---------------------------------------
Hi Mamta,
I have not had a chance to look closely and won't until I get 10.8.3 out. I
have some cosmetic comments but can file a new issue once I get them together.
I can just file a new issue if preferrable. The most significant is:
I would like to change
README_DONT_TOUCH_FILES.txt to
README_DO_NOT_TOUCH_FILES.txt
The contraction without an appostrophy is bothersome and since I am guessing
the file name is not localized, having separate words will be more clear to
non-English readers.
I think it would be good for Kim to review the text. I will sign up to buddy
test this feature for 10.10. Thank you so much for putting this warning to
users in Derby!

> Users often on bad advice or desperation touch or delete files in the log or
> seg0 directories (mostly log).
> I think it would be good for new databases and on upgrade that a file be
> created in these directories with a name like:
> TOUCHING_FILES_HERE_WILL_CORRUPT_DB_README.txt
> or some such to warn of the perils of doing this and the corrupting effects
> and how it can eliminate any possibility of salvage. It should also encourage
> users to make a zip backup of the database directory with no jvm currently
> accessing it before trying to do anything with the database if it appears to
> be already corrupt. Also point to backup/restore documentation and encourage
> restore of a good backup into an empty directory if the database is corrupt.
> I'm not sure if it would help but it couldn't hurt.
