I agree that the requirement to have "upgrade=true" be on the first
connection to a db be added to the documentation. Perhaps also include
this trick about shutting down the db first to be able to upgrade the
db in a single jvm instance that's already been connected to the db.
I filed three Jira Issues as the result of this thread.
DERBY-4253 - documentation should indicate that a database cannot be
upgraded if already booted in soft upgrade mode
DERBY-4254 - If upgrade is not performed when connecting with the
upgrade=true attribute specified, Derby should produce a warning
DERBY-4255 - DatabaseMetaData getDatabaseMajorVersion() and
getDatabaseMinorVersion() return software version rather than database
version
I was going to suggest you use the DatabaseMetaData methods instead of
the undocumented property, but found they didn't work. #:(
Thank you Evan for the useful input.
