Kim Haase updated DERBY-5232:
-----------------------------
Attachment: DERBY-5232-kim.diff
Happy to help with this. I agree completely with Kathey's suggestion about the
file names -- the separate words are indeed preferable to the contraction.
I am attaching a suggested patch for messages.xml, DERBY-5232-kim.diff, with
some wording fixes. (I hope it merges all right with Mamta's latest.) I do have
a couple of questions --
For consistency, I used the term NON-RECOVERABLE, since that's what we use in
our SQLSTate error messages. However, the Oracle terminology guide for my
organization says to use NONRECOVERABLE (no hyphen), while the official Oracle
style guide says to use IRRECOVERABLE or NOT RECOVERABLE. What does the IBM
style guide say? Or should we just worry about consistency with the error
messages?
I notice a comment saying, "Translators: Please translate the ALL CAPS words."
However, there's a mixed case sentence at the top of each saying, "Do not touch
files in this directory!" I assume we want this to be translated too -- is it
understood that they always translate mixed-case text but not all-caps text?
Sorry to be ignorant about our localization practices.

> 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.
