Could someone explain the mechanism(s) for getting a corrupt database copy? I'm using transactions, so isn't there protection against this sort of problem anyway? How long does it take to commit a transaction?
Yes, Derby uses transactions to protect the database integrity, and committing an individual transaction is quite speedy. You can ensure that your database copy is valid by following the techniques described here: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.4/adminguide/cadminhubbkup98797.html thanks, bryan
