Hi,
thanks for preparing the release notes, Rick! Some notes
- title: Derby -> Apache Derby. Same in first line in overview.
- new features, bullet one: "privileges" and "permissions" are both
used in the same sentence. Choose one form, I suggest privileges.
Bullet five: "remote clients" -> Applications using the Derby network
client driver
- unicode -> Unicode
- ascii -> ASCII
- bug fixes: should we include Test category bugs at all? I am not sure
that is interesting to end users.
- issues:
DERBY-4786: It is a big confusing that we speak of Derby 10.4 and
higher, when one would expect to see 10.7. I guess this is because we
have backported it... Note required?
DERBY-4777: The wording implies that user could rely on particular SQL
states from Derby. In general, I believed we make no such guarantees. If
that is still the case, a caveat is in order, I think.
E.g. ".... in Client mode, 'ERROR 42X30' should be expected."
DERBY-4577: "Summary of change" is logically backwards: It states that
the changes is that "An update statement will fail with..." The real
change is "On a new database, an UPDATE statement will no longer ever
give "nospc.U". On an old database, after calling SYSCS_COMPRESS_TABLE
on it, an UPDATE statement will no longer ever give "nospc.U"... The
problem applies for section "Symptoms seen..".
insures -> ensures
Thanks,
Dag
