You're welcome!
Perhaps the DatabaseMetaData should have methods for both the driver
version and the actual db version on disk?

I agree that the requirement to have "upgrade=true" be on the first

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.
