Support for not persistent in-memory tables in regular (persistent) databases
@changelog_1003_h2
Version 1.1.110 (2009-04-03)
@changelog_1004_li
Support for not persistent in-memory tables in regular (persistent) databases using CREATE MEMORY TABLE(..) NOT PERSISTENT. Thanks a lot to Sergi Vladykin for the patch!
@changelog_1003_li
@changelog_1005_li
The H2 Console trimmed the password (removed leading and trailing spaces). This is no longer the case, to support encrypted H2 database with an empty user password.
@changelog_1004_li
@changelog_1006_li
The data type of a SUBSTRING method was wrong.
@changelog_1005_li
@changelog_1007_li
ResultSet.findColumn and get methods with column label parameters now also check for matching column names (like most databases except MySQL).
@changelog_1006_li
@changelog_1008_li
H2 Console: the browser system property now supports a list of arguments. Example: java -Dh2.browser="open,-a,Safari,%url" ...
@changelog_1007_li
@changelog_1009_li
Improved Javadoc navigation (similar to Scaladoc).
@changelog_1008_li
@changelog_1010_li
H2 Console: auto-complete of identifiers did not work correctly for H2 databases in MySQL mode.
@changelog_1009_li
@changelog_1011_li
DISTINCT and GROUP BY on a CLOB column was broken.
@changelog_1010_li
@changelog_1012_li
The FTP server moved to the tools section and is no longer included in the h2*.jar file.
@changelog_1011_li
@changelog_1013_li
Improved error message for unsupported features: now the message says what exactly is not supported.
@changelog_1012_li
@changelog_1014_li
Improved OSGi support.
@changelog_1013_li
@changelog_1015_li
Some internal caches did not use the LRU mechanism. Fixed (LOB file list, optimizer cost cache, trace system, view indexes, collection keys, compressed in-memory file system).
@changelog_1014_li
@changelog_1016_li
The API of the tools changed a bit (each tool now returns an exit code).
@changelog_1015_li
@changelog_1017_li
Command line help of the tools now match the javadocs. The build converts the javadocs to a resource that is read by the tool at runtime. This should not have an effect on using the database, but it reduces duplicate and out-of-sync documentation.
@changelog_1016_li
@changelog_1018_li
CREATE TABLE: improved compatibility (support for UNIQUE NOT NULL).
@changelog_1017_li
@changelog_1019_li
DatabaseMetaData.getSQLKeywords now returns the correct list.
@changelog_1018_li
@changelog_1020_li
Deterministic user defined functions did not work when the parameter was a column. Fixed.
@changelog_1019_li
@changelog_1021_li
JdbcConnectionPool.setLoginTimeout with 0 now uses the default timeout.
@changelog_1020_li
@changelog_1022_li
Creating a JdbcConnectionPool has been simplified a bit.
@changelog_1021_li
@changelog_1023_li
The built-in connection pool did not re-use connections. Getting a connection using the built-in JdbcConnectionPool is now about 70 times faster than opening connections using DriverManager.getConnection.
@changelog_1022_li
@changelog_1024_li
More bugs in the server-less multi-connection mode have been fixed: If a process terminated while writing, other open connections were blocked. If two processes were writing to the database, sometimes the database was corrupt after closing.
@changelog_1023_li
@changelog_1025_li
Linked tables to SQLite database can now be created.
@changelog_1024_li
@changelog_1026_li
Nested IN(IN(...)) didn't work.
@changelog_1025_li
@changelog_1027_li
NIO storage: the nio: prefix was using memory mapped files instead of FileChannel.
@changelog_1026_h2
@changelog_1028_h2
Version 1.1.109 (2009-03-14)
@changelog_1027_li
@changelog_1029_li
The optimization for IN(...) is now only used if comparing a column with an index.
@changelog_1028_li
@changelog_1030_li
User defined functions can now be deterministic (see CREATE ALIAS documentation).
@changelog_1029_li
@changelog_1031_li
Multiple nested queries in the FROM clause with parameters did not always work.
@changelog_1030_li
@changelog_1032_li
When converting CLOB to BINARY, each character resulted in one byte. Now, the text is parsed as a hex as when converting VARCHAR.
@changelog_1031_li
@changelog_1033_li
New experimental NIO storage mechanism with both FileChannel and memory mapped files. To use it, use the file name prefix nio: or nioMapped: as in jdbc:h2:nio:~/test. So far it looks like NIO storage is faster on Mac OS but slower on some Windows systems. Thanks a lot to Jan Kotek for the patch!
@changelog_1032_li
@changelog_1034_li
The functions BITOR, BITAND, BITXOR, and MOD now accept and return BIGINT instead of INT.
@changelog_1033_li
@changelog_1035_li
Could not use the same linked table multiple times in the same query.
@changelog_1034_li
@changelog_1036_li
Bugs in the server-less multi-connection mode have been fixed.
@changelog_1035_li
@changelog_1037_li
Column names could not be named "UNIQUE" (with the quotes).
@changelog_1036_li
@changelog_1038_li
New system function TRANSACTION_ID() to get the current transaction identifier for a session.
@changelog_1037_h2
@changelog_1039_h2
Version 1.1.108 (2009-02-28)
@changelog_1038_li
@changelog_1040_li
When the shutdown hook closed the database, the last log file was deleted too early. This could cause uncommitted changes to be persisted.
@changelog_1039_li
@changelog_1041_li
JdbcConnectionPool: it was possible to set a negative connection pool size.
@changelog_1040_li
@changelog_1042_li
Fulltext search did not support table names with a backslash.
@changelog_1041_li
@changelog_1043_li
The internal IntArray class did not work correctly when initialized with a zero length array.
@changelog_1042_li
@changelog_1044_li
The H2 Console web application (war file) did only support ASCII characters. Now UTF-8 is supported.
@changelog_1043_li
@changelog_1045_li
DATEADD does no longer require that the argument is a timestamp.
@changelog_1044_li
@changelog_1046_li
The database file locking mechanism didn't work correctly on Mac OS.
@changelog_1045_li
@changelog_1047_li
Some built-in functions reported the wrong precision, scale, and display size.
@changelog_1046_li
@changelog_1048_li
MySQL compatibility for CREATE TABLE is improved (UNSIGNED, KEY).
@changelog_1047_li
@changelog_1049_li
Recovery did not work if there were more than 255 lobs stored as files.
@changelog_1048_li
@changelog_1050_li
New experimental mode to support multiple read-write connections without starting a server. To enable this mode, append ;FILE_LOCK=SERIALIZED;OPEN_NEW=TRUE to the database URL. Don't expect high performance when multiple concurrent writers.
@changelog_1049_li
@changelog_1051_li
In a web application, the database classes are not unloaded if a connection is open. This may cause out of memory when re-deploying a web application. The DbStarter is changed to close all connections to the configured database (by executing SHUTDOWN).
@changelog_1050_li
@changelog_1052_li
The WebServlet did not close the database when un-deploying the web application.
@changelog_1051_li
@changelog_1053_li
The exception message of failed INSERT or MERGE statements now includes all values and the row number.
@changelog_1052_li
@changelog_1054_li
If opening a database failed with an out of memory exception, some files were not closed.
@changelog_1053_li
@changelog_1055_li
Optimizer: the expected runtime calculation was incorrect. The fixed calculation should give slightly better query plans when using many joins.
@changelog_1054_li
@changelog_1056_li
Improved exception message when connecting to a just started server fails.
@changelog_1055_li
@changelog_1057_li
Connection.isValid is a bit faster.
@changelog_1056_li
@changelog_1058_li
H2 Console: The autocomplete feature has been improved a bit. It can now better parse conditions.
@changelog_1057_li
@changelog_1059_li
When restarting a web application in Tomcat, an exception was thrown sometimes. In most cases this was a NullPointerException. A workaround in H2 has been implemented. The root cause of the problem is now documented in the FAQ: Tomcat sets all static fields (final or non-final) to null when unloading a web application. A workaround is to put the h2.jar in the lib directory, or set the system property org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.ENABLE_CLEAR_REFERENCES to false.
@changelog_1058_h2
@changelog_1060_h2
Version 1.1.107 (2009-01-24)

@changelog_1062_li
@changelog_1064_li
In versions 1.1.105 and 1.1.106, encrypted script files of earlier versions could not be processed. This is now again possible. The problem was that such script files were stored in a special format (STORAGE=TEXT) but support for this format was removed in version 1.1.105.
@changelog_1063_li
@changelog_1065_li
Enabling the trace mechanism by creating a specially named file is no longer supported.

@changelog_1069_li
Linked tables: a workaround for Oracle DATE columns has been implemented.
@changelog_1068_li
@changelog_1070_li
DatabaseMetaData.getPrimaryKeys: The column PK_NAME now contains the constraint name instead of the index name (compatibility for PostgreSQL and Derby).
@changelog_1069_li
@changelog_1071_li
Using IN(..) inside a IN(SELECT..) did not always work.
@changelog_1070_li

Union queries with LIMIT or ORDER BY that are used in a view or subquery did not work.
@changelog_1072_li
@changelog_1074_li

@changelog_1073_li
@changelog_1075_li
Constraints for local temporary tables now session scoped. So far they were global. Thanks a lot to Eric Faulhaber for finding and fixing this problem!
@changelog_1074_li
@changelog_1076_li
When using the auto-server mode, and if the lock file was modified in the future, the wrong exception was thrown ('Connection is broken' instead of 'Error opening database: Lock file modified in the future').

Natural join: the joined columns are not repeated any more when using SELECT *.
@changelog_1082_li
@changelog_1084_li
User defined aggregate functions: the method getType expected internal data types instead of SQL types.

@changelog_1098_li
JaQu: tables are now auto-created when running a query.
@changelog_1097_li
@changelog_1099_li
The optimizer had problems with function tables (for example CSVREAD and FTL_SEARCH). A new system property h2.estimatedFunctionTableRows (default 1000) defines how many rows can be expected in the table.
@changelog_1098_li
@changelog_1100_li
The function SUM could overflow when using large values. It returns now a data type that is safe.
@changelog_1099_li
@changelog_1101_li
The function AVG could overflow when using large values. Fixed.
@changelog_1100_li
@changelog_1102_li
The emergency reserve file has been removed. It didn't provide an appropriate solution for the problem. It is still possible for an application to detect and deal with the low disk space problem (deleting temporary files for example) using DatabaseEventListener.diskSpaceIsLow, but this method is now always called with stillAvailable=0.
@changelog_1101_li
@changelog_1103_li
Build: JAVA_HOME is now automatically detected on Mac OS X.
@changelog_1102_li

The Windows service to start H2 didn't work in version 1.1.
@changelog_1110_li
@changelog_1112_li
File systems with a maximum file size (for example FAT) are now supported using the file prefix 'split:'. In this case the files are split in parts of 1 GB. Example URL: jdbc:h2:split:~/db/test. If you want to split into parts of 1 MB, use jdbc:h2:split:20:~/db/test (the part size is 1 << x, the default is 30 meaning 1 GB).
@changelog_1111_li
@changelog_1113_li
The database now tries to detect if the classloader or virtual machine has almost shut down by checking if static final variables are set to null. This should help reduce exceptions when stopping the web application.
@changelog_1112_li
@changelog_1114_li
Compatibility for MS SQL Server DATEDIFF(YYYY, .., ..)
@changelog_1113_li
@changelog_1115_li
ResultSet.getObject for CLOB or BLOB will return a java.sql.Clob / java.sql.Blob object instead of a java.io.Reader / java.io.InputStream as in version 1.0. This behavior can be changed using the system property h2.returnLobObjects (true by default for version 1.1).

Date values that match the daylight saving time end were not allowed in times zones were the daylight saving time ends at midnight, for years larger than 2037. Example: timezone Brasilia, date 2042-10-12. This is a problem of Java, however a workaround is implemented in H2 that solves most problems (except the problems of java.util.Date itself).

Large objects did not work for in-memory databases in server mode in Linux.
@changelog_1175_li
@changelog_1177_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_1176_li
@changelog_1178_li
The h2console.war can now be built using the Java build.
@changelog_1177_li
@changelog_1179_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_1178_li
@changelog_1180_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_1179_li
@changelog_1181_li
CreateCluster: the property 'serverlist' is now called 'serverList'.
@changelog_1180_li
@changelog_1182_li
The ConvertTraceFile tool could not parse some files because the trace mechanism did not encode prepared statement parameters.
@changelog_1181_li

Version 1.0.79 (2008-09-26)
@changelog_1183_li
@changelog_1185_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_1184_li
@changelog_1186_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_1185_li
@changelog_1187_li
The server tool now displays the correct IP address if networked.
@changelog_1186_li

@changelog_1308_li
@changelog_1310_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).

The code switch tool has been replaced by a simpler tool called SwitchSource that just uses find and replace.
@changelog_1317_li
@changelog_1319_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_1318_li
@changelog_1320_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_1319_li
@changelog_1321_li
Added shell scripts run.sh and build.sh. chmod +x is required, but otherwise it should work. Feedback or improvements are welcome!

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_1335_li
@changelog_1337_li
New system property h2.sortNullsHigh to invert the default sorting behavior for NULL. The default didn't change.
@changelog_1336_li

@changelog_1339_li
ALTER TABLE or CREATE TABLE now support parameters for the password field.
@changelog_1338_li
@changelog_1340_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_1339_li
@changelog_1341_li
TRACE_LEVEL_ settings are no longer persistent. This was a problem when database initialization code caused a lot of trace output.

The performance of text comparison has been improved when using locale sensitive string comparison (SET COLLATOR). Now CollationKey is used with a LRU cache. The default cache size is 10000, and can be changed using the system property h2.collatorCacheSize. Use 0 to disable the cache.
@changelog_1371_li
@changelog_1373_li
UPDATE SET column=DEFAULT is now supported.

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_1382_li
@changelog_1384_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_1383_li
@changelog_1385_li
The value cache is now a soft reference cache. This should help save memory.
@changelog_1384_li
@changelog_1386_li

@changelog_1402_li
@changelog_1404_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_1403_li
@changelog_1405_li
The exception "Hexadecimal string contains non-hex character" was not always thrown when it should have been. Fixed.
@changelog_1404_li

The H2 Console now provides a link to the documentation when an error occurs (H2 databases only so far).
@changelog_1405_li
@changelog_1407_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_1406_li
@changelog_1408_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_1407_li
@changelog_1409_li
For compatibility with other databases the column default (COLUMN_DEF) for columns without default is now null (it was an empty string).
@changelog_1408_li
@changelog_1410_li
Statements that contain very large subqueries (where the subquery result does not fit in memory) are now faster.
@changelog_1409_li
@changelog_1411_li
Variables: large objects (CLOB and BLOB) that don't fit in memory did not work correctly when used as variables.

@changelog_1412_li
Fulltext search is now supported in named in-memory databases.
@changelog_1411_li
@changelog_1413_li
