All other statements return an update count. advanced_1036_h3=Limiting the Number of Rows advanced_1037_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 <code>LIMIT</code> in a query (example\: <code>SELECT * FROM TEST LIMIT 100</code>), or by using <code>Statement.setMaxRows(max)</code>. advanced_1038_h3=Large Result Sets and External Sorting advanced_1039_p=\ For large result set, the result is buffered to disk. The threshold can be defined using the statement <code>SET MAX_MEMORY_ROWS</code>. If <code>ORDER BY</code> 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_1040_h2=Large Objects advanced_1041_h3=Storing and Reading Large Objects advanced_1042_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 <code>PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream</code>. To store a CLOB, use <code>PreparedStatement.setCharacterStream</code>. To read a BLOB, use <code>ResultSet.getBinaryStream</code>, and to read a CLOB, use <code>ResultSet.getCharacterStream</code>. When using the client/server mode, large BLOB and CLOB data is stored in a temporary file on the client side. advanced_1043_h3=When to use CLOB/BLOB advanced_1044_p=\ This database stores large LOB (CLOB and BLOB) objects as separate files. Small LOB objects are stored in-place, the threshold can be set using <a href\="grammar.html\#set_max_length_inplace_lob" class\="notranslate" >MAX_LENGTH_INPLACE_LOB</a>, but there is still an overhead to use CLOB/BLOB. Because of this, BLOB and CLOB should never be used for columns with a maximum size below about 200 bytes. The best threshold depends on the use case; reading in-place objects is faster than reading from separate files, but slows down the performance of operations that don't involve this column. advanced_1045_h3=Large Object Compression advanced_1046_p=\ CLOB and BLOB values can be compressed by using <a href\="grammar.html\#set_compress_lob" class\="notranslate" >SET COMPRESS_LOB</a>. The LZF algorithm is faster but needs more disk space. By default compression is disabled, which usually speeds up write operations. If you store many large compressible values such as XML, HTML, text, and uncompressed binary files, then compressing can save a lot of disk space (sometimes more than 50%), and read operations may even be faster. advanced_1047_h2=Linked Tables advanced_1048_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 <code>CREATE LINKED TABLE</code> statement\: advanced_1049_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_1050_p=\ To view the statements that are executed against the target table, set the trace level to 3. advanced_1051_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 <code>h2.shareLinkedConnections\=false</code>. advanced_1052_p=\ The statement <a href\="grammar.html\#create_linked_table" class\="notranslate" >CREATE LINKED TABLE</a> supports an optional schema name parameter. advanced_1053_h2=Transaction Isolation advanced_1054_p=\ Transaction isolation is provided for all data manipulation language (DML) statements. Most data definition language (DDL) statements commit the current transaction. See the <a href\="grammar.html">Grammar</a> for details. advanced_1055_p=\ This database supports the following transaction isolation levels\: advanced_1056_b=Read Committed advanced_1057_li=\ This is the default level. Read locks are released immediately after executing the statement, but write locks are kept until the transaction commits. Higher concurrency is possible when using this level. advanced_1058_li=\ To enable, execute the SQL statement <code>SET LOCK_MODE 3</code> advanced_1059_li=\ or append <code>;LOCK_MODE\=3</code> to the database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOCK_MODE\=3</code> advanced_1060_b=Serializable advanced_1061_li=\ Both read locks and write locks are kept until the transaction commits. To enable, execute the SQL statement <code>SET LOCK_MODE 1</code> advanced_1062_li=\ or append <code>;LOCK_MODE\=1</code> to the database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOCK_MODE\=1</code> advanced_1063_b=Read Uncommitted advanced_1064_li=\ This level means that transaction isolation is disabled. advanced_1065_li=\ To enable, execute the SQL statement <code>SET LOCK_MODE 0</code> advanced_1066_li=\ or append <code>;LOCK_MODE\=0</code> to the database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOCK_MODE\=0</code> advanced_1067_p=\ When using the isolation level 'serializable', dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantom reads are prohibited. advanced_1068_b=Dirty Reads advanced_1069_li=\ Means a connection can read uncommitted changes made by another connection. advanced_1070_li=\ Possible with\: read uncommitted advanced_1071_b=Non-Repeatable Reads advanced_1072_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_1073_li=\ Possible with\: read uncommitted, read committed advanced_1074_b=Phantom Reads advanced_1075_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_1076_li=\ Possible with\: read uncommitted, read committed advanced_1077_h3=Table Level Locking advanced_1078_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. When a lock is released, and multiple connections are waiting for it, one of them is picked at random. advanced_1079_h3=Lock Timeout advanced_1080_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_1081_h2=Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) advanced_1082_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 <code>SELECT ... FOR UPDATE</code>. 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, the database waits until it can apply the change, but at most until the lock timeout expires. advanced_1083_p=\ To use the MVCC feature, append <code>;MVCC\=TRUE</code> to the database URL\: advanced_1084_p=\ MVCC is disabled by default. The MVCC feature is not fully tested yet. The limitations of the MVCC mode are\: it can not be used at the same time as <code>MULTI_THREADED\=TRUE</code>; the complete undo log must fit in memory when using multi-version concurrency (the setting <code>MAX_MEMORY_UNDO</code> has no effect). It is not possible to enable or disable this setting while the database is already open. The setting must be specified in the first connection (the one that opens the database). advanced_1085_h2=Clustering / High Availability advanced_1086_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_1087_p=\ Clustering can only be used in the server mode (the embedded mode does not support clustering). The cluster can be re-created using the <code>CreateCluster</code> tool without stopping the remaining server. Applications that are still connected are automatically disconnected, however when appending <code>;AUTO_RECONNECT\=TRUE</code>, they will recover from that. advanced_1088_p=\ To initialize the cluster, use the following steps\: advanced_1089_li=Create a database advanced_1090_li=Use the <code>CreateCluster</code> tool to copy the database to another location and initialize the clustering. Afterwards, you have two databases containing the same data. advanced_1091_li=Start two servers (one for each copy of the database) advanced_1092_li=You are now ready to connect to the databases with the client application(s) advanced_1093_h3=Using the CreateCluster Tool advanced_1094_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_1095_li=Create two directories\: <code>server1, server2</code>. Each directory will simulate a directory on a computer. advanced_1096_li=Start a TCP server pointing to the first directory. You can do this using the command line\: advanced_1097_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_1098_li=Use the <code>CreateCluster</code> 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_1099_li=You can now connect to the databases using an application or the H2 Console using the JDBC URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost\:9101,localhost\:9102/~/test</code> advanced_1100_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_1101_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 <code>CreateCluster</code> tool. advanced_1102_h3=Detect Which Cluster Instances are Running advanced_1103_p=\ To find out which cluster nodes are currently running, execute the following SQL statement\: advanced_1104_p=\ If the result is <code>''</code> (two single quotes), then the cluster mode is disabled. Otherwise, the list of servers is returned, enclosed in single quote. Example\: <code>'server1\:9191,server2\:9191'</code>. advanced_1105_h3=Clustering Algorithm and Limitations advanced_1106_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\: <code>RANDOM_UUID(), SECURE_RAND(), SESSION_ID(), MEMORY_FREE(), MEMORY_USED(), CSVREAD(), CSVWRITE(), RAND()</code> [when not using a seed]. Those functions should not be used directly in modifying statements (for example <code>INSERT, UPDATE, MERGE</code>). However, they can be used in read-only statements and the result can then be used for modifying statements. advanced_1107_p=\ When using the cluster modes, result sets are read fully in memory by the client, so that there is no problem if the server dies that executed the query. Result sets must fit in memory on the client side. advanced_1108_p=\ The SQL statement <code>SET AUTOCOMMIT FALSE</code> is not supported in the cluster mode. To disable autocommit, the method <code>Connection.setAutoCommit(false)</code> needs to be called. advanced_1109_h2=Two Phase Commit advanced_1110_p=\ The two phase commit protocol is supported. 2-phase-commit works as follows\: advanced_1111_li=Autocommit needs to be switched off advanced_1112_li=A transaction is started, for example by inserting a row advanced_1113_li=The transaction is marked 'prepared' by executing the SQL statement <code>PREPARE COMMIT transactionName</code> advanced_1114_li=The transaction can now be committed or rolled back advanced_1115_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_1116_li=When re-connecting to the database, the in-doubt transactions can be listed with <code>SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.IN_DOUBT</code> advanced_1117_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_1118_li=The database needs to be closed and re-opened to apply the changes advanced_1119_h2=Compatibility advanced_1120_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_1121_h3=Transaction Commit when Autocommit is On advanced_1122_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_1123_h3=Keywords / Reserved Words advanced_1124_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_1125_code=\ CROSS, CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, DISTINCT, EXCEPT, EXISTS, FALSE, FOR, FROM, FULL, GROUP, HAVING, INNER, INTERSECT, IS, JOIN, LIKE, LIMIT, MINUS, NATURAL, NOT, NULL, ON, ORDER, PRIMARY, ROWNUM, SELECT, SYSDATE, SYSTIME, SYSTIMESTAMP, TODAY, TRUE, UNION, UNIQUE, WHERE advanced_1126_p=\ Certain words of this list are keywords because they are functions that can be used without '()' for compatibility, for example <code>CURRENT_TIMESTAMP</code>. advanced_1127_h2=Standards Compliance advanced_1128_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_1129_h2=Run as Windows Service advanced_1130_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 <a href\="http\://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org">Tanuki Software, Inc.</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 <code>h2/service</code>. advanced_1131_h3=Install the Service advanced_1132_p=\ The service needs to be registered as a Windows Service first. To do that, double click on <code>1_install_service.bat</code>. If successful, a command prompt window will pop up and disappear immediately. If not, a message will appear. advanced_1133_h3=Start the Service advanced_1134_p=\ You can start the H2 Database Engine Service using the service manager of Windows, or by double clicking on <code>2_start_service.bat</code>. Please note that the batch file does not print an error message if the service is not installed. advanced_1135_h3=Connect to the H2 Console advanced_1136_p=\ After installing and starting the service, you can connect to the H2 Console application using a browser. Double clicking on <code>3_start_browser.bat</code> to do that. The default port (8082) is hard coded in the batch file. advanced_1137_h3=Stop the Service advanced_1138_p=\ To stop the service, double click on <code>4_stop_service.bat</code>. Please note that the batch file does not print an error message if the service is not installed or started. advanced_1139_h3=Uninstall the Service advanced_1140_p=\ To uninstall the service, double click on <code>5_uninstall_service.bat</code>. If successful, a command prompt window will pop up and disappear immediately. If not, a message will appear. advanced_1141_h3=Additional JDBC drivers advanced_1142_p=\ To use other databases (for example MySQL), the location of the JDBC drivers of those databases need to be added to the environment variables <code>H2DRIVERS</code> or <code>CLASSPATH</code> before installing the service. Multiple drivers can be set; each entry needs to be separated with a <code>;</code> (Windows) or <code>\:</code> (other operating systems). Spaces in the path names are supported. The settings must not be quoted. advanced_1143_h2=ODBC Driver advanced_1144_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_1145_p=\ To use the PostgreSQL ODBC driver on 64 bit versions of Windows, first run <code>c\:/windows/syswow64/odbcad32.exe</code>. At this point you set up your DSN just like you would on any other system. See also\: <a href\="http\://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2005-09/msg00125.php">Re\: ODBC Driver on Windows 64 bit</a> advanced_1146_h3=ODBC Installation advanced_1147_p=\ First, the ODBC driver must be installed. Any recent PostgreSQL ODBC driver should work, however version 8.2 (<code>psqlodbc-08_02*</code>) 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_1148_h3=Starting the Server advanced_1149_p=\ After installing the ODBC driver, start the H2 Server using the command line\: advanced_1150_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 <code>-baseDir</code> to save databases in another directory, for example the user home directory\: advanced_1151_p=\ The PG server can be started and stopped from within a Java application as follows\: advanced_1152_p=\ By default, only connections from localhost are allowed. To allow remote connections, use <code>-pgAllowOthers</code> when starting the server. advanced_1153_h3=ODBC Configuration advanced_1154_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. The property column represents the property key in the <code>odbc.ini</code> file (which may be different from the GUI). advanced_1155_th=Property advanced_1156_th=Example advanced_1157_th=Remarks advanced_1158_td=Data Source advanced_1159_td=H2 Test advanced_1160_td=The name of the ODBC Data Source advanced_1161_td=Database advanced_1162_td=~/test;ifexists\=true advanced_1163_td=\ The database name. This can include connections settings. advanced_1164_td=\ By default, the database is stored in the current working directory advanced_1165_td=\ where the Server is started except when the -baseDir setting is used. advanced_1166_td=\ The name must be at least 3 characters. advanced_1167_td=Servername advanced_1168_td=localhost advanced_1169_td=The server name or IP address. advanced_1170_td=By default, only remote connections are allowed advanced_1171_td=Username advanced_1172_td=sa advanced_1173_td=The database user name. advanced_1174_td=SSL advanced_1175_td=false (disabled) advanced_1176_td=At this time, SSL is not supported. advanced_1177_td=Port advanced_1178_td=5435 advanced_1179_td=The port where the PG Server is listening. advanced_1180_td=Password advanced_1181_td=sa advanced_1182_td=The database password. advanced_1183_p=\ To improve performance, please enable 'server side prepare' under Options / Datasource / Page 2 / Server side prepare. advanced_1184_p=\ Afterwards, you may use this data source. advanced_1185_h3=PG Protocol Support Limitations advanced_1186_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. Also, H2 does not provide index meta over ODBC. advanced_1187_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_1188_h3=Security Considerations advanced_1189_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_1190_h3=Using Microsoft Access advanced_1191_p=\ When using Microsoft Access to edit data in a linked H2 table, you may need to enable the following option\: Tools - Options - Edit/Find - ODBC fields. advanced_1192_h2=Using H2 in Microsoft .NET advanced_1193_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_1194_h3=Using the ADO.NET API on .NET advanced_1195_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_1196_h3=Using the JDBC API on .NET advanced_1197_li=Install the .NET Framework from <a href\="http\://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</a>. Mono has not yet been tested. advanced_1198_li=Install <a href\="http\://www.ikvm.net">IKVM.NET</a>. advanced_1199_li=Copy the <code>h2*.jar</code> file to <code>ikvm/bin</code> advanced_1200_li=Run the H2 Console using\: <code>ikvm -jar h2*.jar</code> advanced_1201_li=Convert the H2 Console to an <code>.exe</code> file using\: <code>ikvmc -target\:winexe h2*.jar</code>. You may ignore the warnings. advanced_1202_li=Create a <code>.dll</code> file using (change the version accordingly)\: <code>ikvmc.exe -target\:library -version\:1.0.69.0 h2*.jar</code> advanced_1203_p=\ If you want your C\# application use H2, you need to add the <code>h2.dll</code> and the <code>IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll</code> to your C\# solution. Here some sample code\: advanced_1204_h2=ACID advanced_1205_p=\ In the database world, ACID stands for\: advanced_1206_li=Atomicity\: transactions must be atomic, meaning either all tasks are performed or none. advanced_1207_li=Consistency\: all operations must comply with the defined constraints. advanced_1208_li=Isolation\: transactions must be isolated from each other. advanced_1209_li=Durability\: committed transaction will not be lost. advanced_1210_h3=Atomicity advanced_1211_p=\ Transactions in this database are always atomic. advanced_1212_h3=Consistency advanced_1213_p=\ By default, this database is always in a consistent state. Referential integrity rules are enforced except when explicitly disabled. advanced_1214_h3=Isolation advanced_1215_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_1216_h3=Durability advanced_1217_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_1218_h2=Durability Problems advanced_1219_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 <code>org.h2.test.poweroff.Test</code>. advanced_1220_h3=Ways to (Not) Achieve Durability advanced_1221_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, <code>RandomAccessFile</code> supports the modes <code>rws</code> and <code>rwd</code>\: advanced_1222_code=rwd advanced_1223_li=\: every update to the file's content is written synchronously to the underlying storage device. advanced_1224_code=rws advanced_1225_li=\: in addition to <code>rwd</code>, every update to the metadata is written synchronously. advanced_1226_p=\ A test (<code>org.h2.test.poweroff.TestWrite</code>) 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_1227_p=\ Calling <code>fsync</code> flushes the buffers. There are two ways to do that in Java\: advanced_1228_code=FileDescriptor.sync() advanced_1229_li=. The documentation says that this forces all system buffers to synchronize with the underlying device. This method is supposed to return after all in-memory modified copies of buffers associated with this file descriptor have been written to the physical medium. advanced_1230_code=FileChannel.force() advanced_1231_li=\ (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_1232_p=\ By default, MySQL calls <code>fsync</code> 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 <code>FileDescriptor.sync()</code> or <code>FileChannel.force()</code>, data is not always persisted to the hard drive, because most hard drives do not obey <code>fsync()</code>\: 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, <code>fsync</code> 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_1233_p=\ Trying to flush hard drive buffers is 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_1234_p=\ In H2, after a power failure, a bit more than one second of committed transactions may be lost. To change the behavior, use <code>SET WRITE_DELAY</code> and <code>CHECKPOINT SYNC</code>. Most other databases support commit delay as well. In the performance comparison, commit delay was used for all databases that support it. advanced_1235_h3=Running the Durability Test advanced_1236_p=\ To test the durability / non-durability of this and other databases, you can use the test application in the package <code>org.h2.test.poweroff</code>. 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_1237_h2=Using the Recover Tool advanced_1238_p=\ The <code>Recover</code> tool can be used to extract the contents of a database file, even if the database is corrupted. It also extracts the content of the transaction log and large objects (CLOB or BLOB). To run the tool, type on the command line\: advanced_1239_p=\ For each database in the current directory, a text file will be created. This file contains raw insert statements (for the data) and data definition (DDL) statements to recreate the schema of the database. This file can be executed using the <code>RunScript</code> tool or a <code>RUNSCRIPT FROM</code> SQL statement. The script includes at least one <code>CREATE USER</code> statement. If you run the script against a database that was created with the same user, or if there are conflicting users, running the script will fail. Consider running the script against a database that was created with a user name that is not in the script. advanced_1240_p=\ The <code>Recover</code> tool creates a SQL script from database file. It also processes the transaction log. advanced_1241_h2=File Locking Protocols advanced_1242_p=\ Multiple concurrent connections to the same database are supported, however a database file can only be open for reading and writing (in embedded mode) by one process at the same time. Otherwise, the processes would overwrite each others data and corrupt the database file. To protect against this problem, whenever a database is opened, a lock file is created to signal other processes that the database is in use. If the database is closed, or if the process that opened the database stops normally, this lock file is deleted. advanced_1243_p=\ In special cases (if the process did not terminate normally, for example because there was a power failure), 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_1244_p=\ The file locking protocols (except the file locking method 'FS') have the following limitation\: if a shared file system is used, and the machine with the lock owner is sent to sleep (standby or hibernate), another machine may take over. If the machine that originally held the lock wakes up, the database may become corrupt. If this situation can occur, the application must ensure the database is closed when the application is put to sleep. advanced_1245_h3=File Locking Method 'File' advanced_1246_p=\ The default method for database file locking is the 'File Method'. The algorithm is\: advanced_1247_li=If the lock file does not exist, it is created (using the atomic operation <code>File.createNewFile</code>). Then, the process waits a little bit (20 ms) and checks the file again. If the file was changed during this time, the operation is aborted. This protects against a race condition when one process deletes the lock file just after another one create it, and a third process creates the file again. It does not occur if there are only two writers. advanced_1248_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_1249_li=\ If the lock file exists and was recently modified, the process waits for some time (up to two seconds). 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_1250_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_1251_h3=File Locking Method 'Socket' advanced_1252_p=\ There is a second locking mechanism implemented, but disabled by default. To use it, append <code>;FILE_LOCK\=SOCKET</code> to the database URL. The algorithm is\: advanced_1253_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_1254_li=If the lock file exists, and the lock method is 'file', then the software switches to the 'file' method. advanced_1255_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 power failure, or abnormal termination of the virtual machine), then the port was released. The new process deletes the lock file and starts again. advanced_1256_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_1257_h3=File Locking Method 'FS' advanced_1258_p=\ This database file locking mechanism uses native file system lock on the database file. No *.lock.db file is created in this case, and no background thread is started. This mechanism may not work on all systems as expected. Some systems allow to lock the same file multiple times within the same virtual machine, and on some system native file locking is not supported or files are not unlocked after a power failure. advanced_1259_p=\ To enable this feature, append <code>;FILE_LOCK\=FS</code> to the database URL. advanced_1260_p=\ This feature is relatively new. When using it for production, please ensure your system does in fact lock files as expected. advanced_1261_h2=File Locking Method 'Serialized' advanced_1262_p=\ This locking mode allows to open multiple connections to the same database. The connections may be opened from multiple processes and from different computers. When writing to the database, access is automatically synchronized internally. Write operations are slower than when using the server mode, and concurrency is relatively poor. The advantage of this mode is that there is no need to start a server. advanced_1263_p=\ To enable this feature, append <code>;FILE_LOCK\=SERIALIZED</code> to the database URL. advanced_1264_p=\ This feature is relatively new. When using it for production, please ensure your use case is well tested (if possible with automated test cases). advanced_1265_h2=Using Passwords advanced_1266_h3=Using Secure Passwords advanced_1267_p=\ Remember that weak passwords can be broken regardless of the encryption and security protocols. Don't use passwords that can be found in a dictionary. Appending numbers does not make passwords 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 (but it's more important to use a long password than to use special characters). Example\: advanced_1268_code=i'sE2rtPiUKtT advanced_1269_p=\ from the sentence <code>it's easy to remember this password if you know the trick</code>. advanced_1270_h3=Passwords\: Using Char Arrays instead of Strings advanced_1271_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 (if not enough main memory is available), which is a problem if the attacker has access to the swap file of the operating system. advanced_1272_p=\ It is a good idea to use char arrays instead of strings for passwords. Char arrays can be cleared (filled with zeros) after use, and therefore the password will not be stored in the swap file. advanced_1273_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\: advanced_1274_p=\ This example requires Java 1.6. When using Swing, use <code>javax.swing.JPasswordField</code>. advanced_1275_h3=Passing the User Name and/or Password in the URL advanced_1276_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. advanced_1277_h2=Password Hash advanced_1278_p=\ Sometimes the database password needs to be stored in a configuration file (for example in the <code>web.xml</code> file). In addition to connecting with the plain text password, this database supports connecting with the password hash. This means that only the hash of the password (and not the plain text password) needs to be stored in the configuration file. This will only protect others from reading or re-constructing the plain text password (even if they have access to the configuration file); it does not protect others from accessing the database using the password hash. advanced_1279_p=\ To connect using the password hash instead of plain text password, append <code>;PASSWORD_HASH\=TRUE</code> to the database URL, and replace the password with the password hash. To calculate the password hash from a plain text password, run the following command within the H2 Console tool\: <code>@password_hash <upperCaseUserName> <password></code>. As an example, if the user name is <code>sa</code> and the password is <code>test</code>, run the command <code>@password_hash SA test</code>. Then use the resulting password hash as you would use the plain text password. When using an encrypted database, then the user password and file password need to be hashed separately. To calculate the hash of the file password, run\: <code>@password_hash file <filePassword></code>. advanced_1280_h2=Protection against SQL Injection advanced_1281_h3=What is SQL Injection advanced_1282_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_1283_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\: <code>' OR ''\='</code>. In this case the statement becomes\: advanced_1284_p=\ Which is always true no matter what the password stored in the database is. For more information about SQL Injection, see <a href\="\#glossary_links">Glossary and Links</a>. advanced_1285_h3=Disabling Literals advanced_1286_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 prepared statement\: advanced_1287_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_1288_p=\ Afterwards, SQL statements with text and number literals are not allowed any more. That means, SQL statement of the form <code>WHERE NAME\='abc'</code> or <code>WHERE CustomerId\=10</code> will fail. It is still possible to use prepared statements 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\: <code>SET ALLOW_LITERALS NUMBERS</code>. To allow all literals, execute <code>SET ALLOW_LITERALS ALL</code> (this is the default setting). Literals can only be enabled or disabled by an administrator. advanced_1289_h3=Using Constants advanced_1290_p=\ Disabling literals also means disabling hard-coded 'constant' literals. This database supports defining constants using the <code>CREATE CONSTANT</code> 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_1291_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_1292_h3=Using the ZERO() Function advanced_1293_p=\ It is not required to create a constant for the number 0 as there is already a built-in function <code>ZERO()</code>\: advanced_1294_h2=Protection against Remote Access advanced_1295_p=\ By default this database does not allow connections from other machines when starting the H2 Console, the TCP server, or the PG server. Remote access can be enabled using the command line options <code>-webAllowOthers, -tcpAllowOthers, -pgAllowOthers</code>. If you enable remote access, please also consider using the options <code>-baseDir, -ifExists</code>, so that remote users can not create new databases or access existing databases with weak passwords. When using the option <code>-baseDir</code>, only databases within that directory may be accessed. Ensure the existing accessible databases are protected using strong passwords. advanced_1296_h2=Restricting Class Loading and Usage advanced_1297_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 <code>System.setProperty</code> by executing\: advanced_1298_p=\ To restrict users (including admins) from loading classes and executing code, the list of allowed classes can be set in the system property <code>h2.allowedClasses</code> in the form of a comma separated list of classes or patterns (items ending with <code>*</code>). By default all classes are allowed. Example\: advanced_1299_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_1300_h2=Security Protocols advanced_1301_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_1302_h3=User Password Encryption advanced_1303_p=\ When a user tries to connect to a database, the combination of user name, @, and password are hashed using SHA-256, and this hash value is transmitted to the database. This step does not protect against an attacker that re-uses 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_1304_p=\ When a new database or user is created, a new random salt value is generated. The size of the salt is 64 bits. Using the random salt reduces the risk of an attacker pre-calculating hash values for many different (commonly used) passwords. advanced_1305_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 calculates 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 accessible remotely, then the iteration count is not required at all. advanced_1306_h3=File Encryption advanced_1307_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 a bit faster as AES in some environments) and to have an alternative algorithm if AES is suddenly broken. Please note that the XTEA implementation used in this database only uses 32 rounds and not 64 rounds as recommended by its inventor (as of 2010, the best known attack is on 27 rounds). advanced_1308_p=\ When a user tries to connect to an encrypted database, the combination of <code>file@</code> and the file password is hashed using SHA-256. This hash value is transmitted to the server. advanced_1309_p=\ When a new database file is created, a new cryptographically secure random salt value is generated. The size of the salt is 64 bits. 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_1310_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_1311_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_1312_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_1313_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_1314_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_1315_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_1316_h3=Wrong Password / User Name Delay advanced_1317_p=\ To protect against remote brute force password attacks, the delay after each unsuccessful login gets double as long. Use the system properties <code>h2.delayWrongPasswordMin</code> and <code>h2.delayWrongPasswordMax</code> 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 to (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_1318_p=\ There is only one exception message for both wrong user and for wrong password, to make it harder to get the list of user names. It is not possible from the stack trace to see if the user name was wrong or the password. advanced_1319_h3=HTTPS Connections advanced_1320_p=\ The web server supports HTTP and HTTPS connections using <code>SSLServerSocket</code>. There is a default self-certified certificate to support an easy starting point, but custom certificates are supported as well. advanced_1321_h2=SSL/TLS Connections advanced_1322_p=\ Remote SSL/TLS connections are supported using the Java Secure Socket Extension (<code>SSLServerSocket, SSLSocket</code>). By default, anonymous SSL is enabled. The default cipher suite is <code>SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5</code>. advanced_1323_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_1324_p=\ To disable anonymous SSL, set the system property <code>h2.enableAnonymousSSL</code> to false. advanced_1325_h2=Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID) advanced_1326_p=\ This database supports 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 <code>RANDOM_UUID()</code>. Here is a small program to estimate the probability of having two identical UUIDs after generating a number of values\: advanced_1327_p=\ Some values are\: advanced_1328_th=Number of UUIs advanced_1329_th=Probability of Duplicates advanced_1330_td=2^36\=68'719'476'736 advanced_1331_td=0.000'000'000'000'000'4 advanced_1332_td=2^41\=2'199'023'255'552 advanced_1333_td=0.000'000'000'000'4 advanced_1334_td=2^46\=70'368'744'177'664 advanced_1335_td=0.000'000'000'4 advanced_1336_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_1337_h2=Recursive Queries advanced_1338_p=\ H2 has experimental support for recursive queries using so called "common table expressions" (CTE). Examples\: advanced_1339_p=\ Limitations\: Recursive queries need to be of the type <code>UNION ALL</code>, and the recursion needs to be on the second part of the query. No tables or views with the name of the table expression may exist. Different table expression names need to be used when using multiple distinct table expressions within the same transaction and for the same session. All columns of the table expression are of type <code>VARCHAR</code>. Views with recursive queries are not supported. Subqueries and <code>INSERT INTO ... FROM</code> with recursive queries are not supported. Parameters are only supported within the last <code>SELECT</code> statement (a workaround is to use session variables like <code>@start</code> within the table expression). The syntax is\: advanced_1340_h2=Settings Read from System Properties advanced_1341_p=\ Some settings of the database can be set on the command line using <code>-DpropertyName\=value</code>. It is usually not required to change those settings manually. The settings are case sensitive. Example\: advanced_1342_p=\ The current value of the settings can be read in the table <code>INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS</code>. advanced_1343_p=\ For a complete list of settings, see <a href\="../javadoc/org/h2/constant/SysProperties.html">SysProperties</a>. advanced_1344_h2=Setting the Server Bind Address advanced_1345_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 <code>h2.bindAddress</code>. This setting is used for both regular server sockets and for SSL server sockets. IPv4 and IPv6 address formats are supported. advanced_1346_h2=Pluggable File System advanced_1347_p=\ This database supports a pluggable file system API. The file system implementation is selected using a file name prefix. The following file systems are included\: advanced_1348_code=zip\: advanced_1349_li=\ read-only zip-file based file system. Format\: <code>zip\:/zipFileName\!/fileName</code>. advanced_1350_code=split\: advanced_1351_li=\ file system that splits files in 1 GB files (stackable with other file systems). advanced_1352_code=nio\: advanced_1353_li=\ file system that uses <code>FileChannel</code> instead of <code>RandomAccessFile</code> (faster in some operating systems). advanced_1354_code=nioMapped\: advanced_1355_li=\ file system that uses memory mapped files (faster in some operating systems). Please note that there currently is a file size limitation of 2 GB when using this file system when using a 32-bit JVM. To work around this limitation, combine it with the split file system\: <code>split\:nioMapped\:test</code>. advanced_1356_code=memFS\: advanced_1357_li=\ in-memory file system (slower than mem; experimental; mainly used for testing the database engine itself). advanced_1358_code=memLZF\: advanced_1359_li=\ compressing in-memory file system (slower than memFS but uses less memory; experimental; mainly used for testing the database engine itself). advanced_1360_p=\ As an example, to use the the <code>nio</code> file system, use the following database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:nio\:~/test</code>. advanced_1361_p=\ To register a new file system, extend the classes <code>org.h2.store.fs.FileSystem, FileObject</code>, and call the method <code>FileSystem.register</code> before using it. advanced_1362_h2=Database Upgrade advanced_1363_p=\ In version 1.2, H2 introduced a new file store implementation which is incompatible to the one used in versions < 1.2. To automatically convert databases to the new file store, it is necessary to include an additional jar file. The file can be found at <a href\="http\://h2database.com/h2mig_pagestore_addon.jar">http\://h2database.com/h2mig_pagestore_addon.jar</a> . If this file is in the classpath, every connect to an older database will result in a conversion process. advanced_1364_p=\ The conversion itself is done internally via <code>'script to'</code> and <code>'runscript from'</code>. After the conversion process, the files will be renamed from advanced_1365_code=dbName.data.db advanced_1366_li=\ to <code>dbName.data.db.backup</code> advanced_1367_code=dbName.index.db advanced_1368_li=\ to <code>dbName.index.db.backup</code> advanced_1369_p=\ by default. Also, the temporary script will be written to the database directory instead of a temporary directory. Both defaults can be customized via advanced_1370_code=org.h2.upgrade.DbUpgrade.setDeleteOldDb(boolean) advanced_1371_code=org.h2.upgrade.DbUpgrade.setScriptInTmpDir(boolean) advanced_1372_p=\ prior opening a database connection. advanced_1373_p=\ Since version 1.2.140 it is 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 start with <code>jdbc\:h2v1_1\:</code>. If the database should automatically connect using the old version if a database with the old format exists (without upgrade), and use the new version otherwise, then append <code>;NO_UPGRADE\=TRUE</code> to the database URL. advanced_1374_h2=Limits and Limitations advanced_1375_p=\ This database has the following known limitations\: advanced_1376_li=Database file size limit\: 4 TB (using the default page size of 2 KB) or higher (when using a larger page size). When using the feature "h2.lobInDatabase" then this limit is including CLOB and BLOB data, otherwise this limit is excluding CLOB and BLOB data, and every CLOB or BLOB can be up to 256 GB. advanced_1377_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. The database does provide a workaround for this problem, it is to use the file name prefix <code>split\:</code>. In that case files are split into files of 1 GB by default. An example database URL is\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:split\:~/test</code>. advanced_1378_li=The maximum number of rows per table is 2'147'483'648. advanced_1379_li=Main memory requirements\: The larger the database, the more main memory is required. With the version 1.1 storage mechanism, the minimum main memory required for a 12 GB database was around 240 MB. With the current page store, the minimum main memory required is much lower, around 1 MB for each 8 GB database file size. advanced_1380_li=Limit on the complexity of SQL statements. Statements of the following form will result in a stack overflow exception\: advanced_1381_li=There is no limit for the following entities, except the memory and storage capacity\: maximum identifier length (table name, column name, and so on); maximum number of tables, columns, indexes, triggers, and other database objects; maximum statement length, number of parameters per statement, tables per statement, expressions in order by, group by, having, and so on; maximum rows per query; maximum columns per table, columns per index, indexes per table, lob columns per table, and so on; maximum row length, index row length, select row length; maximum length of a varchar column, decimal column, literal in a statement. advanced_1382_li=For limitations on data types, see the documentation of the respective Java data type or the data type documentation of this database. advanced_1383_h2=Glossary and Links advanced_1384_th=Term advanced_1385_th=Description advanced_1386_td=AES-128 advanced_1387_td=A block encryption algorithm.

For example, do not use tabs (use spaces instead). The checkstyle configuration is in <code>src/installer/checkstyle.xml</code>. build_1063_li=A template of the Eclipse settings are in <code>src/installer/eclipse.settings/*</code>. If you want to use them, you need to copy them to the <code>.settings</code> directory. The formatting options (<code>eclipseCodeStyle</code>) are also included. build_1064_li=Please provide test cases and integrate them into the test suite. For Java level tests, see <code>src/test/org/h2/test/TestAll.java</code>. For SQL level tests, see <code>src/test/org/h2/test/test.in.txt</code> or <code>testSimple.in.txt</code>. build_1065_li=The test cases should cover at least 90% of the changed and new code; use a code coverage tool to verify that (see above). or use the build target <code>coverage</code>. build_1066_li=Verify that you did not break other features\: run the test cases by executing <code>build test</code>. build_1067_li=Provide end user documentation if required (<code>src/docsrc/html/*</code>). build_1068_li=Document grammar changes in <code>src/docsrc/help/help.csv</code> build_1069_li=Provide a change log entry (<code>src/docsrc/html/changelog.html</code>). build_1070_li=Verify the spelling using <code>build spellcheck</code>.

This package is used to generate the SQL-2 railroad diagrams for the JCR 2.0 specification. changelog_1000_h1=Change Log changelog_1001_h2=Next Version (unreleased) changelog_1002_li=EXPLAIN SELECT didn't include the sample size if one was set. changelog_1003_li=Improved EXPLAIN plan formatting. changelog_1004_li=Issue 266\: Domains\: a NOT NULL clause in a domain definition ignored. changelog_1005_li=More accurate calculation of variance and standard deviation for large number of samples with low variance (now using Welford's method). changelog_1006_li=Server\: CLOB data with unicode characters between character code 0xd800 and 0xdfff were not transferred correctly. In many cases, the thread was stuck afterwards. changelog_1007_li=Issue 264\: the Hibernate dialect in src/tools was removed because it is outdated. changelog_1008_li=Cache size limit could be exceeded for certain queries, leading to an OutOfMemoryError in some cases. Fixed. changelog_1009_h2=Version 1.3.148 Beta (2010-12-12) changelog_1010_li=The built-in connection pool was simplified a bit. The dispose() method no longer throws an exception (it only logs it). changelog_1011_li=The database upgrade (to upgrade from H2 version 1.1.x) has been simplified. changelog_1012_li=The feature to log all errors (system properties h2.logAllErrors and h2.logAllErrorsFile) has been removed. changelog_1013_li=When starting the H2 Console, the properties file can now be completely disabled. changelog_1014_li=Server.openBrowser no longer writes to System.out directly if opening the URL failed. changelog_1015_li=The INSERT optimizations (INSERT ... DIRECT SORTED SELECT) were not parsed correctly when using a column list. changelog_1016_li=H2 Console\: the tables and columns are now listed for SQLite as well. changelog_1017_li=H2 Console\: improved autocomplete feature (also simplified the source code for this feature). changelog_1018_li=Issue 260\: the DbStarter servlet context listener now starts the server before opening a connection, so that connecting using the server mode works. changelog_1019_li=The Shell tool can now enable, disable, and display the current autocommit mode. changelog_1020_li=Issue 259\: there is a limitation in the cluster mode\: The SQL statement SET AUTOCOMMIT FALSE doesn't work. To disable autocommit, the method Connection.setAutoCommit(false) needs to be called. This is now documented. changelog_1021_li=Connection pool / DataSource\: a NullPointerException was thrown when using a database URL that doesn't start with "jdbc\:h2\:". changelog_1022_li=Using the java.sql.Blob or java.sql.Clob interfaces could throw the wrong exception after the object was closed. changelog_1023_li=LOB\: in server mode, if the feature "LOBs in database" is disabled, the temporary files are now created in the temp directory (the same as when "LOBs in database" is enabled). changelog_1024_h2=Version 1.2.147 (2010-11-21) changelog_1025_li=H2 Console\: the server properties directory can now be set on the command line using java ... -properties <directory>. Issue 159. changelog_1026_li=New feature INSERT INTO ... DIRECT SELECT, mainly to speed up loading tables from a CSV file. When using DIRECT, then the results from the query are directly applied in the target table without any intermediate step (without temporary file). changelog_1027_li=Converting binary data to UUID was incorrect when the converting more than 31 bytes. Now always the first 16 bytes are used. changelog_1028_li=Improved date / time arithmetics. Now supported are multiplying and dividing a time with / by a number, adding and subtracting a time to / from a time or date, subtracting a time or timestamp from a timestamp. changelog_1029_li=The Ant build script has been removed because it is no longer up to date. changelog_1030_li=Nested outer joins without brackets were not working as expected. Example\: select * from a inner join b inner join c on c.id \= b.id on b.id \= a.id; changelog_1031_li=JMX (the Java management extension) is now supported. Issue 253. changelog_1032_li=Creating a comment on a column didn't work if the schema name was equal the database name. changelog_1033_li=When using multi-version concurrency, re-running a prepared statement with the same parameters would sometimes give the same result even if another connection committed a change (the previous result was sometimes re-used incorrectly). changelog_1034_li=When using SELECT_FOR_UPDATE_MVCC (lock only the selected rows when using MVCC), the selected rows were sometimes not locked correctly. changelog_1035_li=When using Lucene 3, the index files were not always closed when the database was closed. changelog_1036_li=Concurrently preparing a statement and altering a table could throw a table not found exception. changelog_1037_li=When concurrently preparing many statements with a subquery, in some cases the query didn't run (Column "..." must be in the GROUP BY list). changelog_1038_li=CallableStatement\: now the syntax "{? \= CALL...}" is supported as well. changelog_1039_li=Issue Lob in databases\: two small BLOB or CLOB values were always considered equal. This also affected unique indexes. changelog_1040_li=The shutdown hook is (re-) enabled by default even for H2 version 1.3.x. changelog_1041_li=When creating a database from a recovery script, the same user can now be used (CREATE USER now always includes IF EXISTS). changelog_1042_li=The H2 Console now prints a status message if started with parameters. changelog_1043_h2=Version 1.3.146 Beta (2010-11-08) changelog_1044_li=This is a beta version. The next version will be 1.2.147. The differences between 1.2.x and 1.3.x are\: changelog_1045_li=In version 1.3.x, h2.lobInDatabase (store CLOB and BLOB in the database file) is enabled by default. changelog_1046_li=In version 1.3.x, ANALYZE_AUTO is 2000 (automatic ANALYZE). changelog_1047_li=In version 1.3.x, DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT (the shutdown hook) is disabled by default. changelog_1048_li=In version 1.3.x, DROP_RESTRICT (default action for DROP is RESTRICT) is enabled. changelog_1049_li=In version 1.3.x, FUNCTIONS_IN_SCHEMA (allow to store functions in a schema) is enabled. changelog_1050_li=In version 1.3.x, LARGE_TRANSACTIONS (support for very large transactions) is enabled. Changes to tables without a primary key can be buffered to disk. changelog_1051_li=In version 1.3.x, MAX_MEMORY_ROWS_DISTINCT is set to a 10000. changelog_1052_li=In version 1.3.x, NESTED_JOINS (nested joins and right outer joins) is enabled. changelog_1053_li=In version 1.3.x, OPTIMIZE_INSERT_FROM_SELECT (speed up CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT) is enabled. changelog_1054_li=In version 1.3.x, OPTIMIZE_OR (convert OR conditions to IN(..) if possible) is enabled. changelog_1055_li=In version 1.3.x, QUERY_CACHE_SIZE is enabled. changelog_1056_li=In version 1.3.x, SELECT_FOR_UPDATE_MVCC (MVCC and SELECT FOR UPDATE) is enabled. changelog_1057_li=In version 1.3.x, RUNSCRIPT and SCRIPT (commands and tools), use UTF-8 by default (ScriptCommand.charset). changelog_1058_li=In version 1.3.x, Lucene 3 is used by default. Issue 147. changelog_1059_li=When the system property h2.lobInDatabase is set, the lob tables were always created when closing the database, even if the tables were not needed. changelog_1060_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_1061_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. changelog_1062_li=Trying to convert a very small CLOB to a BLOB or a very small CLOB to a BLOB threw a NullPointerException. changelog_1063_li=INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS\: now the current page count can be queried using select * from information_schema.settings where name \= 'info.PAGE_COUNT'. changelog_1064_li=For an invalid value exception, the parameter name and value was switched in some cases. changelog_1065_li=When using trace level 3, opening a database no longer prints there is a EOFException (because that is the expected behavior). changelog_1066_li=CALL calling a Java function with return type ResultSet and return value null threw a ClassCastException. changelog_1067_li=SELECT ...

Some large imports are now twice as fast. changelog_1068_h2=Version 1.2.145 (2010-11-02) changelog_1069_li=A new String cache is now created at most once every 5 second, so that out of memory exceptions are not artificially delayed. changelog_1070_li=After closing a database, the writer thread will stop after 100 ms at the latest (instead of 1 second). changelog_1071_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_1072_li=Views now store the schema for Java functions if "functions in schemas" is enabled (system property h2.functionsInSchema). changelog_1073_li=Improved error message if the LOB files are already deleted on the client side. changelog_1074_li=Closing a Statement or PreparedStatement at the same time as executing a statement could throw a strange exception. Issue 241. changelog_1075_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_1076_li=H2 Console\: webAllowOthers and webSSL were swapped if they didn't exist in the properties file. Issue 244. changelog_1077_li=When the system property h2.lobInDatabase is set, CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT with a LOB column did not always work. changelog_1078_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_1079_li=Various system properties have been replaced with database level settings\: ALIAS_COLUMN_NAME, ANALYZE_AUTO, ANALYZE_SAMPLE, DATABASE_TO_UPPER, DEFAULT_ESCAPE, DEFRAG_ALWAYS, DROP_RESTRICT, ESTIMATED_FUNCTION_TABLE_ROWS, FUNCTIONS_IN_SCHEMA, LARGE_RESULT_BUFFER_SIZE, LARGE_TRANSACTIONS, MAX_COMPACT_COUNT, MAX_COMPACT_TIME, MAX_MEMORY_ROWS_DISTINCT, MAX_QUERY_TIMEOUT, NESTED_JOINS, OPTIMIZE_DISTINCT, OPTIMIZE_EVALUATABLE_SUBQUERIES, OPTIMIZE_INSERT_FROM_SELECT, OPTIMIZE_IN_LIST, OPTIMIZE_IS_NULL, OPTIMIZE_OR, OPTIMIZE_SUBQUERY_CACHE, OPTIMIZE_TWO_EQUALS, OPTIMIZE_UPDATE, PAGE_STORE_INTERNAL_COUNT, PAGE_STORE_TRIM, QUERY_CACHE_SIZE, RECOMPILE_ALWAYS, RECONNECT_CHECK_DELAY, SELECT_FOR_UPDATE_MVCC, SHARE_LINKED_CONNECTIONS.

The system properties are still supported for backward compatibility. changelog_1080_li=When the system property h2.nestedJoins was enabled, some outer joins returned the wrong result. changelog_1081_li=Opening a database could throw a NullPointerException. changelog_1082_li=After a crash, the database file did not always shrink because old transaction log pages were not removed from the file. changelog_1083_li=Various CallableStatement methods could throw a NullPointerException. changelog_1084_li=LOB files were not deleted when running DROP ALL OBJECTS. changelog_1085_li=MS SQL Server compatibility\: support "N" in front of string literals ("National Language" strings). Issue 240. changelog_1086_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_1087_li=When a domain (user defined data type) contained a user defined function, the database could not be opened. changelog_1088_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_1089_li=A table in the Recover tool script could not be imported if the script contained duplicate keys. changelog_1090_h2=Version 1.2.144 (2010-10-15) changelog_1091_li=The Windows .bat files did not contain CR+LF. changelog_1092_li=The LOB storage (when the system property h2.lobInDatabase is set) is now only initialized when needed. changelog_1093_li=The index condition columnName IS NULL was not efficient when using a clustered index. changelog_1094_li=The Recover tool did not work for databases larger than 2 GB. changelog_1095_li=In memory database\: outer joins with a condition "column is null" could return the wrong result. changelog_1096_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_1097_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_1098_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_1099_li=Support of stored procedures with OUT parameters in CallableStatement is implemented. changelog_1100_li=PreparedStatement.getMetaData() was not always consistent with resulting ResultSet.getMetaData(). changelog_1101_li=The build tool now uses JAVA_HOME for javac as well. Issue 233. changelog_1102_li=Opening and closing encrypted databases is now much faster. changelog_1103_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. changelog_1104_li=A new sample application that shows how to manually create an encrypted and compressed script file. changelog_1105_li=Performance has been improved a bit. changelog_1106_li=DatabaseMetaData.getJDBCMajorVersion now returns 4 (instead of 3) when the driver is compiled with Java 6 (the default). changelog_1107_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_1108_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_1109_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_1110_li=The database upgrade classes have been renamed. changelog_1111_li=The database did not automatically upgrade when using a connection pool or data source. changelog_1112_li=JaQu\: a database object can now also be created using a DataSource. Issue 227. changelog_1113_li=The built-in profiler now better supports the Dalvik VM. changelog_1114_li=The jarSmall build target no longer includes assertions (SysProperties.CHECK, CHECK2, system properties h2.check and h2.check2). changelog_1115_li=The jarSmall build target excluded the DbUpgrade classes by mistake. changelog_1116_h2=Version 1.2.143 (2010-09-18) changelog_1117_li=If the user name and password are not set or empty, then the password is not hashed. To disable this behavior, set the system property h2.emptyPassword to false. TCP server\: the default user name for the management database is now an empty string. changelog_1118_li=Cluster\: auto-commit was disabled after opening a connection. changelog_1119_li=Connection.getAutoCommit() is now much faster, specially when using the server mode. changelog_1120_li=Statement.cancel() had no effect when using the server mode. changelog_1121_li=SCRIPT\: the SQL script no longer contains settings that match the default value. changelog_1122_li=Statement.cancel() did not work when running RUNSCRIPT and SCRIPT. changelog_1123_li=Statement.cancel() could cause a NullPointerException. changelog_1124_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_1125_li=The Recover tool could throw a ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when trying to recover a corrupt database file. changelog_1126_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_1127_li=The SCRIPT command and tool now also support the CHARSET option (like RUNSCRIPT). changelog_1128_li=When closing a database, sometimes empty space in the database was not freed up. changelog_1129_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_1130_li=New experimental feature SHUTDOWN DEFRAG. This option re-orders the pages while closing the database so that table scans are faster. changelog_1131_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_1132_li=When adding a comment to a column that has a check constraint, the database couldn't be re-opened. changelog_1133_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_1134_h2=Version 1.2.142 (2010-08-31) changelog_1135_li=Documentation for using H2 on Android devices has been added under Tutorial - Android. changelog_1136_li=An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException was thrown when querying the table information_schema.function_aliases while there are any user defined aggregate functions. changelog_1137_li=The jar files are now about 50 KB smaller. In the last few versions they contained superfluous classes. changelog_1138_li=The default time to compact a database when closing (system property h2.maxCompactTime) is now 0.2 seconds instead of 1 second. changelog_1139_li=Opening an closing a database is now faster. changelog_1140_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_1141_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_1142_li=H2 Console\: with Chrome and Safari, resizing the table/query frame doesn't work. Issue 225. changelog_1143_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_1144_h2=Version 1.2.141 (2010-08-22) changelog_1145_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_1146_li=Documentation\: the grammar and function documentation can now be easier translated. changelog_1147_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_1148_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. changelog_1149_li=The native fulltext search could cause a Java level deadlock if searching from multiple connections concurrently. changelog_1150_li=CREATE FORCE VIEW didn't work in most cases if a referenced table didn't exist. changelog_1151_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_1152_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). changelog_1153_li=The built-in connection pool (JdbcConnectionPool) did not always honor the login timeout (the timeout could occur much too early). Thanks a lot to Dario Fassi for the patch\! changelog_1154_li=Translation\: the new messages have been translated to Spanish. Thanks a lot to Dario Fassi\! changelog_1155_li=The table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS now contains all H2-specific system properties (the ones that start with "h2.") and that are explicitly set. Previously, some H2-specific settings (for example h2.analyzeAuto) were missing in this list. changelog_1156_li=EXPLAIN ANALYZE with an in-memory database threw an exception. Issue 216. changelog_1157_li=Data modifications (inserts, updates, and deletes) are now up to 5 times faster because converting objects to byte arrays is avoided if possible. changelog_1158_li=LOG\=0 is now a bit faster (previously undo log entries were still written). changelog_1159_li=The command line tools now say so if the source directory of an option doesn't exist. changelog_1160_li=It is now allowed to truncate a table if referential integrity has been disabled for this table or database. changelog_1161_li=For unencrypted databases, the automatic upgrade temporary script file is now unencrypted again. changelog_1162_h2=Version 1.2.140 (2010-07-25) changelog_1163_li=The default MAX_LOG_SIZE is now 16 MB instead of 2 MB. Some uses cases are 3 times faster now. changelog_1164_li=Improved cache memory usage calculation. changelog_1165_li=Only resources that are actually used are loaded in memory. This can reduce the memory usage by about 400 KB. changelog_1166_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_1167_li=The cache was not used efficiently when reading (behaving like a FIFO cache instead of an LRU cache). changelog_1168_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_1169_li=SHUTDOWN COMPACT is now faster. changelog_1170_li=H2 Console\: requesting the status did not always show the window on top of others. changelog_1171_li=H2 Console\: on some system, the browser windows got opened when requesting a new one. changelog_1172_li=The built-in profiling tool now uses a default stack depth of 32 elements and a default interval of 10 ms. changelog_1173_li=Database files now grows in 1 MB blocks (and at least 20% at a time), instead of always 256 KB. This speeds up loading a new database. changelog_1174_li=H2 Console\: new built-in command @sleep to help profile another session. changelog_1175_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). changelog_1176_li=After deleting a lot of data (for example by dropping or altering tables, or indexes, or after a large transaction), opening a large database was very slow. Fixed. changelog_1177_li=When killing the process after creating and dropping many tables (specially temporary tables), the database could not be opened sometimes. changelog_1178_li=CAST(NULL AS ...) doesn't forget the data type, precision, and scale any longer. changelog_1179_li=Experimental support for recursive queries (see 'Advanced' - 'Recursive Queries' for details). changelog_1180_li=Problems with JDK 1.6.0_18 have been reports in the class StringUtils.quoteRemarkSQL. This method is now changed. changelog_1181_li=The "small jar" distribution did not include the CompressTool, which was required for some operations. Fixed. changelog_1182_li=The build tool now supports (minimalistic) shell mode, started using ./build.sh - changelog_1183_li=IS NULL comparison with nested queries and linked tables did not work. Example\: select * from (select x from test) where x is null. changelog_1184_li=Support for null-safe equals. This includes the ANSI SQL standard syntax A IS [NOT] DISTINCT FROM B as well as the shorter A IS [NOT] B. changelog_1185_li=Primary key violations threw a strange exception message when using a single column INT or BIGINT key. changelog_1186_li=EXPLAIN ANALYZE now also lists the number of pages read from the file. changelog_1187_li=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_1188_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. See also http\://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id\=4724038 changelog_1189_li=Bugfixes for the automatic 1.1 db migration. changelog_1190_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_1191_li=The automatic upgrade temporary script file is now encrypted. changelog_1192_h2=Version 1.2.139 (2010-07-10) changelog_1193_li=There was a bug in the internal IntIntHashMap. There were no known side effects however. changelog_1194_li=ANALYZE now uses less memory. changelog_1195_li=Memory mapped file system\: improved error messages if there is a problem. changelog_1196_li=The Lucene fulltext search did not work well when using special file systems such as split or nioMapped. changelog_1197_li=The memory mapped file system (nioMapped\: file prefix) couldn't seek past the file length. changelog_1198_li=Some file system operations did not work with stacked file systems (for example split and nioMapped). This also affected the DeleteDbFiles tool. changelog_1199_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_1200_li=Conditions with many OR operations could throw an UnsupportedOperationException if h2.optimizeOr was enabled. changelog_1201_li=XA connection\: after transaction commit or rollback, the physical connection is set into autocommit mode. changelog_1202_li=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_1203_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. The file can be found here\: <a href\="http\://h2database.com/h2mig_pagestore_addon.jar">http\://h2database.com/h2mig_pagestore_addon.jar</a> changelog_1204_li=The MultiDimension tools was extended with a few helper methods. The API was unified a bit. changelog_1205_li=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. changelog_1206_li=ODBC\: MS Access could not link to a table with a name containing '_'. changelog_1207_li=ODBC\: additional connection settings can now be added to the database name. Example\: ~/test;cipher\=xtea. Therefore, encrypted databases are supported. changelog_1208_li=Local temporary tables can now be created without having to commit a transaction using CREATE LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLE TEMP(ID INT PRIMARY KEY) TRANSACTIONAL. changelog_1209_li=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_1210_li=DROP TABLE now also supports CASCADE (still the default) and RESTRICT. changelog_1211_li=The wrong exception was thrown when trying to connect to a server if the server was not running. changelog_1212_li=UNION queries where the first query contains a nested query were parsed incorrectly. Example\: "select 1 from (select 2 from dual) union select 3 from dual" was parsed as "select 1 from ((select 2 from dual) union select 3 from dual)". Fixed. changelog_1213_li=Support ALTER SCHEMA name RENAME TO newName (rename schema). (patch from Kerry Sainsbury) changelog_1214_h2=Version 1.2.138 (2010-06-27) changelog_1215_li=Referential integrity\: it was not allowed to delete a row with NULL in the parent table, if there was a row with NULL in the child table. changelog_1216_li=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_1217_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. changelog_1218_li=New sample application\: CachedPreparedStatements. changelog_1219_li=When creating functions within a schema, those functions could not be used in views, nested queries, and constraints. Fixed. changelog_1220_li=The benchmarks have been run using recent database versions. changelog_1221_li=Version 1.2.137 could still not be converted to Java 1.4 (because the Retrotranslator doesn't support BigDecimal.precision). changelog_1222_li=Cluster\: non-admin users could not connect when one of the cluster node was stopped. Issue 206. changelog_1223_li=DROP VIEW now supports the CASCADE and RESTRICT clauses (patch from Kerry Sainsbury) changelog_1224_li=CREATE VIEW now supports the OR REPLACE clause (patch from Kerry Sainsbury) changelog_1225_li=Build tool\: ability to only run one test using the -Dtest\=className setting. eg\: build -Dtest\=org.h2.test.db.TestViewDropView test (patch from Kerry Sainsbury). changelog_1226_h2=Version 1.2.137 (2010-06-06) changelog_1227_li=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_1228_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_1229_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_1230_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_1231_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. changelog_1232_li=Cluster\: non-admin users couldn't connect to the cluster and couldn't disable the cluster. Issue 201. changelog_1233_li=Cluster\: NEXTVAL('sequence') was only called on one cluster node, therefore sequence values could get out of sync. changelog_1234_li=Version 1.2.136 could not be converted to Java 1.4 (because the Retrotranslator doesn't support BigDecimal.precision). A workaround has been implemented. changelog_1235_li=The error code of IO exceptions in CSV functions was incorrect. changelog_1236_li=The TriggerPassData example now uses a prefix (the database name). changelog_1237_li=The wrong exception was thrown when trying to reference a table that doesn't support references such as a table in the information schema. changelog_1238_li=Server.shutdownTcpServer can now stop all TCP servers on this JVM. changelog_1239_li=JdbcConnectionPool\: the default connection timeout is now 30 seconds (it used to be 5 minutes). changelog_1240_li=LOB storage\: LOBs added with "h2.lobInDatabase" enabled couldn't be read later with this option disabled. changelog_1241_h2=Version 1.2.136 (2010-05-24) changelog_1242_li=When using ORDER BY and there are both ascending and descending indexes, the database used the first index even when the second one could be used for sorting. changelog_1243_li=Conditions of the form columnName IS NULL now use an index. To disable this feature, set the system property h2.optimizeIsNull to false. changelog_1244_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_1245_li=The source code is now switched to Java 6 (JDK 1.6) by default. Java 5 (JDK 1.5) is still supported, and the jar file is still compiled for Java 5. changelog_1246_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_1247_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_1248_li=INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS\: the cache size is now returned in KB. changelog_1249_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. changelog_1250_li=Profiler\: improved message if there was no stack trace. changelog_1251_li=The H2 Console can now be used within another application, in a frame or iframe. Issue 197. changelog_1252_li=Recover tool\: the statistics section now includes page type counts again. changelog_1253_li=Queries with multiple IN(...) conditions sometimes return the wrong results when there was a multi-column index for the column. changelog_1254_li=Queries with IN(..., NULL) did sometimes return the wrong results when there was a index for the column. changelog_1255_li=DECIMAL\: faster precision and memory usage calculations. changelog_1256_li=A new class org.h2.tools.TriggerAdapter allows to use the ResultSet interface within trigger implementations. changelog_1257_li=A subselect which used an index could lead to wrong results. Fixed. changelog_1258_li=Creating a cached temporary non persistent table with a primary key threw a NullPointerException. changelog_1259_h2=Version 1.2.135 (2010-05-08) changelog_1260_li=Temporary files were not deleted when using large transactions, disabling autocommit, and closing the session without committing. changelog_1261_li=Queries using multiple IN(..) conditions on the same table could cause repeated rows in the result set. changelog_1262_li=Translation\: Lubomir Grajciar translated the H2 Console as well as all error message to Slovensky. Thanks a lot\! changelog_1263_li=There was a possible Java level deadlock when opening an uninitialized database and using a file system that also opened a database. changelog_1264_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_1265_li=File system\: new method FileSystem.setReadOnly. changelog_1266_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_1267_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_1268_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_1269_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_1270_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_1271_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_1272_li=SET EXCLUSIVE now supports 0 (disable), 1 (enable), and 2 (enable and close all other connections). changelog_1273_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_1274_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_1275_li=The CreateCluster tool now sets the source database in exclusive mode before copying data to the new database. changelog_1276_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_1277_li=The H2 Console did not call the CreateCluster tool with the correctly escaped parameters. changelog_1278_li=Improved PostgreSQL compatibility for ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN. changelog_1279_li=Commas at the end of INSERT ... VALUES (), (), are now supported. changelog_1280_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_1281_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_1282_li=Global temporary tables are now deleted when closing the database. Before, they were deleted when opening the database the next time. changelog_1283_li=UNIQUE was not listed as a keyword. changelog_1284_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_1285_li=For some queries, the exception did not include the SQL statement. Example\: select x from system_range(1, 2) group by 'a'. changelog_1286_li=The Shell tool will execute SQL statements passed as using the command line parameter -sql. changelog_1287_li=If InetAddress.getLocalHost() fails, the database should now throw an exception. changelog_1288_li=New columns INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INDEXES.INDEX_CLASS and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES.TABLE_CLASS. changelog_1289_li=INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INDEXES.SQL now contains the CREATE INDEX statement instead of just the fully qualified index name. changelog_1290_h2=Version 1.2.134 (2010-04-23) changelog_1291_li=New system property h2.analyzeAuto (default 0 meaning disabled) to automatically run ANALYZE after that many changes to a table. For details, see the Javadoc of this system property. The plan is to set this property to 2000 in version 1.3.x. changelog_1292_li=JdbcXAConnection.start() does not support TMJOIN. Issue 189. changelog_1293_li=MySQL compatibility\: TIMESTAMPDIFF is now an alias for DATEDIFF. changelog_1294_li=MERGE did not respect foreign key and check constraints. changelog_1295_li=ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN\: changing the data type of a column no longer makes it nullable. changelog_1296_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_1297_li=Servers can now be started as a daemon thread using the command line options -tcpDaemon, -pgDaemon, and -webDaemon. changelog_1298_li=H2 Console\: the built-in commands are now documented. changelog_1299_li=REPLACE\: if any parameter is null, the result is null. changelog_1300_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_1301_li=The new statement EXPLAIN ANALYZE executes the statement, and displays the query plan with the actual row scan count for each table. changelog_1302_li=H2 Console\: the auto-complete feature didn't quote column names that need quoting. Issue 186. changelog_1303_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_1304_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_1305_li=Filesystem parameters like "split\:" didn't work in server mode with baseDir set. changelog_1306_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_1307_h2=Version 1.2.133 (2010-04-10) changelog_1308_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_1309_li=The Shell tool threw a NumberFormatException on a empty statement. changelog_1310_li=The h2small-*.jar did not support "drop all objects delete files". Now it is supported (the DeleteDbFiles tool is now included). changelog_1311_li=Operations that don't fit in memory are now faster. Temporary file handling was changed. changelog_1312_li=The default maximum log stream size is now 2 MB. This is a good value according to some performance tests. changelog_1313_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_1314_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_1315_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_1316_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 changelog_1317_li=When using MULTI_THREADED\=TRUE, the exception following exception could be thrown\: "object already exists\: TABLES" changelog_1318_li=Comparison of integer columns against float numbers was not always correct. Issue 182. changelog_1319_li=H2 Console\: Editing the result of a multi-line queries failed. Issue 183. changelog_1320_li=H2 Console\: if the settings file (.h2.properties) can't be accessed, the exception is now ignored. changelog_1321_h2=Version 1.2.132 (2010-03-21) changelog_1322_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_1323_li=User defined table implementation can now be used using CREATE TABLE ... ENGINE. Thanks to Sergi Vladykin for implementing this feature\! changelog_1324_li=Improved MS SQL Server compatibility\: support string concatenation using "+". Thanks to Stepan for the patch\! changelog_1325_li=When using the multi-threaded mode, running ANALYZE concurrently in multiple connections could throw an exception. changelog_1326_li=The MERGE statement is now about 30% faster when using a PreparedStatement. changelog_1327_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_1328_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_1329_li=The Shell tool now prints the stack trace when the list mode is enabled. changelog_1330_li=CREATE ALIAS ... AS\: Compilation was incorrect if the source code contained characters that are not supported by the default file encoding. changelog_1331_li=Issue 176\: the JdbcDataSource now also supports a 'description' property. changelog_1332_li=The Shell tool threw a ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException after 20 statements. changelog_1333_li=When using the small version of H2 ('jarClient'), the first call to Connection.createBlob (or similar) could throw a ClassNotFoundException because the file org.h2.store.fs.FileSystemZip is not included. This missing class is now ignored. changelog_1334_li=Literals of type BIGINT now have the correct data type. changelog_1335_h2=Version 1.2.131 (2010-03-05) changelog_1336_li=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_1337_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_1338_li=After the database was closed, a null pointer exception could occur in Database.flush. changelog_1339_li=An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException could occur in the page store (eg. on "delete from table"). Fixed. changelog_1340_h2=Version 1.2.130 (2010-02-26) changelog_1341_li=EXPLAIN\: The query plan now contains ".tableScan" if a table scan is used. changelog_1342_li=IN(..)\: when combining and IN(..) condition with a condition that didn't use an index, the result could contain duplicate rows. changelog_1343_li=IN(..)\: the index was not used if there were multiple IN(..) conditions. changelog_1344_li=For foreign key constraints, the metadata column INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INDEXES.CONSTRAINT_NAME was not set for non-unique indexes. changelog_1345_li=PostgreSQL compatibility\: when using the following exception was thrown\: Column "T.TYPTYPMOD" not found. Fixed. This is only when using psqlodbc_08_04*. changelog_1346_li=A tool to migrate an old database from the non-page store format to the newest version has been added in src/tools/org/h2/dev/util/Migrate.java. This file is not included in the jar file currently. changelog_1347_li=When using temporary tables, the database didn't shrink sometimes when closing. Also, sometimes a database could not recover normally. changelog_1348_li=Large transactions could run out of heap space. The maximum size of a transaction is now much larger. changelog_1349_li=The default setting for the system property h2.webMaxValueLength is now 100000 (it was 10000 before). changelog_1350_li=Creating a database was delayed about 2 seconds if the directory didn't exist. changelog_1351_li=Implemented INIT feature. If the database URL contains ";INIT\=...;" then the DDL or DML commands following are executed on startup. Example URL\: jdbc\:h2\:mem\:test;INIT\=RUNSCRIPT FROM '~/create.sql' (patch from Kerry Sainsbury). changelog_1352_h2=Version 1.2.129 (2010-02-19) changelog_1353_li=The methods of the CloseListener are added to the Trigger interface. The interface CloseListener is removed. This is potentially a breaking change for existing triggers. changelog_1354_li=CREATE ALIAS\: error message when compiling Java code have been improved. changelog_1355_li=MVCC\: creating a table with an incorrect constraint could cause strange errors. changelog_1356_li=Hash indexes now are only used for single column indexes. changelog_1357_li=The cache types WEAK_* and TQ are no longer supported. A weak reference cache never frees up memory so it's the same as having a very large cache size. The TQ cache was not included in the jar file since a longer time, and was not tested. changelog_1358_li=The file system abstraction no longer throws SQL exceptions. changelog_1359_li=DatabaseEventListener.diskSpaceIsLow has changed. changelog_1360_li=The CompressTool no longer throw as SQL exceptions. Instead, it throws runtime exceptions. changelog_1361_li=SimpleResultSet.addColumn and addRow now can throw a IllegalStateException instead of a SQLException. changelog_1362_li=When doing an index lookup, decimal values with the same value but different scale (for example 0.00 and 0.0) where not considered equal in version 1.2.128. Now they are (unlike BigDecimal.equals()). changelog_1363_li=The BNF parser now uses the visitor pattern. changelog_1364_li=Converting a UUID to bytes was incorrect. Because of that, updatable result sets on tables with UUID primary key did not work. changelog_1365_li=The database URL property DATABASE_EVENT_LISTENER_OBJECT is no longer supported (there are problems passing objects when the PostgreSQL driver is installed as well). changelog_1366_li=H2 Console\: asynchronous login (using a DatabaseEventListener) is no longer supported. changelog_1367_li=A workaround for a Windows socket problem has been implemented. Thanks a lot to Sergi Vladykin. changelog_1368_li=The Recover tool did not convert correctly convert CLOB data with non-ASCII characters. changelog_1369_li=Tools\: the method run(String... args) has been renamed to runTool(String... args). changelog_1370_li=Server.startWebServer(Connection) was not working as expected. changelog_1371_li=The database URL option ACCESS_MODE_LOG is no longer supported. changelog_1372_li=The database URL option RECOVER has currently no effect. changelog_1373_li=Converting an old (non-page store) database is no longer supported using this version. changelog_1374_li=The following system properties are no longer supported\: h2.overflowExceptions, h2.optimizeDropDependencies, h2.optimizeGroupSorted, h2.optimizeMinMax, h2.optimizeNot, h2.optimizeIn, h2.optimizeInJoin, h2.reuseSpace*. Most of then were there for a long time, but always with the same value. There was no unit test with the other value. So changing them was potentially dangerous (not a lot, but still). changelog_1375_li=The setting LOG has currently no effect (it only had an effect when the page store was disabled). changelog_1376_li=Disabling the page store is no longer supported. The old storage mechanism has been removed, shrinking the jar file size by almost 10%. changelog_1377_li=The translated resources are now stored in UTF-8 format. changelog_1378_li=The Windows service wrapper now detects if multiple versions of H2 are installed. changelog_1379_h2=Version 1.2.128 (2010-01-30) changelog_1380_li=There are known errors on rollback when the page store is disabled and at the same time MVCC is used. See http\://code.google.com/p/h2database/issues/detail?id\=158 changelog_1381_li=The DeleteDbFiles tool deleted all files in the .lob.db directory, even files that didn't belong to the database. changelog_1382_li=Automatic conversion of old databases to the page store format failed if the database contained LOB files. changelog_1383_li=Nested subqueries didn't work for INSERT INTO and IN(..). Example\: insert into test ((select 1)); changelog_1384_li=If the database was already closed using SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY, closing a second connection could throw a NullPointerException if there was a local temporary table. changelog_1385_li=Less classes are loaded when using the database in embedded mode. changelog_1386_li=The information schema tables are only initialized when needed. This reduces memory usage and speeds up creating in-memory databases. Each in-memory database needs about 8 KB of heap memory. changelog_1387_li=Nested UNION/INTERSECT queries with brackets could produce the wrong result if used within a subquery. Example\: select count(*) from (select 1 union (select 2 intersect select 2)) x; changelog_1388_li=Comparing an column against a constant expression with a higher precision or length than the column could give wrong results (the expression was truncated before comparing). changelog_1389_li=Improved PostgreSQL compatibility (support SHOW DEFAULT_TRANSACTION_ISOLATION). changelog_1390_li=Documentation\: the javadocs for Csv.write and read used the wrong default charset. changelog_1391_li=MVCC\: if the table was locked in exclusive mode (such as SELECT ... FOR UPDATE), another session could query the table. This is now longer possible. changelog_1392_li=If a FOR UPDATE query was executed twice (using a PreparedStatement), the table was not locked. changelog_1393_li=Triggers\: INSTEAD OF triggers are now supported. Such triggers can be defined on views. changelog_1394_li=New system property h2.identifiersToUpper. If set to false, identifiers in SQL statements are case sensitive even if they are not quoted. changelog_1395_li=Slightly improved performance if the table is already locked. changelog_1396_li=CompressLZF\: faster decompression. changelog_1397_li=PgServer\: the wrong size was sent for VARCHAR data. Thanks again to Sergi Vladykin for the patch. changelog_1398_li=Serialized access mode (server-less multi-connection mode)\: fixed getGeneratedKeys() for sequences. changelog_1399_h2=Version 1.2.127 (2010-01-15) changelog_1400_li=Serialized access mode (server-less multi-connection mode)\: sequences did not work as expected (there were gaps in generated values when using multiple connections). changelog_1401_li=Page store\: new databases can not be opened with older versions. changelog_1402_li=Page store\: adding data to new database is now faster. changelog_1403_li=File system\: getting the file name from a path is now faster. This should speed up BLOB and CLOB access. changelog_1404_li=PgServer\: incorrect SQL types were returned in result set meta data. Concurrently opening a database could fail (PG catalog initialization was not synchronized). Thanks a lot to Sergi Vladykin for providing the patches\! changelog_1405_li=SHOW COLUMNS did not work correctly if there where multiple indexes on the same columns. changelog_1406_li=Page store\: the wrong write count was written to the database header. This could cause the server-less multi-connection mode to fail. changelog_1407_li=Result sets larger than 2 GB threw an exception "Negative seek offset". Fixed. changelog_1408_li=If the system property h2.check was set to false, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException could occur. changelog_1409_li=Alter table is now supported even if a table has views defined. (Patch from Kerry Sainsbury). changelog_1410_li=Fulltext search\: exceptions within the fulltext search package had the wrong SQL state. changelog_1411_li=The Lucene fulltext search ignored transaction rollback. Fixed using a trigger on rollback. changelog_1412_li=Trigger can now be called on rollback. changelog_1413_li=The shell script h2.sh ignored command line line arguments. changelog_1414_li=When running H2 in the Google AppEngine for Java, a AccessControlException could be thrown when trying to open a read-only database. Fixed. changelog_1415_li=The user home directory prefix (~) is now only expanded when followed by a slash or backslash, or standing alone. changelog_1416_li=Native fulltext search\: before inserting or deleting data, FT_INIT() had to be called. This is no longer required. changelog_1417_li=The .trace.db file is now only created if required. changelog_1418_li=Shell tool\: improved PostgreSQL compatibility. changelog_1419_li=Trying to open a database in read-only mode when a .lock.db file exists will now fail with a nice error message. changelog_1420_li=H2 Console\: data that is too long is now abbreviated as follows\: text... (100000 characters). A large binary is abbreviated as follows\: abcdef... (100000 bytes). changelog_1421_li=Faster data conversion from BIGINT or INT to DECIMAL. changelog_1422_li=Server-less multi-connection mode\: try to delete log files if switching between read/write operations. changelog_1423_li=CompressLZF\: Faster decompress and improved javadocs changelog_1424_h2=Version 1.2.126 (2009-12-18) changelog_1425_li=The ChangeFileEncryption tool will now fail with an exception if the database is still in use. The Backup tool will also fail except when running in quiet mode. changelog_1426_li=CSVREAD\: when reading the column names from the CSV file, column names that contain no special characters are considered case insensitive now. changelog_1427_li=Optimization index conditions of the form 'column\=NULL' (which is always false; unlike 'column IS NULL'). changelog_1428_li=Script command and tool\: the primary key constraint is now listed before inserting the data. This will result in a smaller database when using the page store. changelog_1429_li=Statements with IN(SELECT..) conditions could produce the wrong result. Example\: index on id, name; query\: select * from test where id between 1 and 3 and name in (select 'World'). changelog_1430_li=Statements with IN(..) conditions could produce the wrong result when using views or nested select statements. Example\: index on id; index on name; query\: select * from (select * from test) where id\=1 and name in('a', 'b'). select * from (select * from test) where id\=1 and name in('Hello', 'World'). changelog_1431_li=Page store\: a rollback of a relatively large transaction could fail with an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException or a 'row not found' exception in the PageBtreeIndex in some cases. changelog_1432_li=JaQu\: the decompiler has been improved, and a few test cases already work. It is still incomplete however. changelog_1433_li=LIKE\: any letter is now allowed after the escape character (which is still '\\' by default). Previously, an exception was thrown (unlike other databases) if it was not the escape character, '_' or '%'. If the escape character appears at the end of the pattern, the result is it is ignored (like PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server). changelog_1434_li=The reserve heap memory is no longer used. changelog_1435_li=Database.checkpoint() could throw a NullPointerException. changelog_1436_h2=Version 1.2.125 (2009-12-06) changelog_1437_li=Lucene fulltext search\: the Lucene field names now match the table column names, except if the column names start with _ (in which case another _ is prepended). Unfortunately this change means existing fulltext indexes need to be re-built. changelog_1438_li=The shell tool now has a very simple statement history. changelog_1439_li=The zip file system implementation now supports the '~' home directory prefix. Example database URL\: jdbc\:h2\:zip\:~/test.zip\!/test changelog_1440_li=Right outer joins on tables that were already 'inner joined' was processed incorrectly. changelog_1441_li=Temporary files from LOB objects were not deleted early enough when using the server mode. changelog_1442_li=Trying to alter a temporary table threw a strange exception. It is still not possible to do that, but the exception message is better now. changelog_1443_li=When the system property h2.maxMemoryRowsDistinct was set, and using SELECT DISTINCT, the temporary table was not correctly dropped. This could cause problems in recovery when the process was killed. changelog_1444_li=Trigger that are called before a select statement are now supported. This allows to create tables that work like materialized views. changelog_1445_li=Non-row based triggers were called even if the action didn't match the declared action (INSERT triggers were also called when deleting rows). This has been changed. The MERGE statement calls both INSERT and DELETE triggers. changelog_1446_li=Statements with IN(..) conditions could produce the wrong result or a data conversion error (since version 1.2.120). Examples\: index on id, name, condition\: id\=1 and name in('Hello', 'x'); index on id, query\: select * from (select * from test) where id\=1 and name in('Hello', 'World'). changelog_1447_li=The CompressTool was not multithreading safe. Because of this, the following database operations where also not multithreading safe (even when using different databases)\: the SCRIPT command (only when using compression), the COMPRESS function, and storing CLOB or BLOB data (only when compression is enabled). changelog_1448_li=The compression algorithm "LZF" is now about 33% faster than before when compressing small block (around 2 KB). It is much faster than Deflate, but the compression ratio is lower. Some of the optimizations are from Sam Van Oort, thanks a lot\! changelog_1449_li=Compressing large blocks of data didn't work when using the "Deflate" compression algorithm.

When is the Next Release? faq_1020_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_1021_li=Apache Harmony\: there seems to be a bug in Harmony that affects H2. See <a href\="https\://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6505">HARMONY-6505</a>. faq_1022_li=Tomcat and Glassfish 3 set most static fields (final or non-final) to <code>null</code> when unloading a web application. This can cause a <code>NullPointerException</code> in H2 versions 1.1.107 and older, and may still not work in newer versions. Please report it if you run into this issue. In Tomcat >\= 6.0 this behavior can be disabled by setting the system property <code>org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.ENABLE_CLEAR_REFERENCES\=false</code>, however Tomcat may then run out of memory. A known workaround is to put the <code>h2*.jar</code> file in a shared <code>lib</code> directory (<code>common/lib</code>). faq_1023_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. faq_1024_li=When using Install4j before 4.1.4 on Linux and enabling <code>pack200</code>, the <code>h2*.jar</code> becomes corrupted by the install process, causing application failure. A workaround is to add an empty file <code>h2*.jar.nopack</code> next to the <code>h2*.jar</code> file. This problem is solved in Install4j 4.1.4. faq_1025_p=\ For a complete list, see <a href\="http\://code.google.com/p/h2database/issues/list">Open Issues</a>. faq_1026_h3=Is this Database Engine Open Source? faq_1027_p=\ Yes. It is free to use and distribute, and the source code is included. See also under license. faq_1028_h3=How to Create a New Database? faq_1029_p=\ By default, a new database is automatically created if it does not yet exist. See <a href\="tutorial.html\#creating_new_databases">Creating New Databases</a>. faq_1030_h3=How to Connect to a Database? faq_1031_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_1032_h3=Where are the Database Files Stored? faq_1033_p=\ When using database URLs like <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code>, the database is stored in the user directory. For Windows, this is usually <code>C\:\\Documents and Settings\\<userName></code>. If the base directory is not set (as in <code>jdbc\:h2\:test</code>), 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 <code><Installation Directory>/bin</code>. The base directory can be set in the database URL. A fixed or relative path can be used. When using the URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:file\:data/sample</code>, the database is stored in the directory <code>data</code> (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 name (and for Windows, drive name). Example\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:file\:C\:/data/test</code> faq_1034_h3=What is the Size Limit (Maximum Size) of a Database? faq_1035_p=\ See <a href\="advanced.html\#limits_limitations">Limits and Limitations</a>. faq_1036_h3=Is it Reliable? faq_1037_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 there are probably still bugs that have not yet been found (as with most software). Some features are known to be dangerous, they are only supported for situations where performance is more important than reliability. Those dangerous features are\: faq_1038_li=Disabling the transaction log or FileDescriptor.sync() using LOG\=0 or LOG\=1. faq_1039_li=Using the transaction isolation level <code>READ_UNCOMMITTED</code> (<code>LOCK_MODE 0</code>) while at the same time using multiple connections. faq_1040_li=Disabling database file protection using (setting <code>FILE_LOCK</code> to <code>NO</code> in the database URL). faq_1041_li=Disabling referential integrity using <code>SET REFERENTIAL_INTEGRITY FALSE</code>. faq_1042_p=\ In addition to that, running out of memory should be avoided. In older versions, OutOfMemory errors while using the database could corrupt a databases. faq_1043_p=\ This database is well tested using automated test cases. The tests run every night and run for more than one hour. But not all areas of this database are equally well tested. When using one of the following features for production, please ensure your use case is well tested (if possible with automated test cases). The areas that are not well tested are\: faq_1044_li=Platforms other than Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS X, or JVMs other than Sun 1.5 or 1.6 faq_1045_li=The features <code>AUTO_SERVER</code> and <code>AUTO_RECONNECT</code> faq_1046_li=The file locking method 'Serialized' faq_1047_li=Cluster mode, 2-phase commit, savepoints faq_1048_li=24/7 operation faq_1049_li=Fulltext search faq_1050_li=Operations on LOBs over 2 GB faq_1051_li=Some operations on databases larger than 500 MB may be slower than expected faq_1052_li=The optimizer may not always select the best plan faq_1053_p=\ Areas considered experimental are\: faq_1054_li=The PostgreSQL server faq_1055_li=Multi-threading within the engine using <code>SET MULTI_THREADED\=1</code> faq_1056_li=Compatibility modes for other databases (only some features are implemented) faq_1057_li=The soft reference cache (<code>CACHE_TYPE\=SOFT_LRU</code>). It might not improve performance, and out of memory issues have been reported. faq_1058_p=\ Some users have reported that after a power failure, the database cannot be opened sometimes. In this case, use a backup of the database or the Recover tool. Please report such problems. The plan is that the database automatically recovers in all situations. faq_1059_h3=Why is Opening my Database Slow? faq_1060_p=\ To find out what the problem is, use the H2 Console and click on "Test Connection" instead of "Login". After the "Login Successful" appears, click on it (it's a link). This will list the top stack traces. Then either analyze this yourself, or post those stack traces in the Google Group. faq_1061_p=\ Other possible reasons are\: the database is very big (many GB), or contains linked tables that are slow to open. faq_1062_h3=My Query is Slow faq_1063_p=\ Slow <code>SELECT</code> (or <code>DELETE, UPDATE, MERGE</code>) statement can have multiple reasons. Follow this checklist\: faq_1064_li=Run <code>ANALYZE</code> (see documentation for details). faq_1065_li=Run the query with <code>EXPLAIN</code> and check if indexes are used (see documentation for details). faq_1066_li=If required, create additional indexes and try again using <code>ANALYZE</code> and <code>EXPLAIN</code>. faq_1067_li=If it doesn't help please report the problem. faq_1068_h3=H2 is Very Slow faq_1069_p=\ By default, H2 closes the database when the last connection is closed. If your application closes the only connection after each operation, the database is opened and closed a lot, which is quite slow. There are multiple ways to solve this problem, see <a href\="performance.html\#database_performance_tuning">Database Performance Tuning</a>. faq_1070_h3=Column Names are Incorrect? faq_1071_p=\ For the query <code>SELECT ID AS X FROM TEST</code> the method <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns <code>ID</code>, I expect it to return <code>X</code>. What's wrong? faq_1072_p=\ This is not a bug. According the the JDBC specification, the method <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> should return the name of the column and not the alias name. If you need the alias name, use <a href\="http\://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSetMetaData.html\#getColumnLabel(int)"><code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnLabel()</code></a>. Some other database don't work like this yet (they don't follow the JDBC specification). If you need compatibility with those databases, use the <a href\="features.html\#compatibility">Compatibility Mode</a>, or append <a href\="../javadoc/org/h2/constant/DbSettings.html\#ALIAS_COLUMN_NAME"><code>;ALIAS_COLUMN_NAME\=TRUE</code></a> to the database URL. faq_1073_p=\ This also applies to DatabaseMetaData calls that return a result set. The columns in the JDBC API are column labels, not column names. faq_1074_h3=Float is Double? faq_1075_p=\ For a table defined as <code>CREATE TABLE TEST(X FLOAT)</code> the method <code>ResultSet.getObject()</code> returns a <code>java.lang.Double</code>, I expect it to return a <code>java.lang.Float</code>. What's wrong? faq_1076_p=\ This is not a bug. According the the JDBC specification, the JDBC data type <code>FLOAT</code> is equivalent to <code>DOUBLE</code>, and both are mapped to <code>java.lang.Double</code>. See also <a href\="http\://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/mapping.html\#1055162"> Mapping SQL and Java Types - 8.3.10 FLOAT</a>. faq_1077_h3=Is the GCJ Version Stable? Faster? faq_1078_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. faq_1079_h3=How to Translate this Project? faq_1080_p=\ For more information, see <a href\="build.html\#translating">Build/Translating</a>. faq_1081_h3=How to Contribute to this Project? faq_1082_p=\ There are various way to help develop an open source project like H2. The first step could be to <a href\="build.html\#translating">translate</a> the error messages and the GUI to your native language. Then, you could <a href\="build.html\#providing_patches">provide patches</a>. Please start with small patches. That could be adding a test case to improve the <a href\="build.html\#automated">code coverage</a> (the target code coverage for this project is 90%, higher is better). You will have to <a href\="build.html">develop, build and run the tests</a>. Once you are familiar with the code, you could implement missing features from the <a href\="roadmap.html">feature request list</a>. I suggest to start with very small features that are easy to implement. Keep in mind to provide test cases as well. features_1000_h1=Features features_1001_a=\ Feature List features_1002_a=\ Comparison to Other Database Engines features_1003_a=\ H2 in Use

The last release was February 2006. features_1256_h3=McKoi features_1257_p=\ It looks like the development of this database has stopped. The last release was August 2004. features_1258_h2=H2 in Use features_1259_p=\ For a list of applications that work with or use H2, see\: <a href\="links.html">Links</a>. features_1260_h2=Connection Modes features_1261_p=\ The following connection modes are supported\: features_1262_li=Embedded mode (local connections using JDBC) features_1263_li=Server mode (remote connections using JDBC or ODBC over TCP/IP) features_1264_li=Mixed mode (local and remote connections at the same time) features_1265_h3=Embedded Mode features_1266_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_1267_h3=Server Mode features_1268_p=\ When using the server mode (sometimes called remote 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, by connecting to this server. Internally, the server process opens the database(s) in embedded mode. features_1269_p=\ The server 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 per server, or on the number of open connections. features_1270_h3=Mixed Mode features_1271_p=\ The mixed mode is a combination of the embedded and the server mode. The first application that connects to a database does that in embedded mode, but also starts a server so that other applications (running in different processes or virtual machines) can concurrently access the same data. The local connections are as fast as if the database is used in just the embedded mode, while the remote connections are a bit slower. features_1272_p=\ The server can be started and stopped from within the application (using the server API), or automatically (automatic mixed mode). When using the <a href\="\#auto_mixed_mode">automatic mixed mode</a>, all clients that want to connect to the database (no matter if it's an local or remote connection) can do so using the exact same database URL. features_1273_h2=Database URL Overview features_1274_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. features_1275_th=Topic features_1276_th=URL Format and Examples features_1277_a=Embedded (local) connection features_1278_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:[file\:][<path>]<databaseName> features_1279_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:~/test features_1280_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:file\:/data/sample features_1281_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:file\:C\:/data/sample (Windows only) features_1282_a=In-memory (private) features_1283_td=jdbc\:h2\:mem\: features_1284_a=In-memory (named) features_1285_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:mem\:<databaseName> features_1286_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:mem\:test_mem features_1287_a=Server mode (remote connections) features_1288_a=\ using TCP/IP features_1289_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://<server>[\:<port>]/[<path>]<databaseName> features_1290_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost/~/test features_1291_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://dbserv\:8084/~/sample jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost/mem\:test features_1292_a=Server mode (remote connections) features_1293_a=\ using SSL/TLS features_1294_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:ssl\://<server>[\:<port>]/<databaseName> features_1295_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:ssl\://secureserv\:8085/~/sample; features_1296_a=Using encrypted files features_1297_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;CIPHER\=[AES|XTEA] features_1298_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:ssl\://secureserv/~/testdb;CIPHER\=AES features_1299_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:file\:~/secure;CIPHER\=XTEA features_1300_a=File locking methods features_1301_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;FILE_LOCK\={FILE|SOCKET|NO} features_1302_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:file\:~/private;CIPHER\=XTEA;FILE_LOCK\=SOCKET features_1303_a=Only open if it already exists features_1304_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;IFEXISTS\=TRUE features_1305_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:file\:~/sample;IFEXISTS\=TRUE features_1306_a=Don't close the database when the VM exits features_1307_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT\=FALSE features_1308_a=Execute SQL on connection features_1309_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;INIT\=RUNSCRIPT FROM '~/create.sql' features_1310_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:file\:~/sample;INIT\=RUNSCRIPT FROM '~/create.sql'\\\\;RUNSCRIPT FROM '~/populate.sql' features_1311_a=User name and/or password features_1312_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>[;USER\=<username>][;PASSWORD\=<value>] features_1313_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:file\:~/sample;USER\=sa;PASSWORD\=123 features_1314_a=Debug trace settings features_1315_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;TRACE_LEVEL_FILE\=<level 0..3> features_1316_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:file\:~/sample;TRACE_LEVEL_FILE\=3 features_1317_a=Ignore unknown settings features_1318_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;IGNORE_UNKNOWN_SETTINGS\=TRUE features_1319_a=Custom file access mode features_1320_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;ACCESS_MODE_DATA\=rws features_1321_a=Database in a zip file features_1322_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:zip\:<zipFileName>\!/<databaseName> features_1323_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:zip\:~/db.zip\!/test features_1324_a=Compatibility mode features_1325_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;MODE\=<databaseType> features_1326_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=MYSQL features_1327_a=Auto-reconnect features_1328_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;AUTO_RECONNECT\=TRUE features_1329_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost/~/test;AUTO_RECONNECT\=TRUE features_1330_a=Automatic mixed mode features_1331_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE features_1332_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:~/test;AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE features_1333_a=Page size features_1334_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;PAGE_SIZE\=512 features_1335_a=Changing other settings features_1336_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:<url>;<setting>\=<value>[;<setting>\=<value>...] features_1337_td=\ jdbc\:h2\:file\:~/sample;TRACE_LEVEL_SYSTEM_OUT\=3 features_1338_h2=Connecting to an Embedded (Local) Database features_1339_p=\ The database URL for connecting to a local database is <code>jdbc\:h2\:[file\:][<path>]<databaseName></code>. The prefix <code>file\:</code> is optional. 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 <code>File.createTempFile</code>). To point to the user home directory, use <code>~/</code>, as in\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code>. features_1340_h2=In-Memory Databases features_1341_p=\ For certain use cases (for example\: rapid prototyping, testing, high performance operations, read-only databases), it may not be required to persist data, or persist changes to the data. This database supports the in-memory mode, where the data is not persisted. features_1342_p=\ In some cases, only one connection to a in-memory 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_1343_p=\ Sometimes multiple connections to the same in-memory database are required. In this case, the database URL must include a name. Example\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:mem\:db1</code>. Accessing the same database using this URL only works within the same virtual machine and class loader environment. features_1344_p=\ In-memory can be accessed 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>. features_1345_p=\ By default, closing the last connection to a database closes the database. For an in-memory database, this means the content is lost. To keep the database open, add <code>;DB_CLOSE_DELAY\=-1</code> to the database URL. To keep the content of an in-memory database as long as the virtual machine is alive, use <code>jdbc\:h2\:mem\:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY\=-1</code>. features_1346_h2=Database Files Encryption features_1347_p=\ The database files can be encrypted. Two encryption algorithms are supported\: AES and XTEA. To use file encryption, you need to specify the encryption algorithm (the 'cipher') and the file password (in addition to the user password) when connecting to the database. features_1348_h3=Creating a New Database with File Encryption features_1349_p=\ By default, a new database is automatically created if it does not exist yet. To create an encrypted database, connect to it as it would already exist. features_1350_h3=Connecting to an Encrypted Database features_1351_p=\ The encryption algorithm is set in the database URL, and the file password is specified in the password field, before the user password. A single space separates the file password and the user password; the file password itself may not contain spaces. File passwords and user passwords are case sensitive. Here is an example to connect to a password-encrypted database\: features_1352_h3=Encrypting or Decrypting a Database features_1353_p=\ To encrypt an existing database, use the <code>ChangeFileEncryption</code> tool. This tool can also decrypt an encrypted database, or change the file encryption key. The tool is available from within the H2 Console in the tools section, or you can run it from the command line. The following command line will encrypt the database <code>test</code> in the user home directory with the file password <code>filepwd</code> and the encryption algorithm AES\: features_1354_h2=Database File Locking features_1355_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_1356_p=\ The following file locking methods are implemented\: features_1357_li=The default method is <code>FILE</code> and uses a watchdog thread to protect the database file. The watchdog reads the lock file each second. features_1358_li=The second method is <code>SOCKET</code> 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 one (and always the same) computer. features_1359_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. Failing to do so will result in a corrupted database. Using the method <code>NO</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=\ To open the database with a different file locking method, use the parameter <code>FILE_LOCK</code>. The following code opens the database with the 'socket' locking method\: features_1361_p=\ For more information about the algorithms, see <a href\="advanced.html\#file_locking_protocols">Advanced / File Locking Protocols</a>. features_1362_h2=Opening a Database Only if it Already Exists features_1363_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 databases, and only allow to open existing databases. To do this, add <code>;IFEXISTS\=TRUE</code> to the database 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_1364_h2=Closing a Database features_1365_h3=Delayed Database Closing features_1366_p=\ Usually, a 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 to keep at least one connection open. The automatic closing of a database can be delayed or disabled with the SQL statement <code>SET DB_CLOSE_DELAY <seconds></code>. The parameter <seconds> specifies the number of seconds to keep a database open after the last connection to it was closed. The following statement will keep a database open for 10 seconds after the last connection was closed\: features_1367_p=\ The value -1 means the database is not 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_1368_h3=Don't Close a Database when the VM Exits features_1369_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, 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_1370_h2=Execute SQL on Connection features_1371_p=\ Sometimes, particularly for in-memory databases, it is useful to be able to execute DDL or DML commands automatically when a client connects to a database. This functionality is enabled via the INIT property. Note that multiple commands may be passed to INIT, but the semicolon delimiter must be escaped, as in the example below. features_1372_h2=Ignore Unknown Settings features_1373_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 <code>PREFERDOSLIKELINEENDS</code> and <code>IGNOREDRIVERPRIVILEGES</code> 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 <code>;IGNORE_UNKNOWN_SETTINGS\=TRUE</code> to the database URL. features_1374_h2=Changing Other Settings when Opening a Connection features_1375_p=\ In addition to the settings already described, other database settings can be passed in the database URL. Adding <code>;setting\=value</code> at the end of a database URL is the same as executing the statement <code>SET setting value</code> just after connecting. For a list of supported settings, see <a href\="grammar.html">SQL Grammar</a>. features_1376_h2=Custom File Access Mode features_1377_p=\ Usually, the database opens the database file with the access mode <code>rw</code>, meaning read-write (except for read only databases, where the mode <code>r</code> is used). To open a database in read-only mode if the database file is not read-only, use <code>ACCESS_MODE_DATA\=r</code>. Also supported are <code>rws</code> and <code>rwd</code>. This setting must be specified in the database URL\: features_1378_p=\ For more information see <a href\="advanced.html\#durability_problems">Durability Problems</a>. On many operating systems the access mode <code>rws</code> does not guarantee that the data is written to the disk. features_1379_h2=Multiple Connections features_1380_h3=Opening Multiple Databases at the Same Time features_1381_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_1382_h3=Multiple Connections to the Same Database\: Client/Server features_1383_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_1384_h3=Multithreading Support features_1385_p=\ This database is multithreading-safe. That means, if an application is multi-threaded, it does not need to worry about synchronizing access to the database. Internally, most requests to the same database are synchronized. That means an application can use multiple threads that access the same database at the same time, however if one thread executes a long running query, the other threads need to wait. features_1386_p=\ An application should normally use one connection per thread. This database synchronizes access to the same connection, but other databases may not do this. features_1387_h3=Locking, Lock-Timeout, Deadlocks features_1388_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). All locks are released when the transaction commits or rolls back. When using the default transaction isolation level 'read committed', read locks are already released after each statement. features_1389_p=\ 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 a connection cannot get a lock for a specified time, then a lock timeout exception is thrown. features_1390_p=\ Usually, <code>SELECT</code> statements 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 <code>SELECT ... FOR UPDATE</code>. The statements <code>COMMIT</code> and <code>ROLLBACK</code> releases all open locks. The commands <code>SAVEPOINT</code> and <code>ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT</code> 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. The following statements generate locks\: features_1391_th=Type of Lock features_1392_th=SQL Statement features_1393_td=Read features_1394_td=SELECT * FROM TEST; features_1395_td=\ CALL SELECT MAX(ID) FROM TEST; features_1396_td=\ SCRIPT; features_1397_td=Write features_1398_td=SELECT * FROM TEST WHERE 1\=0 FOR UPDATE; features_1399_td=Write features_1400_td=INSERT INTO TEST VALUES(1, 'Hello'); features_1401_td=\ INSERT INTO TEST SELECT * FROM TEST; features_1402_td=\ UPDATE TEST SET NAME\='Hi'; features_1403_td=\ DELETE FROM TEST; features_1404_td=Write features_1405_td=ALTER TABLE TEST ...; features_1406_td=\ CREATE INDEX ... ON TEST ...; features_1407_td=\ DROP INDEX ...; features_1408_p=\ The number of seconds until a lock timeout exception is thrown can be set separately for each connection using the SQL command <code>SET LOCK_TIMEOUT <milliseconds></code>. The initial lock timeout (that is the timeout used for new connections) can be set using the SQL command <code>SET DEFAULT_LOCK_TIMEOUT <milliseconds></code>. The default lock timeout is persistent. features_1409_h2=Database File Layout features_1410_p=\ The following files are created for persistent databases\: features_1411_th=File Name features_1412_th=Description features_1413_th=Number of Files features_1414_td=\ test.h2.db features_1415_td=\ Database file. features_1416_td=\ Contains the transaction log, indexes, and data for all tables. features_1417_td=\ Format\: <code><database>.h2.db</code> features_1418_td=\ 1 per database features_1419_td=\ test.lock.db features_1420_td=\ Database lock file. features_1421_td=\ Automatically (re-)created while the database is in use. features_1422_td=\ Format\: <code><database>.lock.db</code> features_1423_td=\ 1 per database (only if in use) features_1424_td=\ test.trace.db features_1425_td=\ Trace file (if the trace option is enabled). features_1426_td=\ Contains trace information. features_1427_td=\ Format\: <code><database>.trace.db</code> features_1428_td=\ Renamed to <code><database>.trace.db.old</code> is too big. features_1429_td=\ 0 or 1 per database features_1430_td=\ test.lobs.db/* features_1431_td=\ Directory containing one file for each features_1432_td=\ BLOB or CLOB value larger than a certain size. features_1433_td=\ Format\: <code><id>.t<tableId>.lob.db</code> features_1434_td=\ 1 per large object features_1435_td=\ test.123.temp.db features_1436_td=\ Temporary file. features_1437_td=\ Contains a temporary blob or a large result set. features_1438_td=\ Format\: <code><database>.<id>.temp.db</code> features_1439_td=\ 1 per object features_1440_h3=Moving and Renaming Database Files features_1441_p=\ Database name and location are not stored inside the database files. features_1442_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 of the same database start with the same name and the respective extensions are unchanged). features_1443_p=\ As there is no platform specific data in the files, they can be moved to other operating systems without problems. features_1444_h3=Backup features_1445_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_1446_p=\ To backup data while the database is running, the SQL command <code>SCRIPT</code> can be used. features_1447_h2=Logging and Recovery features_1448_p=\ Whenever data is modified in the database and those changes are committed, the changes are written to the transaction log (except for in-memory objects). The changes to the main data area itself are usually written later on, to optimize disk access. If there is a power failure, the main data area is not up-to-date, but because the changes are in the transaction log, the next time the database is opened, the changes are re-applied automatically. features_1449_h2=Compatibility features_1450_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_1451_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 <code>IGNORECASE\=TRUE</code> to the database URL (example\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;IGNORECASE\=TRUE</code>). features_1452_h3=Compatibility Modes features_1453_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 differences to the regular mode\: features_1454_h3=DB2 Compatibility Mode features_1455_p=\ To use the IBM DB2 mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=DB2</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE DB2</code>. features_1456_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. features_1457_li=Support for the syntax <code>[OFFSET .. ROW] [FETCH ... ONLY]</code> as an alternative for <code>LIMIT .. OFFSET</code>. features_1458_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. features_1459_h3=Derby Compatibility Mode features_1460_p=\ To use the Apache Derby mode, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MODE\=Derby</code> or the SQL statement <code>SET MODE Derby</code>. features_1461_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. features_1462_li=For unique indexes, <code>NULL</code> is distinct. That means only one row with <code>NULL</code> in one of the columns is allowed. features_1463_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. features_1464_h3=HSQLDB Compatibility Mode features_1465_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_1466_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. features_1467_li=When converting the scale of decimal data, the number is only converted if the new scale is smaller than the current scale. Usually, the scale is converted and 0s are added if required. features_1468_li=For unique indexes, <code>NULL</code> is distinct. That means only one row with <code>NULL</code> in one of the columns is allowed. features_1469_li=Text can be concatenated using '+'. features_1470_h3=MS SQL Server Compatibility Mode features_1471_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_1472_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. features_1473_li=Identifiers may be quoted using square brackets as in <code>[Test]</code>. features_1474_li=For unique indexes, <code>NULL</code> is distinct. That means only one row with <code>NULL</code> in one of the columns is allowed. features_1475_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. features_1476_li=Text can be concatenated using '+'. features_1477_h3=MySQL Compatibility Mode features_1478_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_1479_li=When inserting data, if a column is defined to be <code>NOT NULL</code> and <code>NULL</code> 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_1480_li=Creating indexes in the <code>CREATE TABLE</code> statement is allowed using <code>INDEX(..)</code> or <code>KEY(..)</code>. Example\: <code>create table test(id int primary key, name varchar(255), key idx_name(name));</code> features_1481_li=Meta data calls return identifiers in lower case. features_1482_li=When converting a floating point number to an integer, the fractional digits are not truncated, but the value is rounded. features_1483_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. features_1484_h3=Oracle Compatibility Mode features_1485_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_1486_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. features_1487_li=When using unique indexes, multiple rows with <code>NULL</code> in all columns are allowed, however it is not allowed to have multiple rows with the same values otherwise. features_1488_li=Concatenating <code>NULL</code> with another value results in the other value. features_1489_h3=PostgreSQL Compatibility Mode features_1490_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_1491_li=For aliased columns, <code>ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName()</code> returns the alias name and <code>getTableName()</code> returns <code>null</code>. features_1492_li=When converting a floating point number to an integer, the fractional digits are not be truncated, but the value is rounded. features_1493_li=The system columns <code>CTID</code> and <code>OID</code> are supported. features_1494_h2=Auto-Reconnect features_1495_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. To enable this mode, append <code>;AUTO_RECONNECT\=TRUE</code> to the database URL. features_1496_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 <code>INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SESSION_STATE</code> contains all client side state that is re-created. features_1497_p=\ If another connection uses the database in exclusive mode (enabled using <code>SET EXCLUSIVE 1</code> or <code>SET EXCLUSIVE 2</code>), then this connection will try to re-connect until the exclusive mode ends. features_1498_h2=Automatic Mixed Mode features_1499_p=\ Multiple processes can access the same database without having to start the server manually. To do that, append <code>;AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE</code> to the database URL. You can use the same database URL independent of whether the database is already open or not. This feature doesn't work with in-memory databases. features_1500_p=\ When using this mode, the first connection to the database is made in embedded mode, and additionally a server is started internally (as a daemon thread). If the database is already open in another process, the server mode is used automatically. features_1501_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. The first connection automatically starts a server on a random port. This server allows remote connections, however only to this database (to ensure that, the client reads <code>.lock.db</code> file and sends the the random key that is stored there to the server). When the first connection is closed, the server stops. If other (remote) connections are still open, one of them will then start a server (auto-reconnect is enabled automatically). features_1502_p=\ All processes need to have access to the database files. If the first connection is closed (the connection that started the server), open transactions of other connections will be rolled back (this may not be a problem if you don't disable autocommit). Explicit client/server connections (using <code>jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://</code> or <code>ssl\://</code>) are not supported. This mode is not supported for in-memory databases. features_1503_p=\ Here is an example how to use this mode. Application 1 and 2 are not necessarily started on the same computer, but they need to have access to the database files. Application 1 and 2 are typically two different processes (however they could run within the same process). features_1504_h2=Page Size features_1505_p=\ The page size for new databases is 2 KB (2048), unless the system property <code>h2.pageSize</code> is set to a different value, or the page size is set explicitly in the database URL using <code>PAGE_SIZE\=</code>. The page size of existing databases can not be changed. features_1506_h2=Using the Trace Options features_1507_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_1508_li=Trace to <code>System.out</code> and/or to a file features_1509_li=Support for trace levels <code>OFF, ERROR, INFO, DEBUG</code> features_1510_li=The maximum size of the trace file can be set features_1511_li=It is possible to generate Java source code from the trace file features_1512_li=Trace can be enabled at runtime by manually creating a file features_1513_h3=Trace Options features_1514_p=\ The simplest way to enable the trace option is setting it in the database URL. There are two settings, one for <code>System.out</code> (<code>TRACE_LEVEL_SYSTEM_OUT</code>) tracing, and one for file tracing (<code>TRACE_LEVEL_FILE</code>). The trace levels are 0 for <code>OFF</code>, 1 for <code>ERROR</code> (the default), 2 for <code>INFO</code>, and 3 for <code>DEBUG</code>. A database URL with both levels set to <code>DEBUG</code> is\: features_1515_p=\ The trace level can be changed at runtime by executing the SQL command <code>SET TRACE_LEVEL_SYSTEM_OUT level</code> (for <code>System.out</code> tracing) or <code>SET TRACE_LEVEL_FILE level</code> (for file tracing). Example\: features_1516_h3=Setting the Maximum Size of the Trace File features_1517_p=\ When using a high trace level, the trace file can get very big quickly. The default size limit is 16 MB, if the trace file exceeds this limit, it is renamed to <code>.old</code> and a new file is created. If another such file exists, it is deleted. To limit the size to a certain number of megabytes, use <code>SET TRACE_MAX_FILE_SIZE mb</code>. Example\: features_1518_h3=Java Code Generation features_1519_p=\ When setting the trace level to <code>INFO</code> or <code>DEBUG</code>, Java source code is generated as well. This simplifies reproducing problems. The trace file looks like this\: features_1520_p=\ To filter the Java source code, use the <code>ConvertTraceFile</code> tool as follows\: features_1521_p=\ The generated file <code>Test.java</code> will contain the Java source code. The generated source code may be too large to compile (the size of a Java method is limited). If this is the case, the source code needs to be split in multiple methods. The password is not listed in the trace file and therefore not included in the source code. features_1522_h2=Using Other Logging APIs features_1523_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 <code>System.out</code>. 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_1524_a=SLF4J features_1525_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), Java logging, x4juli, and Simple Log. features_1526_p=\ To enable SLF4J, set the file trace level to 4 in the database URL\: features_1527_p=\ Changing the log mechanism is not possible after the database is open, that means executing the SQL statement <code>SET TRACE_LEVEL_FILE 4</code> 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 the file <code><database>.trace.db</code> for error messages. features_1528_h2=Read Only Databases features_1529_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 <code>SELECT</code> and <code>CALL</code> statements are allowed. To create a read-only database, close the database. Then, make the database file read-only. When you open the database now, it is read-only. There are two ways an application can find out whether database is read-only\: by calling <code>Connection.isReadOnly()</code> or by executing the SQL statement <code>CALL READONLY()</code>. features_1530_p=\ Using the <a href\="\#custom_access_mode">Custom Access Mode</a> <code>r</code> the database can also be opened in read-only mode, even if the database file is not read only. features_1531_h2=Read Only Databases in Zip or Jar File features_1532_p=\ To create a read-only database in a zip file, first create a regular persistent database, and then create a backup. The database must not have pending changes, that means you need to close all connections to the database first. If you are using a database named <code>test</code>, an easy way to create a zip file is using the <code>Backup</code> tool. You can start the tool from the command line, or from within the H2 Console (Tools - Backup). Please note that the database must be closed when the backup is created. Therefore, the SQL statement <code>BACKUP TO</code> can not be used. features_1533_p=\ When the zip file is created, you can open the database in the zip file using the following database URL\: features_1534_p=\ Databases in zip files 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; therefore large databases are supported as well. The same indexes are used as when using a regular database. features_1535_h2=Graceful Handling of Low Disk Space Situations features_1536_p=\ If the database needs more disk space, it calls the database event listener if one is installed. The application may then delete temporary files, or display a message and wait until the user has resolved the problem. To install a listener, run the SQL statement <code>SET DATABASE_EVENT_LISTENER</code> or use a database URL of the form <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;DATABASE_EVENT_LISTENER\='com.acme.DbListener'</code> (the quotes around the class name are required). See also the <code>DatabaseEventListener</code> API. features_1537_h3=Opening a Corrupted Database features_1538_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_1539_h2=Computed Columns / Function Based Index features_1540_p=\ Function indexes are not directly supported by this database, but they can be emulated by using computed columns. For example, if an index on the upper-case version of a column is required, create a computed column with the upper-case version of the original column, and create an index for this column\: features_1541_p=\ When inserting data, it is not required (and 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_1542_h2=Multi-Dimensional Indexes features_1543_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_1544_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_1545_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 <code>TestMultiDimension.java</code>. features_1546_h2=User-Defined Functions and Stored Procedures features_1547_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. A function can be defined using source code, or as a reference to a compiled class that is available in the classpath. By default, the function aliases are stored in the current schema. features_1548_h3=Referencing a Compiled Method features_1549_p=\ When referencing a method, the class must already be compiled and included in the classpath where the database is running. Only static Java methods are supported; both the class and the method must be public. Example Java class\: features_1550_p=\ The Java function must be registered in the database by calling <code>CREATE ALIAS ... FOR</code>\: features_1551_p=\ For a complete sample application, see <code>src/test/org/h2/samples/Function.java</code>. features_1552_h3=Declaring Functions as Source Code features_1553_p=\ When defining a function alias with source code, the database tries to compile the source code using the Sun Java compiler (the class <code>com.sun.tools.javac.Main</code>) if the <code>tools.jar</code> is in the classpath. If not, <code>javac</code> is run as a separate process. Only the source code is stored in the database; the class is compiled each time the database is re-opened. Source code is usually passed as dollar quoted text to avoid escaping problems, however single quotes can be used as well. Example\: features_1554_p=\ The method name (<code>nextPrime</code> in the example above) is ignored. By default, the three packages <code>java.util, java.math, java.sql</code> are imported. If different import statements are required, they must be declared at the beginning and separated with the tag <code>@CODE</code>\: features_1555_p=\ The following template is used to create a complete Java class\: features_1556_h3=Function Data Type Mapping features_1557_p=\ Functions that accept non-nullable parameters such as <code>int</code> will not be called if one of those parameters is <code>NULL</code>. Instead, the result of the function is <code>NULL</code>. If the function should be called if a parameter is <code>NULL</code>, you need to use <code>java.lang.Integer</code> instead. features_1558_p=\ SQL types are mapped to Java classes and vice-versa as in the JDBC API. For details, see <a href\="datatypes.html">Data Types</a>. There are two special cases\: <code>java.lang.Object</code> is mapped to <code>OTHER</code> (a serialized object). Therefore, <code>java.lang.Object</code> can not be used to match all SQL types (matching all SQL types is not supported). The second special case is <code>Object[]</code>\: arrays of any class are mapped to <code>ARRAY</code>. features_1559_h3=Functions That Require a Connection features_1560_p=\ If the first parameter of a Java function is a <code>java.sql.Connection</code>, then the connection to database is provided. This connection does not need to be closed before returning. When calling the method from within the SQL statement, this connection parameter does not need to be (can not be) specified. features_1561_h3=Functions Throwing an Exception features_1562_p=\ If a function throws an exception, then the current statement is rolled back and the exception is thrown to the application. SQLException are directly re-thrown to the calling application; all other exceptions are first converted to a SQLException. features_1563_h3=Functions Returning a Result Set features_1564_p=\ Functions may returns a result set. Such a function can be called with the <code>CALL</code> statement\: features_1565_h3=Using SimpleResultSet features_1566_p=\ A function can create a result set using the <code>SimpleResultSet</code> tool\: features_1567_h3=Using a Function as a Table features_1568_p=\ A function that returns a result set can be used 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 <code>null</code> where not known at compile time). And then, while executing the statement to get the data (maybe multiple times 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 <code>jdbc\:columnlist\:connection</code>. Otherwise, the URL of the connection is <code>jdbc\:default\:connection</code>. features_1569_h2=Triggers features_1570_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 <code>src/test/org/h2/samples/TriggerSample.java</code>. A Java trigger must implement the interface <code>org.h2.api.Trigger</code>. The trigger class must be available in the classpath of the database engine (when using the server mode, it must be in the classpath of the server). features_1571_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_1572_p=\ The trigger can be used to veto a change by throwing a <code>SQLException</code>. features_1573_h2=Compacting a Database features_1574_p=\ Empty space in the database file re-used automatically. When closing the database, the database is automatically compacted for up to 200 milliseconds by default. To compact more, use the SQL statement SHUTDOWN COMPACT. However re-creating the database may further reduce the database size because this will re-build the indexes. Here is a sample function to do this\: features_1575_p=\ See also the sample application <code>org.h2.samples.Compact</code>. The commands <code>SCRIPT / RUNSCRIPT</code> can be used as well to create a backup of a database and re-build the database from the script. features_1576_h2=Cache Settings features_1577_p=\ The database keeps most frequently used data in the main memory. The amount of memory used for caching can be changed using the setting <code>CACHE_SIZE</code>. This setting can be set in the database connection URL (<code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;CACHE_SIZE\=131072</code>), or it can be changed at runtime using <code>SET CACHE_SIZE size</code>. The size of the cache, as represented by <code>CACHE_SIZE</code> is measured in KB, with each KB being 1024 bytes. This setting has no effect for in-memory databases. For persistent databases, the setting is stored in the database and re-used when the database is opened the next time. However, 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; however the setting stored in the database is kept. Setting the cache size in the database URL or explicitly using <code>SET CACHE_SIZE</code> overrides this value (even if larger than the physical memory). To get the current used maximum cache size, use the query <code>SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS WHERE NAME \= 'info.CACHE_MAX_SIZE'</code> features_1578_p=\ Also included is an experimental second level soft reference cache. Rows in this cache are only garbage collected on low memory. By default the second level cache is disabled. To enable it, use the prefix <code>SOFT_</code>. Example\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;CACHE_TYPE\=SOFT_LRU</code>. The cache might not actually improve performance. If you plan to use it, please run your own test cases first. features_1579_p=\ To get information about page reads and writes, and the current caching algorithm in use, call <code>SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SETTINGS</code>. The number of pages read / written is listed. fragments_1000_label=Search\: fragments_1001_label=Highlight keyword(s) fragments_1002_a=Home fragments_1003_a=Download fragments_1004_a=Cheat Sheet fragments_1005_b=Documentation fragments_1006_a=Quickstart fragments_1007_a=Installation fragments_1008_a=Tutorial fragments_1009_a=Features fragments_1010_a=Performance fragments_1011_a=Advanced fragments_1012_b=Reference fragments_1013_a=SQL Grammar fragments_1014_a=Functions fragments_1015_a=Data Types fragments_1016_a=Javadoc fragments_1017_a=PDF (1 MB) fragments_1018_b=Support fragments_1019_a=FAQ fragments_1020_a=Error Analyzer fragments_1021_a=Google Group (English) fragments_1022_a=Google Group (Japanese) fragments_1023_a=Google Group (Chinese) fragments_1024_b=Appendix fragments_1025_a=JaQu fragments_1026_a=Build fragments_1027_a=History & Roadmap fragments_1028_a=Links fragments_1029_a=License fragments_1030_td= frame_1000_h1=H2 Database Engine frame_1001_p=\ Welcome to H2, the free SQL database.

The main author of H2, Thomas Mueller, is also the original developer of Hypersonic SQL. In 2001, he joined PointBase Inc. where he wrote PointBase Micro, a commercial Java SQL database. At that point, he had to discontinue Hypersonic SQL. 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 code with Hypersonic SQL or HSQLDB. H2 is built from scratch. history_1012_h2=Why Java history_1013_p=\ The main reasons to use 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 think Java is too slow for low level operations, but this is no longer true. Garbage collection for example is now faster than manual memory management. history_1020_p=\ Developing Java code is faster than developing C or C++ code. When using Java, most time can be spent on improving the algorithms instead of porting the code to different platforms or doing memory management. Features such as Unicode and network libraries are already built-in. In Java, writing secure code is easier because buffer overflows can not occur. Features such as reflection can be used for randomized testing. history_1021_p=\ Java is future proof\: a lot of companies support Java. Java is now open source. history_1022_p=\ To increase the portability and ease of use, this software depends on very few libraries. Features that are not available in open source Java implementations (such as Swing) are not used, or only used for optional features. history_1023_h2=Supporters history_1024_p=\ Many thanks for those who reported bugs, gave valuable feedback, spread the word, and translated this project.

It is tested with Java 1.5 and 1.6 but can also be compiled to native code using GCJ. The source code does not use features of Java 1.6. Currently, the database is developed and tested on Windows XP and Mac OS X using the Sun JDK 1.6, but it also works in many other operating systems and using other Java runtime environments.

JaQu provides a fluent interface (or internal DSL). JaQu is something like LINQ for Java (LINQ stands for "language integrated query" and is a Microsoft .NET technology). The following JaQu code\: jaqu_1013_p=\ stands for the SQL statement\: jaqu_1014_h2=Differences to Other Data Access Tools jaqu_1015_p=\ Unlike SQL, JaQu can be easily integrated in Java applications. Because JaQu is pure Java, auto-complete in the IDE is supported. Type checking is performed by the compiler. JaQu fully protects against SQL injection. jaqu_1016_p=\ JaQu is meant as replacement for JDBC and SQL and not as much as a replacement for tools like Hibernate. With JaQu, you don't write SQL statements as strings. JaQu is much smaller and simpler than other persistence frameworks such as Hibernate, but it also does not provide all the features of those. Unlike iBatis and Hibernate, no XML or annotation based configuration is required; instead the configuration (if required at all) is done in pure Java, within the application. jaqu_1017_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 (but without having to write SQL statements as strings). jaqu_1018_h3=Restrictions jaqu_1019_p=\ Primitive types (eg. <code>boolean, int, long, double</code>) are not supported. Use <code>java.lang.Boolean, Integer, Long, Double</code> instead. jaqu_1020_h3=Why in Java? jaqu_1021_p=\ Most applications are written in Java. Mixing Java and another language (for example Scala or Groovy) in the same application is complicated\: you would need to split the application and database code, and write adapter / wrapper code. jaqu_1022_h2=Current State jaqu_1023_p=\ Currently, JaQu is only tested with the H2 database. The API may change in future versions. JaQu is not part of the h2 jar file, however the source code is included in H2, under\: jaqu_1024_code=src/test/org/h2/test/jaqu/* jaqu_1025_li=\ (samples and tests) jaqu_1026_code=src/tools/org/h2/jaqu/* jaqu_1027_li=\ (framework) jaqu_1028_h2=Building the JaQu Library jaqu_1029_p=\ To create the JaQu jar file, run\: <code>build jarJaqu</code>. This will create the file <code>bin/h2jaqu.jar</code>. jaqu_1030_h2=Requirements jaqu_1031_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_1032_h2=Example Code jaqu_1033_h2=Configuration jaqu_1034_p=\ JaQu does not require any configuration when using the default field to column 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 <code>define</code> in the data class. Example\: jaqu_1035_p=\ The method <code>define()</code> 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). Because the definition is written in Java, the configuration can be set at runtime, which is not possible using annotations. Unlike XML mapping configuration, the configuration is integrated in the class itself. jaqu_1036_h2=Natural Syntax jaqu_1037_p=The plan is to support more natural (pure Java) syntax in conditions. To do that, the condition class is de-compiled to a SQL condition. A proof of concept decompiler is included (but it doesn't fully work yet; patches are welcome). The planned syntax is\: jaqu_1038_h2=Other Ideas jaqu_1039_p=\ This project has just been started, and nothing is fixed yet. Some ideas are\: jaqu_1040_li=Support queries on collections (instead of using a database). jaqu_1041_li=Provide API level compatibility with JPA (so that JaQu can be used as an extension of JPA). jaqu_1042_li=Internally use a JPA implementation (for example Hibernate) instead of SQL directly. jaqu_1043_li=Use PreparedStatements and cache them. jaqu_1044_h2=Similar Projects jaqu_1045_a=Cement Framework jaqu_1046_a=Dreamsource ORM jaqu_1047_a=Empire-db jaqu_1048_a=JEQUEL\: Java Embedded QUEry Language jaqu_1049_a=Joist jaqu_1050_a=JoSQL jaqu_1051_a=LIQUidFORM jaqu_1052_a=Quaere (Alias implementation) jaqu_1053_a=Quaere jaqu_1054_a=Querydsl jaqu_1055_a=Squill license_1000_h1=License license_1001_a=\ Summary and License FAQ license_1002_a=\ H2 License - Version 1.0 license_1003_a=\ Eclipse Public License - Version 1.0 license_1004_h2=Summary and License FAQ license_1005_p=\ H2 is dual licensed and available under a modified version of the MPL 1.1 (<a href\="http\://www.mozilla.org/MPL">Mozilla Public License</a>) or under the (unmodified) EPL 1.0 (<a href\="http\://opensource.org/licenses/eclipse-1.0.php">Eclipse Public License</a>).

The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License. license_1111_h3=12. Responsibility for Claims license_1112_p=\ As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability. license_1113_h3=13. Multiple-Licensed Code license_1114_p=\ Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means that the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice of this or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in the file described in <a href\="\#exhibit-a">Exhibit A</a>. license_1115_h3=Exhibit A license_1116_h2=Eclipse Public License - Version 1.0 license_1117_p=\ THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. license_1118_h3=1. DEFINITIONS license_1119_p=\ "Contribution" means\: license_1120_p=\ a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and license_1121_p=\ b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor\: license_1122_p=\ i) changes to the Program, and license_1123_p=\ ii) additions to the Program; license_1124_p=\ where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which\: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program. license_1125_p=\ "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program. license_1126_p=\ "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program. license_1127_p=\ "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement. license_1128_p=\ "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors. license_1129_h3=2. GRANT OF RIGHTS license_1130_p=\ a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form. 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 the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. 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. links_1000_h1=H2 In Use and Links links_1001_p=\ Listed below are just a few links to products using or supporting H2.

performance_1240_td=6068 performance_1241_h3=Benchmark Results and Comments performance_1242_h4=H2 performance_1243_p=\ Version 1.2.137 (2010-06-06) was used for the test. For most operations, the performance of H2 is about the same as for HSQLDB. One situation where 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. performance_1244_h4=HSQLDB performance_1245_p=\ Version 2.0.0 was used for the test. Cached tables are used in this test (<code>hsqldb.default_table_type\=cached</code>), and the write delay is 1 second (<code>SET WRITE_DELAY 1</code>). performance_1246_h4=Derby performance_1247_p=\ Version 10.6.1.0 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 be hard 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. Derby calls <code>FileChannel.force(false)</code>, but only twice per log file (not on each commit). Disabling this call improves performance for Derby by about 2%. Unlike H2, Derby does not call <code>FileDescriptor.sync()</code> on each checkpoint. Derby supports a testing mode (system property <code>derby.system.durability\=test</code>) where durability is disabled. According to the documentation, this setting should be used for testing only, as the database may not recover after a crash. Enabling this setting improves performance by a factor of 2.6 (embedded mode) or 1.4 (server mode). Even if enabled, Derby is still less than half as fast as H2 in default mode. performance_1248_h4=PostgreSQL performance_1249_p=\ Version 8.4.4 was used for the test. The following options where changed in <code>postgresql.conf\: fsync \= off, commit_delay \= 1000</code>. PostgreSQL is run in server mode. The memory usage number is incorrect, because only the memory usage of the JDBC driver is measured. performance_1250_h4=MySQL performance_1251_p=\ Version 5.1.47-community was used for the test. MySQL was run with the InnoDB backend. The setting <code>innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit</code> (found in the <code>my.ini / my.cnf</code> file) was set to 0. Otherwise (and by default), MySQL is 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 <code>my.ini / my.cnf</code>, and then restart the service. The memory usage number is incorrect, because only the memory usage of the JDBC driver is measured. performance_1252_h4=Firebird performance_1253_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_1254_h4=Why Oracle / MS SQL Server / DB2 are Not Listed performance_1255_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_1256_h3=About this Benchmark performance_1257_h4=How to Run performance_1258_p=\ This test was as follows\: performance_1259_h4=Separate Process per Database performance_1260_p=\ For each database, a new process is started, to ensure the previous test does not impact the current test. performance_1261_h4=Number of Connections performance_1262_p=\ This is mostly a single-connection benchmark. BenchB uses multiple connections; the other tests use one connection. performance_1263_h4=Real-World Tests performance_1264_p=\ Good benchmarks emulate real-world use cases. This benchmark includes 4 test cases\: BenchSimple uses 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_1265_h4=Comparing Embedded with Server Databases performance_1266_p=\ This is mainly a benchmark for embedded databases (where the application runs in the same virtual machine as 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_1267_h4=Test Platform performance_1268_p=\ This test is run on Mac OS X 10.6. No virus scanner was used, and disk indexing was disabled. The VM used is Sun JDK 1.6. performance_1269_h4=Multiple Runs performance_1270_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_1271_h4=Memory Usage performance_1272_p=\ It is not enough to measure the time taken, the memory usage is important as well. Performance can be improved by using a bigger cache, but the amount of memory is limited. 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_1273_h4=Delayed Operations performance_1274_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_1275_h4=Transaction Commit / Durability performance_1276_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 <code>fsync()</code> to flush the buffers, but most hard drives don't actually flush all data. Calling the method 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_1277_h4=Using Prepared Statements performance_1278_p=\ Wherever possible, the test cases use prepared statements. performance_1279_h4=Currently Not Tested\: Startup Time performance_1280_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.

The HSQLDB version included in PolePosition does not support changing this, so you need to replace <code>poleposition-0.20/lib/hsqldb.jar</code> with a newer version (for example <code>hsqldb-1.8.0.7.jar</code>), and then use the setting <code>hsqldb.connecturl\=jdbc\:hsqldb\:file\:data/hsqldb/dbbench2;hsqldb.default_table_type\=cached;sql.enforce_size\=true</code> in the file <code>Jdbc.properties</code>. performance_1390_li=HSQLDB keeps the database open between tests, while H2 closes the database (losing all the cache). To change that, use the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:file\:data/h2/dbbench;DB_CLOSE_DELAY\=-1</code> performance_1391_li=The amount of cache memory is quite important, specially for the PolePosition test. Unfortunately, the PolePosition test does not take this into account. performance_1392_h2=Database Performance Tuning performance_1393_h3=Keep Connections Open or Use a Connection Pool performance_1394_p=\ If your application opens and closes connections a lot (for example, for each request), you should consider using a <a href\="tutorial.html\#connection_pool">connection pool</a>. Opening a connection using <code>DriverManager.getConnection</code> is specially slow if the database is closed. By default the database is closed if the last connection is closed. performance_1395_p=\ If you open and close connections a lot but don't want to use a connection pool, consider keeping a 'sentinel' connection open for as long as the application runs, or use delayed database closing. See also <a href\="features.html\#closing_a_database">Closing a database</a>. performance_1396_h3=Use a Modern JVM performance_1397_p=\ Newer JVMs are faster. Upgrading to the latest version of your JVM can provide a "free" boost to performance. Switching from the default Client JVM to the Server JVM using the <code>-server</code> command-line option improves performance at the cost of a slight increase in start-up time. performance_1398_h3=Virus Scanners performance_1399_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 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 to exclude files by suffix. Ensure files ending with <code>.db</code> are not scanned. performance_1400_h3=Using the Trace Options performance_1401_p=\ If the 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_1402_h3=Index Usage performance_1403_p=\ This database uses indexes to improve the performance of <code>SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE</code>. If a column is used in the <code>WHERE</code> 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 used to order result sets, but only if the condition uses the same index or no index at all. 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 <code>CREATE INDEX</code> statement. performance_1404_h3=How Data is Stored Internally performance_1405_p=\ For persistent databases, if a table is created with a single column primary key of type <code>BIGINT, INT, SMALLINT, TINYINT</code>, then the data of the table is organized in this way. This is sometimes also called a "clustered index" or "index organized table". performance_1406_p=\ H2 internally stores table data and indexes in the form of b-trees. Each b-tree stores entries as a list of unique keys (one or more columns) and data (zero or more columns). The table data is always organized in the form of a "data b-tree" with a single column key of type <code>long</code>. If a single column primary key of type <code>BIGINT, INT, SMALLINT, TINYINT</code> is specified when creating the table (or just after creating the table, but before inserting any rows), then this column is used as the key of the data b-tree. If no primary key has been specified, if the primary key column is of another data type, or if the primary key contains more than one column, then a hidden auto-increment column of type <code>BIGINT</code> is added to the table, which is used as the key for the data b-tree. All other columns of the table are stored within the data area of this data b-tree (except for large <code>BLOB, CLOB</code> columns, which are stored externally). performance_1407_p=\ For each additional index, one new "index b-tree" is created. The key of this b-tree consists of the indexed columns, plus the key of the data b-tree. If a primary key is created after the table has been created, or if the primary key contains multiple column, or if the primary key is not of the data types listed above, then the primary key is stored in a new index b-tree. performance_1408_h3=Optimizer performance_1409_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_1410_h3=Expression Optimization performance_1411_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 <code>WHERE</code> clause is always false, then the table is not accessed at all. performance_1412_h3=COUNT(*) Optimization performance_1413_p=\ If the query only counts all rows of a table, then the data is not accessed. However, this is only possible if no <code>WHERE</code> clause is used, that means it only works for queries of the form <code>SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table</code>. performance_1414_h3=Updating Optimizer Statistics / Column Selectivity performance_1415_p=\ When executing a query, at most one index per join can be used. If the same table is joined multiple times, for each join only one index is used (the same index could be used for both joins, or each join could use a different index). Example\: for the query <code>SELECT * FROM TEST T1, TEST T2 WHERE T1.NAME\='A' AND T2.ID\=T1.ID</code>, two index can be used, in this case the index on NAME for T1 and the index on ID for T2. performance_1416_p=\ If a table has multiple indexes, sometimes more than one index could be used. Example\: if there is a table <code>TEST(ID, NAME, FIRSTNAME)</code> and an index on each column, then two indexes could be used for the query <code>SELECT * FROM TEST WHERE NAME\='A' AND FIRSTNAME\='B'</code>, 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_1417_p=\ The SQL statement <code>ANALYZE</code> 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_1418_h3=In-Memory (Hash) Indexes performance_1419_p=\ Using in-memory indexes, specially in-memory hash indexes, can speed up queries and data manipulation. performance_1420_p=In-memory indexes are automatically used for in-memory databases, but can also be created for persistent databases using <code>CREATE MEMORY TABLE</code>. In many cases, the rows itself will also be kept in-memory. Please note this may cause memory problems for large tables. performance_1421_p=\ In-memory hash indexes are backed by a hash table and are usually faster than regular indexes. However, hash indexes only supports direct lookup (<code>WHERE ID \= ?</code>) but not range scan (<code>WHERE ID < ?</code>). To use hash indexes, use HASH as in\: <code>CREATE UNIQUE HASH INDEX</code> and <code>CREATE TABLE ...(ID INT PRIMARY KEY HASH,...)</code>. performance_1422_h3=Use Prepared Statements performance_1423_p=\ If possible, use prepared statements with parameters. performance_1424_h3=Prepared Statements and IN(...) performance_1425_p=\ Avoid generating SQL statements with a variable size IN(...) list. Instead, use a prepared statement with arrays as in the following example\: performance_1426_h3=Optimization Examples performance_1427_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. performance_1428_h3=Cache Size and Type performance_1429_p=\ By default the cache size of H2 is quite small. Consider using a larger cache size, or enable the second level soft reference cache. See also <a href\="features.html\#cache_settings">Cache Settings</a>. performance_1430_h3=Data Types performance_1431_p=\ Each data type has different storage and performance characteristics\: performance_1432_li=The <code>DECIMAL/NUMERIC</code> type is slower and requires more storage than the <code>REAL</code> and <code>DOUBLE</code> types. performance_1433_li=Text types are slower to read, write, and compare than numeric types and generally require more storage. performance_1434_li=See <a href\="advanced.html\#large_objects">Large Objects</a> for information on <code>BINARY</code> vs. <code>BLOB</code> and <code>VARCHAR</code> vs. <code>CLOB</code> performance. performance_1435_li=Parsing and formatting takes longer for the <code>TIME</code>, <code>DATE</code>, and <code>TIMESTAMP</code> types than the numeric types. performance_1436_code=SMALLINT/TINYINT/BOOLEAN performance_1437_li=\ are not significantly smaller or faster to work with than <code>INTEGER</code> in most modes. performance_1438_h3=Sorted Insert Optimization performance_1439_p=\ To reduce disk space usage and speed up table creation, an optimization for sorted inserts is available. When used, b-tree pages are split at the insertion point. To use this optimization, add <code>SORTED</code> before the <code>SELECT</code> statement\: performance_1440_h2=Using the Built-In Profiler performance_1441_p=\ A very simple Java profiler is built-in. To use it, use the following template\: performance_1442_h2=Application Profiling performance_1443_h3=Analyze First performance_1444_p=\ Before trying to optimize performance, it is important to understand where the problem is (what part of the application is slow). Blind optimization or optimization based on guesses should be avoided, because usually it is not an efficient strategy. There are various ways to analyze an application. Sometimes two implementations can be compared using <code>System.currentTimeMillis()</code>. But this does not work for complex applications with many modules, and for memory problems. performance_1445_p=\ A simple way to profile an application is to use the built-in profiling tool of java. Example\: performance_1446_p=\ Unfortunately, it is only possible to profile the application from start to end. Another solution is to create a number of full thread dumps. To do that, first run <code>jps -l</code> to get the process id, and then run <code>jstack <pid></code> or <code>kill -QUIT <pid></code> (Linux) or press Ctrl+C (Windows). performance_1447_p=\ A simple profiling tool is included in H2. To use it, the application needs to be changed slightly. Example\: performance_1448_p=\ The profiler is built into the H2 Console tool, to analyze databases that open slowly. To use it, run the H2 Console, and then click on 'Test Connection'. Afterwards, click on "Test successful" and you get the most common stack traces, which helps to find out why it took so long to connect. You will only get the stack traces if opening the database took more than a few seconds. performance_1449_h2=Database Profiling performance_1450_p=\ The <code>ConvertTraceFile</code> 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 <code>java -Xrunhprof</code>. For this to work, the trace level needs to be 2 or higher (<code>TRACE_LEVEL_FILE\=2</code>). The easiest way to set the trace level is to append the setting to the database URL, for example\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;TRACE_LEVEL_FILE\=2</code> or <code>jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost/~/test;TRACE_LEVEL_FILE\=2</code>. As an example, execute the the following script using the H2 Console\: performance_1451_p=\ After running the test case, convert the <code>.trace.db</code> file using the <code>ConvertTraceFile</code> tool. The trace file is located in the same directory as the database file. performance_1452_p=\ The generated file <code>test.sql</code> will contain the SQL statements as well as the following profiling data (results vary)\: performance_1453_h2=Statement Execution Plans performance_1454_p=\ The SQL statement <code>EXPLAIN</code> displays the indexes and optimizations the database uses for a statement. The following statements support <code>EXPLAIN</code>\: <code>SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, INSERT</code>. The following query shows that the database uses the primary key index to search for rows\: performance_1455_p=\ For joins, the tables in the execution plan are sorted in the order they are processed. The following query shows the database first processes the table <code>INVOICE</code> (using the primary key). For each row, it will additionally check that the value of the column <code>AMOUNT</code> is larger than zero, and for those rows the database will search in the table <code>CUSTOMER</code> (using the primary key). The query plan contains some redundancy so it is a valid statement. performance_1456_h3=Displaying the Scan Count performance_1457_code=EXPLAIN ANALYZE performance_1458_p=\ additionally shows the scanned rows per table and pages read from disk per table or index. This will actually execute the query, unlike <code>EXPLAIN</code> which only prepares it. The following query scanned 1000 rows, and to do that had to read 85 pages from the data area of the table. Running the query twice will not list the pages read from disk, because they are now in the cache. The <code>tableScan</code> means this query doesn't use an index. performance_1459_h3=Special Optimizations performance_1460_p=\ For certain queries, the database doesn't need to read all rows, or doesn't need to sort the result even if <code>ORDER BY</code> is used. performance_1461_p=\ For queries of the form <code>SELECT COUNT(*), MIN(ID), MAX(ID) FROM TEST</code>, the query plan includes the line <code>/* direct lookup */</code> if the data can be read from an index. performance_1462_p=\ For queries of the form <code>SELECT DISTINCT CUSTOMER_ID FROM INVOICE</code>, the query plan includes the line <code>/* distinct */</code> if there is an non-unique or multi-column index on this column, and if this column has a low selectivity. performance_1463_p=\ For queries of the form <code>SELECT * FROM TEST ORDER BY ID</code>, the query plan includes the line <code>/* index sorted */</code> to indicate there is no separate sorting required. performance_1464_p=\ For queries of the form <code>SELECT * FROM TEST GROUP BY ID ORDER BY ID</code>, the query plan includes the line <code>/* group sorted */</code> to indicate there is no separate sorting required. performance_1465_h2=Fast Database Import performance_1466_p=\ To speed up large imports, consider using the following options temporarily\: performance_1467_code=SET LOG 0 performance_1468_li=\ (disabling the transaction log) performance_1469_code=SET CACHE_SIZE performance_1470_li=\ (a large cache is faster) performance_1471_code=SET LOCK_MODE 0 performance_1472_li=\ (disable locking) performance_1473_code=SET UNDO_LOG 0 performance_1474_li=\ (disable the session undo log) performance_1475_p=\ These options can be set in the database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test;LOG\=0;CACHE_SIZE\=65536;LOCK_MODE\=0;UNDO_LOG\=0</code>. Most of those options are not recommended for regular use, that means you need to reset them after use. performance_1476_p=\ If you have to import a lot of rows, use a PreparedStatement or use CSV import. Please note that <code>CREATE TABLE(...) ... AS SELECT ...</code> is faster than <code>CREATE TABLE(...); INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...</code>. quickstart_1000_h1=Quickstart quickstart_1001_a=\ Embedding H2 in an Application quickstart_1002_a=\ The H2 Console Application quickstart_1003_h2=Embedding H2 in an Application quickstart_1004_p=\ This database can be used in embedded mode, or in server mode.

This can be a H2 database, or another database that supports the JDBC API. tutorial_1028_p=\ This is a client / server application, so both a server and a client (a browser) are required to run it. tutorial_1029_p=\ Depending on your platform and environment, there are multiple ways to start the application\: tutorial_1030_th=OS tutorial_1031_th=Start tutorial_1032_td=Windows tutorial_1033_td=\ Click [Start], [All Programs], [H2], and [H2 Console (Command Line)] tutorial_1034_td=\ When using the Sun JDK 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_1035_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 at <code>http\://localhost\:8082</code>. tutorial_1036_td=Windows tutorial_1037_td=\ Open a file browser, navigate to <code>h2/bin</code>, and double click on <code>h2.bat</code>. tutorial_1038_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\: <code>http\://localhost\:8082</code>). tutorial_1039_td=Any tutorial_1040_td=\ Double click on the <code>h2*.jar</code> file. This only works if the <code>.jar</code> suffix is associated with java. tutorial_1041_td=Any tutorial_1042_td=\ Open a console window, navigate to the directory <code>h2/bin</code> and type\: tutorial_1043_h3=Firewall tutorial_1044_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_1045_p=\ It has been reported that when using Kaspersky 7.0 with firewall, the H2 Console is very slow when connecting over the IP address. A workaround is to connect using localhost, however this only works on the local machine. tutorial_1046_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_1047_h3=Testing Java tutorial_1048_p=\ To find out which version of Java is installed, open a command prompt and type\: tutorial_1049_p=\ If you get an error message, you may need to add the Java binary directory to the path environment variable. tutorial_1050_h3=Error Message 'Port may be in use' tutorial_1051_p=\ You can only start one instance of the H2 Console, otherwise you will get the following error message\: "The Web server could not be started. Possible cause\: another server is already running...". 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_1052_h3=Using another Port tutorial_1053_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 <code>.h2.server.properties</code>. This file is stored in the user directory (for Windows, this is usually in <code>Documents and Settings/<username></code>). The relevant entry is webPort. tutorial_1054_h3=Connecting to the Server using a Browser tutorial_1055_p=\ If the server started successfully, you can connect to it using a web browser. JavaScript needs to be enabled. If you started the server on the same computer as the browser, open the URL <code>http\://localhost\:8082</code>. If you want to connect to the application from another computer, you need to provide the IP address of the server, for example\: <code>http\://192.168.0.2\:8082</code>. If you enabled SSL on the server side, the URL needs to start with <code>https\://</code>. tutorial_1056_h3=Multiple Concurrent Sessions tutorial_1057_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_1058_h3=Login tutorial_1059_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_1060_p=\ You can save and reuse previously saved settings. The settings are stored in a properties file (see <a href\="\#console_settings">Settings of the H2 Console</a>). tutorial_1061_h3=Error Messages tutorial_1062_p=\ Error messages in are shown in red. You can show/hide the stack trace of the exception by clicking on the message. tutorial_1063_h3=Adding Database Drivers tutorial_1064_p=\ Additional database drivers to connect to other databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, HSQLDB,...) can be registered by adding the Jar file location of the driver to the environment variables <code>H2DRIVERS</code> or <code>CLASSPATH</code>. Example (Windows)\: to add the database driver library <code>C\:\\Programs\\hsqldb\\lib\\hsqldb.jar</code>, set the environment variable <code>H2DRIVERS</code> to <code>C\:\\Programs\\hsqldb\\lib\\hsqldb.jar</code>. tutorial_1065_p=\ Multiple drivers can be set; each entry needs to be separated with a <code>;</code> (Windows) or <code>\:</code> (other operating systems). Spaces in the path names are supported. The settings must not be quoted. tutorial_1066_h3=Using the H2 Console tutorial_1067_p=\ The H2 Console 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_1068_h3=Inserting Table Names or Column Names tutorial_1069_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, then <code>SELECT * FROM ...</code> is added as well. While typing a query, the table that was used is automatically expanded in the tree. For example if you type <code>SELECT * FROM TEST T WHERE T.</code> then the table TEST is automatically expanded in the tree. tutorial_1070_h3=Disconnecting and Stopping the Application tutorial_1071_p=\ To log out of the database, click 'Disconnect' in the toolbar panel. However, the server is still running and ready to accept new sessions. tutorial_1072_p=\ To stop the server, right click on the system tray icon and select [Exit]. If you don't have the system tray icon, navigate to [Preferences] and click [Shutdown], press [Ctrl]+[C] in the console where the server was started (Windows), or close the console window. tutorial_1073_h2=Special H2 Console Syntax tutorial_1074_p=\ The H2 Console supports a few built-in commands. Those are interpreted within the H2 Console, that means they work with any database. They need to be at the beginning of a statement (before any remarks), otherwise they are not parsed correctly. If in doubt, add ';' before the command. tutorial_1075_th=Command(s) tutorial_1076_th=Description tutorial_1077_td=\ @autocommit_true; tutorial_1078_td=\ @autocommit_false; tutorial_1079_td=\ Enable or disable autocommit. tutorial_1080_td=\ @cancel; tutorial_1081_td=\ Cancel the currently running statement. tutorial_1082_td=\ @columns null null TEST; tutorial_1083_td=\ @index_info null null TEST; tutorial_1084_td=\ @tables; tutorial_1085_td=\ @tables null null TEST; tutorial_1086_td=\ Call the corresponding DatabaseMetaData.get method. Patterns are case sensitive (usually identifiers are uppercase). For information about the parameters, see the Javadoc documentation. Missing parameters at the end are set to null. The complete list of commands is\: <code> @attributes @best_row_identifier @catalogs @columns @column_privileges @cross_references @exported_keys @imported_keys @index_info @primary_keys @procedures @procedure_columns @schemas @super_tables @super_types @tables @table_privileges @table_types @type_info @udts @version_columns </code> tutorial_1087_td=\ @edit select * from test; tutorial_1088_td=\ Use an updatable result set. tutorial_1089_td=\ @generated insert into test() values(); tutorial_1090_td=\ Show the result of <code>Statement.getGeneratedKeys()</code>. tutorial_1091_td=\ @history; tutorial_1092_td=\ Show the command history. tutorial_1093_td=\ @info; tutorial_1094_td=\ Display the result of various <code>Connection</code> and <code>DatabaseMetaData</code> methods. tutorial_1095_td=\ @list select * from test; tutorial_1096_td=\ Show the result set in list format (each column on its own line, with row numbers). tutorial_1097_td=\ @loop 1000 select ?, ?/*rnd*/; tutorial_1098_td=\ @loop 1000 @statement select ?; tutorial_1099_td=\ Run the statement this many times. Parameters (<code>?</code>) are set using a loop from 0 up to x - 1. Random values are used for each <code>?/*rnd*/</code>. A Statement object is used instead of a PreparedStatement if <code>@statement</code> is used. Result sets are read until <code>ResultSet.next()</code> returns <code>false</code>. Timing information is printed. tutorial_1100_td=\ @maxrows 20; tutorial_1101_td=\ Set the maximum number of rows to display. tutorial_1102_td=\ @memory; tutorial_1103_td=\ Show the used and free memory.

Used to profile a long running query or operation that is running in another session (but in the same process). tutorial_1116_td=\ @transaction_isolation; tutorial_1117_td=\ @transaction_isolation 2; tutorial_1118_td=\ Display (without parameters) or change (with parameters 1, 2, 4, 8) the transaction isolation level. tutorial_1119_h2=Settings of the H2 Console tutorial_1120_p=\ The settings of the H2 Console are stored in a configuration file called <code>.h2.server.properties</code> in you user home directory. For Windows installations, the user home directory is usually <code>C\:\\Documents and Settings\\[username]</code>. The configuration file contains the settings of the application and is automatically created when the H2 Console is first started. tutorial_1121_h2=Connecting to a Database using JDBC tutorial_1122_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_1123_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>. 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 (<code>sa</code> for System Administrator in this example). The third parameter is the password. In this database, user names are not case sensitive, but passwords are. tutorial_1124_h2=Creating New Databases tutorial_1125_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_1126_p=\ Auto-creating new database can be disabled, see <a href\="features.html\#database_only_if_exists">Opening a Database Only if it Already Exists</a>. tutorial_1127_h2=Using the Server tutorial_1128_p=\ H2 currently supports three server\: a web server (for the H2 Console), a TCP server (for client/server connections) and an PG server (for PostgreSQL clients). Please note that only the web server supports browser connections. The servers can be started in different ways, one is using the <code>Server</code> tool. tutorial_1129_h3=Starting the Server Tool from Command Line tutorial_1130_p=\ To start the <code>Server</code> tool from the command line with the default settings, run\: tutorial_1131_p=\ This will start the tool with the default options. To get the list of options and default values, run\: tutorial_1132_p=\ There are options available to use other ports, and start or not start parts. tutorial_1133_h3=Connecting to the TCP Server tutorial_1134_p=\ To remotely connect to a database using the TCP server, use the following driver and database URL\: tutorial_1135_li=JDBC driver class\: <code>org.h2.Driver</code> tutorial_1136_li=Database URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:tcp\://localhost/~/test</code> tutorial_1137_p=\ For details about the database URL, see also in Features. Please note that you can't connection with a web browser to this URL. You can only connect using a H2 client (over JDBC). tutorial_1138_h3=Starting the TCP Server within an Application tutorial_1139_p=\ Servers can also be started and stopped from within an application. Sample code\: tutorial_1140_h3=Stopping a TCP Server from Another Process tutorial_1141_p=\ The TCP server can be stopped from another process. To stop the server from the command line, run\: tutorial_1142_p=\ To stop the server from a user application, use the following code\: tutorial_1143_p=\ This function will only stop the TCP server. If other server were started in the same process, they will continue to run. To avoid recovery when the databases are opened the next time, all connections to the databases should be closed before calling this method. To stop a remote server, remote connections must be enabled on the server. Shutting down a TCP server can be protected using the option <code>-tcpPassword</code> (the same password must be used to start and stop the TCP server). tutorial_1144_h2=Using Hibernate tutorial_1145_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 some old versions of Hibernate was buggy. A <a href\="http\://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3401">patch for Hibernate</a> has been submitted and is now applied. You can rename it to <code>H2Dialect.java</code> and include this as a patch in your application, or upgrade to a version of Hibernate where this is fixed. tutorial_1146_p=\ When using compatibility modes such as <code>MODE\=MySQL</code> when using Hibernate is not supported when using <code>H2Dialect</code>. tutorial_1147_h2=Using TopLink and Glassfish tutorial_1148_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_1149_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_1150_p=\ In old versions of Glassfish, the property name is <code>toplink.platform.class.name</code>. tutorial_1151_p=\ To use H2 within Glassfish, copy the h2*.jar to the directory <code>glassfish/glassfish/lib</code>. tutorial_1152_h2=Using EclipseLink tutorial_1153_p=\ To use H2 in EclipseLink, use the platform class <code>org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.H2Platform</code>. If this platform is not available in your version of EclipseLink, you can use the OraclePlatform instead in many case. See also <a href\="http\://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Development/Incubator/Extensions/H2Platform">H2Platform</a>. tutorial_1154_h2=Using Apache ActiveMQ tutorial_1155_p=\ When using H2 as the backend database for Apache ActiveMQ, please use the <code>TransactDatabaseLocker</code> instead of the default locking mechanism. Otherwise the database file will grow without bounds. The problem is that the default locking mechanism uses an uncommitted <code>UPDATE</code> transaction, which keeps the transaction log from shrinking (causes the database file to grow). Instead of using an <code>UPDATE</code> statement, the <code>TransactDatabaseLocker</code> uses <code>SELECT ... FOR UPDATE</code> which is not problematic. To use it, change the ApacheMQ configuration element <code><jdbcPersistenceAdapter></code> element, property <code>databaseLocker\="org.apache.activemq.store.jdbc.adapter.TransactDatabaseLocker"</code>. However, using the MVCC mode will again result in the same problem. Therefore, please do not use the MVCC mode in this case. Another (more dangerous) solution is to set <code>useDatabaseLock</code> to false. tutorial_1156_h2=Using H2 within NetBeans tutorial_1157_p=\ The project <a href\="http\://kenai.com/projects/nbh2">H2 Database Engine Support For NetBeans</a> allows you to start and stop the H2 server from within the IDE. tutorial_1158_h2=Using Databases in Web Applications tutorial_1159_p=\ There are multiple ways to access a database from within web applications. Here are some examples if you use Tomcat or JBoss. tutorial_1160_h3=Embedded Mode tutorial_1161_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 <code>shared/lib</code> or <code>server/lib</code> 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_1162_h3=Server Mode tutorial_1163_p=\ The server mode is similar, but it allows you to run the server in another process. tutorial_1164_h3=Using a Servlet Listener to Start and Stop a Database tutorial_1165_p=\ Add the h2*.jar file to your web application, and add the following snippet to your web.xml file (between the <code>context-param</code> and the <code>filter</code> section)\: tutorial_1166_p=\ For details on how to access the database, see the file <code>DbStarter.java</code>. By default this tool opens an embedded connection using the database URL <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code>, user name <code>sa</code>, and password <code>sa</code>. If you want to use this connection within your servlet, you can access as follows\: tutorial_1167_code=DbStarter tutorial_1168_p=\ can also start the TCP server, however this is disabled by default. To enable it, use the parameter <code>db.tcpServer</code> in the file <code>web.xml</code>. Here is the complete list of options. These options need to be placed between the <code>description</code> tag and the <code>listener</code> / <code>filter</code> tags\: tutorial_1169_p=\ When the web application is stopped, the database connection will be closed automatically. If the TCP server is started within the <code>DbStarter</code>, it will also be stopped automatically. tutorial_1170_h3=Using the H2 Console Servlet tutorial_1171_p=\ The H2 Console is a standalone application and includes its own web server, but it can be used as a servlet as well. To do that, include the the <code>h2*.jar</code> file in your application, and add the following configuration to your <code>web.xml</code>\: tutorial_1172_p=\ For details, see also <code>src/tools/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>. tutorial_1173_p=\ To create a web application with just the H2 Console, run the following command\: tutorial_1174_h2=Android tutorial_1175_p=\ You can use this database on an Android device (using the Dalvik VM) instead of or in addition to SQLite. So far, only very few tests and benchmarks were run, but it seems that performance is very similar to SQLite, except for opening and closing a database, which is not yet optimized in H2 (H2 takes about 0.2 seconds, and SQLite about 0.02 seconds). So far, only very few tests have been run, and everything seems to work as expected. Fulltext search was not yet tested, however the native fulltext search should work. tutorial_1176_p=\ Reasons to use H2 instead of SQLite are\: tutorial_1177_li=Full Unicode support including UPPER() and LOWER() (unlike SQLite). tutorial_1178_li=Streaming API for BLOB and CLOB data. tutorial_1179_li=Fulltext search. tutorial_1180_li=Multiple connections. tutorial_1181_li=User defined functions and triggers. tutorial_1182_li=Database file encryption. tutorial_1183_li=Reading and writing CSV files (this feature can be used out side the database as well). tutorial_1184_li=Referential integrity and check constraints. tutorial_1185_li=Better data type and SQL support. tutorial_1186_li=In-memory databases, read-only databases, linked tables. tutorial_1187_li=Better compatibility with other databases which simplifies porting applications. tutorial_1188_li=Possibly better performance. tutorial_1189_p=\ Currently only the JDBC API is supported (it is planned to support the Android database API in future releases). Both the regular H2 jar file and the smaller <code>h2small-*.jar</code> can be used. To create the smaller jar file, run the command <code>./build.sh jarSmall</code> (Linux / Mac OS) or <code>build.bat jarSmall</code> (Windows). tutorial_1190_p=\ The database files needs to be stored in a place that is accessible for the application. Example\: tutorial_1191_h2=CSV (Comma Separated Values) Support tutorial_1192_p=\ The CSV file support can be used inside the database using the functions <code>CSVREAD</code> and <code>CSVWRITE</code>, or it can be used outside the database as a standalone tool. tutorial_1193_h3=Reading a CSV File from Within a Database tutorial_1194_p=\ A CSV file can be read using the function <code>CSVREAD</code>. Example\: tutorial_1195_h3=Importing Data from a CSV File tutorial_1196_p=\ A fast way to load or import data (sometimes called 'bulk load') from a CSV file is to combine table creation with import. Optionally, the column names and data types can be set when creating the table. Another option is to use <code>INSERT INTO ... SELECT</code>. tutorial_1197_h3=Writing a CSV File from Within a Database tutorial_1198_p=\ The built-in function <code>CSVWRITE</code> can be used to create a CSV file from a query. Example\: tutorial_1199_h3=Writing a CSV File from a Java Application tutorial_1200_p=\ The <code>Csv</code> tool can be used in a Java application even when not using a database at all. Example\: tutorial_1201_h3=Reading a CSV File from a Java Application tutorial_1202_p=\ It is possible to read a CSV file without opening a database. Example\: tutorial_1203_h2=Upgrade, Backup, and Restore tutorial_1204_h3=Database Upgrade tutorial_1205_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_1206_h3=Backup using the Script Tool tutorial_1207_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 <code>Script</code> tool\: tutorial_1208_p=\ It is also possible to use the SQL command <code>SCRIPT</code> to create the backup of the database. For more information about the options, see the SQL command <code>SCRIPT</code>. 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_1209_h3=Restore from a Script tutorial_1210_p=\ To restore a database from a SQL script file, you can use the <code>RunScript</code> tool\: tutorial_1211_p=\ For more information about the options, see the SQL command <code>RUNSCRIPT</code>. 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 <code>RUNSCRIPT</code> to execute a SQL script. SQL script files may contain references to other script files, in the form of <code>RUNSCRIPT</code> commands. However, when using the server mode, the references script files need to be available on the server side. tutorial_1212_h3=Online Backup tutorial_1213_p=\ The <code>BACKUP</code> SQL statement and the <code>Backup</code> tool both create a zip file with all database files. However, the contents of this file are not human readable. tutorial_1214_p=\ The resulting backup is transactionally consistent, meaning the consistency and atomicity rules apply. tutorial_1215_p=\ The <code>Backup</code> tool (<code>org.h2.tools.Backup</code>) can not be used to create a online backup; the database must not be in use while running this program. tutorial_1216_p=\ Creating a backup by copying the database files while the database is running is not supported, except if the file systems support creating snapshots. The problem is that it can't be guaranteed that the data is copied in the right order. tutorial_1217_h2=Command Line Tools tutorial_1218_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_1219_p=\ The command line tools are\: tutorial_1220_code=Backup tutorial_1221_li=\ creates a backup of a database. tutorial_1222_code=ChangeFileEncryption tutorial_1223_li=\ allows changing the file encryption password or algorithm of a database. tutorial_1224_code=Console tutorial_1225_li=\ starts the browser based H2 Console. tutorial_1226_code=ConvertTraceFile tutorial_1227_li=\ converts a .trace.db file to a Java application and SQL script. tutorial_1228_code=CreateCluster tutorial_1229_li=\ creates a cluster from a standalone database. tutorial_1230_code=DeleteDbFiles tutorial_1231_li=\ deletes all files belonging to a database. tutorial_1232_code=Recover tutorial_1233_li=\ helps recovering a corrupted database. tutorial_1234_code=Restore tutorial_1235_li=\ restores a backup of a database. tutorial_1236_code=RunScript tutorial_1237_li=\ runs a SQL script against a database. tutorial_1238_code=Script tutorial_1239_li=\ allows converting a database to a SQL script for backup or migration. tutorial_1240_code=Server tutorial_1241_li=\ is used in the server mode to start a H2 server. tutorial_1242_code=Shell tutorial_1243_li=\ is a command line database tool. tutorial_1244_p=\ The tools can also be called from an application by calling the main or another public method. For details, see the Javadoc documentation. tutorial_1245_h2=The Shell Tool tutorial_1246_p=\ The Shell tool is a simple interactive command line tool. To start it, type\: tutorial_1247_p=\ You will be asked for a database URL, JDBC driver, user name, and password. The connection setting can also be set as command line parameters. After connecting, you will get the list of options. The built-in commands don't need to end with a semicolon, but SQL statements are only executed if the line ends with a semicolon <code>;</code>. This allows to enter multi-line statements\: tutorial_1248_p=\ By default, results are printed as a table. For results with many column, consider using the list mode\: tutorial_1249_h2=Using OpenOffice Base tutorial_1250_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_1251_li=Start OpenOffice Writer, go to [Tools], [Options] tutorial_1252_li=Make sure you have selected a Java runtime environment in OpenOffice.org / Java tutorial_1253_li=Click [Class Path...], [Add Archive...] tutorial_1254_li=Select your h2 jar file (location is up to you, could be wherever you choose) tutorial_1255_li=Click [OK] (as much as needed), stop OpenOffice (including the Quickstarter) tutorial_1256_li=Start OpenOffice Base tutorial_1257_li=Connect to an existing database; select [JDBC]; [Next] tutorial_1258_li=Example datasource URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code> tutorial_1259_li=JDBC driver class\: <code>org.h2.Driver</code> tutorial_1260_p=\ Now you can access the database stored in the current users home directory. tutorial_1261_p=\ To use H2 in NeoOffice (OpenOffice without X11)\: tutorial_1262_li=In NeoOffice, go to [NeoOffice], [Preferences] tutorial_1263_li=Look for the page under [NeoOffice], [Java] tutorial_1264_li=Click [Class Path], [Add Archive...] tutorial_1265_li=Select your h2 jar file (location is up to you, could be wherever you choose) tutorial_1266_li=Click [OK] (as much as needed), restart NeoOffice. tutorial_1267_p=\ Now, when creating a new database using the "Database Wizard" \: tutorial_1268_li=Click [File], [New], [Database]. tutorial_1269_li=Select [Connect to existing database] and the select [JDBC]. Click next. tutorial_1270_li=Example datasource URL\: <code>jdbc\:h2\:~/test</code> tutorial_1271_li=JDBC driver class\: <code>org.h2.Driver</code> tutorial_1272_p=\ Another solution to use H2 in NeoOffice is\: tutorial_1273_li=Package the h2 jar within an extension package tutorial_1274_li=Install it as a Java extension in NeoOffice tutorial_1275_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_1276_h2=Java Web Start / JNLP tutorial_1277_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\: <code>java.security.AccessControlException</code>\: access denied (<code>java.io.FilePermission ... read</code>). Example permission tags\: tutorial_1278_h2=Using a Connection Pool tutorial_1279_p=\ For H2, opening a connection is fast if the database is already open. Still, using a connection pool improves performance if you open and close connections a lot. 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, open source connection pools available, for example the <a href\="http\://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/">Apache Commons DBCP</a>. For H2, it is about twice as faster to get a connection from the built-in connection pool than to get one using <code>DriverManager.getConnection()</code>.The build-in connection pool is used as follows\: tutorial_1280_h2=Fulltext Search tutorial_1281_p=\ H2 includes two fulltext search implementations. One is using Apache Lucene, and the other (the native implementation) stores the index data in special tables in the database. tutorial_1282_h3=Using the Native Fulltext Search tutorial_1283_p=\ To initialize, call\: tutorial_1284_p=\ You need to initialize it in each database where you want to use it. Afterwards, you can create a fulltext index for a table using\: tutorial_1285_p=\ PUBLIC is the schema name, 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 realtime. To search the index, use the following query\: tutorial_1286_p=\ This will produce a result set that contains the query needed to retrieve the data\: tutorial_1287_p=\ To get the raw data, use <code>FT_SEARCH_DATA('Hello', 0, 0);</code>. The result contains the columns <code>SCHEMA</code> (the schema name), <code>TABLE</code> (the table name), <code>COLUMNS</code> (an array of column names), and <code>KEYS</code> (an array of objects). To join a table, use a join as in\: <code>SELECT T.* FROM FT_SEARCH_DATA('Hello', 0, 0) FT, TEST T WHERE FT.TABLE\='TEST' AND T.ID\=FT.KEYS[0];</code> tutorial_1288_p=\ You can also call the index from within a Java application\: tutorial_1289_h3=Using the Lucene Fulltext Search tutorial_1290_p=\ To use the Lucene full text search, you need the Lucene library in the classpath. Currently Apache Lucene version 2.x is used by default for H2 version 1.2.x, and Lucene version 3.x is used by default for H2 version 1.3.x. How to do that depends on the application; if you use the H2 Console, you can add the Lucene jar file to the environment variables <code>H2DRIVERS</code> or <code>CLASSPATH</code>. To initialize the Lucene fulltext search in a database, call\: tutorial_1291_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_1292_p=\ PUBLIC is the schema name, 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 realtime. To search the index, use the following query\: tutorial_1293_p=\ This will produce a result set that contains the query needed to retrieve the data\: tutorial_1294_p=\ To get the raw data, use <code>FTL_SEARCH_DATA('Hello', 0, 0);</code>. The result contains the columns <code>SCHEMA</code> (the schema name), <code>TABLE</code> (the table name), <code>COLUMNS</code> (an array of column names), and <code>KEYS</code> (an array of objects). To join a table, use a join as in\: <code>SELECT T.* FROM FTL_SEARCH_DATA('Hello', 0, 0) FT, TEST T WHERE FT.TABLE\='TEST' AND T.ID\=FT.KEYS[0];</code> tutorial_1295_p=\ You can also call the index from within a Java application\: tutorial_1296_h2=User-Defined Variables tutorial_1297_p=\ This database supports user-defined variables. Variables start with <code>@</code> and can be used wherever expressions or parameters are allowed. Variables are not persisted and session scoped, that means only visible from within the session in which they are defined. A value is usually assigned using the SET command\: tutorial_1298_p=\ The value can also be changed using the SET() method. This is useful in queries\: tutorial_1299_p=\ Variables that are not set evaluate to <code>NULL</code>. 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_1300_h2=Date and Time tutorial_1301_p=\ Date, time and timestamp values support ISO 8601 formatting, including time zone\: tutorial_1302_p=\ If the time zone is not set, the value is parsed using the current time zone setting of the system. Date and time information is stored in H2 database files without time zone information. If the database is opened using another system time zone, the date and time will be the same. That means if you store the value '2000-01-01 12\:00\:00' in one time zone, then close the database and open the database again in a different time zone, you will also get '2000-01-01 12\:00\:00'. Please note that changing the time zone after the H2 driver is loaded is not supported. tutorial_1303_h2=Using Spring tutorial_1304_p=\ Use the following configuration to start and stop the H2 TCP server using the Spring Framework\: tutorial_1305_p=\ The <code>destroy-method</code> will help prevent exceptions on hot-redeployment or when restarting the server. tutorial_1306_h2=Java Management Extension (JMX) tutorial_1307_p=\ Management over JMX is supported, but not enabled by default. To enable JMX, append <code>;JMX\=TRUE</code> to the database URL when opening the database. Various tools support JMX, one such tool is the <code>jconsole</code>. When opening the <code>jconsole</code>, connect to the process where the database is open (when using the server mode, you need to connect to the server process). Then go to the <code>MBeans</code> section. Under <code>org.h2</code> you will find one entry per database. The object name of the entry is the database short name, plus the path (each colon is replaced with an underscore character). tutorial_1308_p=\ The following attributes and operations are supported\: tutorial_1309_code=CacheSize tutorial_1310_li=\: the cache size currently in use in KB. tutorial_1311_code=CacheSizeMax tutorial_1312_li=\ (read/write)\: the maximum cache size in KB. tutorial_1313_code=Exclusive tutorial_1314_li=\: whether this database is open in exclusive mode or not. tutorial_1315_code=FileReadCount tutorial_1316_li=\: the number of file read operations since the database was opened. tutorial_1317_code=FileSize tutorial_1318_li=\: the file size in KB. tutorial_1319_code=FileWriteCount tutorial_1320_li=\: the number of file write operations since the database was opened. tutorial_1321_code=FileWriteCountTotal tutorial_1322_li=\: the number of file write operations since the database was created. tutorial_1323_code=LogMode tutorial_1324_li=\ (read/write)\: the current transaction log mode. See <code>SET LOG</code> for details. tutorial_1325_code=Mode tutorial_1326_li=\: the compatibility mode (<code>REGULAR</code> if no compatibility mode is used). tutorial_1327_code=MultiThreaded tutorial_1328_li=\: true if multi-threaded is enabled. tutorial_1329_code=Mvcc tutorial_1330_li=\: true if <code>MVCC</code> is enabled. tutorial_1331_code=ReadOnly tutorial_1332_li=\: true if the database is read-only. tutorial_1333_code=TraceLevel tutorial_1334_li=\ (read/write)\: the file trace level. tutorial_1335_code=Version tutorial_1336_li=\: the database version in use. tutorial_1337_code=listSettings tutorial_1338_li=\: list the database settings. tutorial_1339_code=listSessions tutorial_1340_li=\: list the open sessions, including currently executing statement (if any) and locked tables (if any).
