count(*) from test t, (select id from test where 0=?) t2 where t2.id=t.id) from test

Version 1.2.132 (2010-03-21)
@changelog_1434_li
@changelog_1439_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_1435_li
@changelog_1440_li
User defined table implementation can now be used using CREATE TABLE ... ENGINE. Thanks to Sergi Vladykin for implementing this feature!

The MERGE statement is now about 30% faster when using a PreparedStatement.
@changelog_1439_li
@changelog_1444_li
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_1440_li
@changelog_1445_li
When using large transactions or a small log size, the database could get very slow (profiling shows the hotspot is in FileObjectDisk.sync()).
@changelog_1441_li
