The way I look at it, derby has a very nice default. We call it soft upgrade, but in my mind it really is "no upgrade". We guarantee that if you do nothing to your existing app, then you can run it and the database against your current version of the derby software and all future versions of the derby software. I think this is a reasonable "automatic" default.
I do not agree that it is "no upgrade". The Derby code is upgraded, and any Derby "customer" needs to validate this new version the same way as they regularly when replacing software components, regardless of whether the upgrade is hard or soft.
