Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-5959:
-------------------------------------------
Java 8 fixes a bug in Thai locale
(http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6755060), and that causes a
similar issue on upgrade with territory-based collation.
Example, create database in Java 7:
connect 'jdbc:derby:thaidb;territory=th;collation=TERRITORY_BASED;create=true';
create table t(x int, c char(1) unique not null);
insert into t values (1, '๎'), (2, '์');
(The character in row 1 is \u0e4e, and the one in row 2 is \u0e4c.)
Update the database in Java 8, which has different ordering:
connect 'jdbc:derby:thaidb';
insert into t values (3, '๎');
(The character is \u0e4e.)
The table contents now are:
ij> select * from t;
X |C
-------------
1 |๎
2 |์
3 |๎
3 rows selected
The value of C is identical in row 1 and row 3, even though there is a UNIQUE
constraint on the column.

> Key: DERBY-5959
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5959
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 10.10.0.0
> Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
>
> When accessing a database with territory-based collation, Derby will use the
> collation rules of the collator returned by
> Collator.getInstance(databaseLocale). However, there is no guarantee that
> those rules are consistent across different JVM vendors and versions. This
> means that the ordering could vary, and inconsistencies could sneak into the
> indexes.
> One example is that Oracle's JDK changed the collation rules for Turkish
> between Java 5 and Java 6, so if you run the following script
> connect
> 'jdbc:derby:memory:db;territory=tr_TR;collation=TERRITORY_BASED;create=true';
> create table t(c char(2));
> insert into t values 'ıa', 'Ia', 'ia', 'İa', 'ıb', 'Ib', 'ib', 'İb';
> select * from t order by c;
> you'll get different results on Java 5 and on Java 6 and later.
> Java 5 will order the results like this:
> ij> select * from t order by c;
> C
> ----
> ıa
> Ia
> ia
> İa
> ıb
> Ib
> ib
> İb
> 8 rows selected
> Java 6 and later order them like this like this:
> ij> select * from t order by c;
> C
> ----
> ıa
> Ia
> ıb
> Ib
> ia
> İa
> ib
> İb
> 8 rows selected
