Knut Magne Solem commented on DERBY-646:
----------------------------------------

Good to see something is happening in this field! Out of curiosity I tried this 
out on Windows XP, but it failed in embedded mode when creating an in-memory 
database. 

The error was this assert:
ERROR XJ001: Java exception: 'ASSERT FAILED serviceName = memory:C:\Documents 
and Settings\user\workspace\derby\MyDbTest;storageFactory.getCanonicalName() = 
C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\derby\MyDbTest: 
org.apache.derby.shared.common.sanity.AssertFailure'.

To make it work I altered line 310 in VFMemoryStorageFactory.normalizePath() to 
allow windows-style paths. I changed it to this: "} else if (dir.charAt(0) != 
getSeparator() && !dir.toUpperCase().matches("[a-zA-Z]{1}:{1}\\\\{1}.*")){"

Appart from that i worked great.

To reduce memory footprint I guess you can reduce the cache to a minimum and 
maybe discard flushed log records instead of writing them to memory?
