Hi,

A company where I have an application deployed recently changed from Norton to McAfee virus scanner, and since then they have been getting a strange error with H2. Disabling the anti-virus (well kind of) seemed to fix the error.

I don't have the exact exception sorry, but the database trace log had something like jdbcexception. Error converting String "some string" in Select * from mytable where thing = ?. It was a simple query that is called hundreds of times (for the past year!) and then intermittently started failing. Everything else seemed to be fine, just this query was having intermittent issues.

I was just wondering if anyone else has come across anything like this?. I did notice that McAfee was locking files in the folder that is must have been scanning (I'm assuming it was McAfee anyway, because the application wasn't running and nothing else had the files open. I couldn't delete the files because the OS was claiming they were in use, but after a minute they were not longer in use. The virus scanner was using 100% CPU at the time). So I am wondering if it was locking the file or doing something strange that H2 didn't like.

I reinstalled the Application, rebuilt the database, tested on another system (which it was fine), etc. So the only thing I could end up putting it down to was the virus scanner. I ended up changing file permissions on the application folder to not allow the local system account and as far as I know it has been fine since then.

I just wanted to post to see of any other weird experiences out there?

Cheers,

Ryan
