Doing none of that. The posted code is the only running application and method accessing that database.
I don't think that the database is being shutdown, even abnormally by something internal as there is nothing in the derby.log to indicate such and no indication of the database then being booted. Note that these messages are coming out while the application is running, not at the end. The application continues to run even after these message come out. Another strange observation is that the application does not report any errors itself yet it does not create the required number of entries either. The application is trying to initialize 500,000 rows in the database, yet after it finishes and these errors reported, it has somewhere around 499,7xx entries. The only way that I can see that happen with the application not reporting any error yet not creating the number of required entries is for the sequence to return the same sequence numbers when the error is happening. If this were happening, then the application would already see a row and not try to create one again (the logic below in the application checks to see if there is an entry already present). Note that the application is batching up inserts and committing these 10 at a time. It is using the JPA transaction manager to perform the transactions but that should not matter because in this standalone case, that should in turn be using the native database transactions. I will turn on statement logging to make sure and see if I can get this into a smaller reproducible case.

The header comment on that method says that the condition can arise if someone else is doing DDL while you are allocating sequence numbers, or if someone else is scanning SYS.SYSSEQUENCES, or if the database shuts down while sequence numbers are still being grabbed. Is your application doing any of this at steady-state? Thanks, -Rick On 9/19/17 3:04 PM, Bergquist, Brett wrote: I have a simple application that is running with no other access to the database. A sequence is defined CREATE SEQUENCE LOG_ENTRY_SEQUENCE AS BIGINT START WITH 1 MINVALUE 1 CYCLE The application is retrieving the next sequence number with a "VALUES (NEXT VALUE FOR LOG_ENTRY_SEQUENCE)" statement and then that sequence number is being used as an ID for the rows to be inserted int another database table. 500,000 rows are going to be inserted.

As a result, unexpected gaps may appear in this sequence. Here is the code used. Note that it is using JPA, however the LogEnty entity being inserted is not using the sequence. All LogEntry ID assignment is done manually using the result of the sequence number retrieved (the slot assignment). private static void initializeLoggerEntryTable(SetupContext ctx, long entryCount) { EntityManager em = ctx.getEntityManager(); Query nextSeqQuery = em.createNativeQuery("VALUES (NEXT VALUE FOR LOG_ENTRY_SEQUENCE)"); int j = 0; // Create a transaction ctx.getEntityManager().getTransaction().begin(); for (int i = 0; i < entryCount; i++) { long nextSeq = ((Long) nextSeqQuery.getSingleResult()).longValue(); long slot = nextSeq % entryCount; // See if there is a LogEntry at this slot LogEntry logEntry = em.find(LogEntry.class, slot); if (null == logEntry) { // There is not, so create one logEntry = new LogEntry(); logEntry.setSlot(slot); // Persist the chassis template em.persist(logEntry); } // Commit the transaction if (++j >= 10) { em.getTransaction().commit(); em.clear(); em.getTransaction().begin(); j = 0; } } ctx.getEntityManager().getTransaction().commit(); } The sequence is not used outside of this code and there is no other access to the database. I don't understand why some internal lock could not be obtained.
