Thanks, Kathey. This is helpful. Even more useful would be tools which

Yes, that would be good.  I seem to remember a Jira for such a tool, but 
can't find it.
 I tend to just unzip the database for each iterative run, but if it is 
big that is a  pain.

One setting I forgot to mention is
derby.storage.logDumpStart=

If you are interested in dumping starting a particular record.

With corrupt databases I sometimes use with a sane build:

derby.debug.true=DumpLogOnly,LogTrace

which will print the log records to derby.log.  With DumpLogOnly it 
will continue past problematic ones but of course won't boot.
