----------------------------------------

Another error. I was trying to get a stack trace with line numbers for the 
getMetaData error, but this popped up instead.

> Due to a design flaw in the statement cache, a deadlock can occur if a 
> prepared statement becomes out-of-date.
> I will illustrate this with the following example:
> The application is using the embedded Derby driver. The application has two 
> threads, and each thread uses its own connection.
> There is a table named MYTABLE with column MYCOLUMN.
> 1. A thread prepares and executes the query SELECT MYCOLUMN FROM MYTABLE. The 
> prepared statement is stored in the statement cache (see 
> org.apache.derby.impl.sql.GenericStatement for this logic)
> 2. After some time, the prepared statement becomes invalid or out-of-date for 
> some reason (see org.apache.derby.impl.sql.GenericPreparedStatement)
> 3. Thread 1 begins a transaction and executes LOCK TABLE MYTABLE IN EXCLUSIVE 
> MODE
> 4. Thread 2 begins a transaction and executes SELECT MYCOLUMN FROM MYTABLE. 
> The statement is in the statement cache but it is out-of-date. The thread 
> begins to recompile the statement. To compile the statement, the thread needs 
> a shared lock on MYTABLE. Thread 1 already has an exclusive lock on MYTABLE. 
> Thread 2 waits.
> 5. Thread 1 executes SELECT MYCOLUMN FROM MYTABLE. The statement is in the 
> statement cache but it is being compiled. Thread 1 waits on the statement's 
> monitor.
> 6. We have a deadlock. Derby eventually detects a lock timeout, but the error 
> message is not descriptive. The stacks at the time of the deadlock are:
> This deadlock is unique because it can still occur in a properly designed 
> database. You are only safe if all of your transactions are very simple and 
> cannot be interleaved in a sequence that causes the deadlock, or if your 
> particular statements do not require a table lock to compile. (For the sake 
> of simplicity, I used LOCK TABLE in my example, but any UPDATE statement 
> would fit.)
