These merit your special attention.</p> <ul> <li> <a href="#Note for DERBY-5564"><span>Note for DERBY-5564: The SQL state of the error returned from a lock timeout when the property "derby.locks.deadlockTrace=true" is set will return 40XL1 rather than 40XL2. </span></a> </li> <li> <a href="#Note for DERBY-4631"><span>Note for DERBY-4631: Derby can pick incorrect join column value for a RIGHT OUTER JOIN with NATURAL/USING clause. </span></a> </li> </ul> <hr> <h3> <a name="Note for DERBY-5564"></a>Note for DERBY-5564</h3> <div> <!-- --> <h4>Summary of Change</h4> <p> The SQL state of the error returned from a lock timeout when the property "derby.locks.deadlockTrace=true" is set will return 40XL1 rather than 40XL2. </p> <!-- --> <h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4> <p> In the previous release, applications which set "derby.locks.deadlockTrace=true" would get error 40XL2 when a lock timeout was received. This was confusing as simply setting the system to return extra diagnostic information would change the SQL state of the error returned by the system for a lock timeout. </p> <!-- --> <h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4> <p> Applications which explicitly tested for SQL state error 40XL2 as a lock timeout will no longer get that error. 40XL1 will now always be returned for a lock timeout error whether lock diagnostics are enabled or not. </p> <!-- DESCRIBE WHY THE CHANGE WAS MADE. For instance: --> <h4>Rationale for Change</h4> <p> The previous behavior was not intended. Lock timeout should generate same SQL state whether diagnostics are enabled or not. Only the text of the error will change based on the requested diagnostic level. </p> <!-- OPTIONAL: DESCRIBE HOW TO REVERT TO THE PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR OR OTHERWISE AVOID THE INCOMPATIBILITIES INTRODUCED BY THIS CHANGE. For instance: Users must recode applications which open multiple streams on the same column. --> <h4>Application Changes Required</h4> <p> If the application has been explicitly coded to take action when getting error 40XL2 and does not do the same action for 40XL1, then the application should be changed. This action is usually retry logic based on a lock timeout or deadlock. </p> </div> <hr> <h3> <a name="Note for DERBY-4631"></a>Note for DERBY-4631</h3> <div> <!-- SUMMARIZE THE ISSUE. This is a one line summary of the issue. For instance: Applications may no longer open two InputStreams on the same ResultSet column. --> <h4>Summary of Change</h4> <p> Derby can pick incorrect join column value for a RIGHT OUTER JOIN with NATURAL/USING clause. </p> <!-- DESCRIBE WHAT IT IS THAT THE USER ACTUALLY SEES WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. For instance: In the previous release, applications were able to open two InputStreams on the same column. Depending on how these streams interacted, the value siphoned out of the column was erratic. Now Derby raises a SQLException when the application attempts to create the second InputStream. --> <h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4> <p> In case of RIGHT OUTER JOIN with NATURAL/USING clause, Derby always picked the join column's value from the right table. This could lead to incorrect join column value depending on the data in the tables. The correct value should be determined by doing equivalent of COALESCE(leftTableValue, rightTableValue). This correct behavior has been implemented as a fix for DERBY-4631. </p> <!-- OPTIONAL: DESCRIBE INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH PREVIOUS RELEASE, IF ANY. For instance: Applications which open two InputStreams on the ResultSet column now fail. --> <h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4> <p> The data returned for join column value for a RIGHT OUTER JOIN with NATURAL/USING clause can now be different(and correct). </p> </div> </div> <h2> <a name="Build Environment"></a>Build Environment</h2> <div> <p>Derby release 10.8.3.0 was built using the following environment:</p> <ul> <li> <b>Branch</b> - Source code came from the 10.8 branch.</li> <li> <b>Machine</b> - Cygwin on Windows 7 Service Pack 1 </li> <li> <b>Ant</b> - Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on December 13 2006.</li> <li> <b>JDK 1.4</b> - Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM Windows 32 build cn142ifx-20110211 (SR13 FP8+PM31983) (JIT enabled: jitc)) </li> <li> <b>Java 6</b> - java version "1.6.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pwi3260sr9fp1-20110208_03(SR9 FP1)) IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Windows 7 x86-32 jvmwi3260sr9-20110203_74623 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled) J9VM - 20110203_074623 JIT - r9_20101028_17488ifx3 GC - 20101027_AA) JCL - 20110203_01 </li> <li> <b>Compiler</b> - The IBM javac 1.6.0 javac was used to compile all classes.</li> <li> <b>JSR 169</b> - Java ME support was built using libraries from IBM's j9 jvm from WEME 6.2.</li> </ul> </div> <h2> <a name="Verifying Releases"></a>Verifying Releases</h2> <div> <p>It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP and MD5 signatures. MD5 verification ensures the file was not corrupted during the download process. PGP verification ensures that the file came from a certain person.</p> <p>The PGP signatures can be verified using <a href="http://www.pgpi.org/">PGP</a> or <a href="http://www.gnupg.org/">GPG</a>. First download the Apache Derby <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/KEYS">KEYS</a> as well as the <code>asc</code> signature file for the particular distribution. It is important that you get these files from the ultimate trusted source - the main ASF distribution site, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using ...</p> <pre> % pgpk -a KEYS % pgpv db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc <em>or</em> % pgp -ka KEYS % pgp db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc <em>or</em> % gpg --import KEYS % gpg --verify db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc </pre> <p>To verify the MD5 signature on the files, you need to use a program called <code>md5</code> or <code>md5sum</code>, which is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html">GNU Textutils</a>. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from <a href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/">here</a>, <a href="http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/">here</a>, or <a href="http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/">here</a>.</p> <p>We strongly recommend that you verify your downloads with both PGP and MD5.</p> </div> </body> </html>
