Hi,

Can you please elaborate on this? "Because using version 1.3.176 could have
> changed the database file already"
>

You use the PageStore storage mechanism. Let's assume there was a bug
introduced in H2 version 1.3.176, in the PageStore mechanism. I wouldn't
know what that bug could be because there were basically no changes in the
PageStore mechanism since a long time, except for a few smaller bugfixes.
But let's assume there was a bug that wasn't there before. Now if you have
already opened an old database with version 1.3.176, then that might have
corrupted the database in some way that is not visible (let's say, a
corruption in an index). Now you want to downgrade to a previous version of
H2. To do that, I suggest to export the database to a SQL file and
re-create it. That will ensure that all possible corruptions are gone.

For the same reason it makes sense to upgrade to a new version of H2, and
create backups, in the form of SQL scripts, if this is possible, and not in
the form of a file copy.

> What could be changed by v176 that could cause incompatibilities with
v169?

It's not about incompatibilities.

Regards,
Thomas
