You can open a bug report if you wish. The space for temporary lobs is reclaimed at each checkpoint and is reused for future lobs. It is not possible to reduce the size of the lobs file. There is a procedure in HyperXtremeSQL for this, but not in HSQLDB. Fred On Tue, Jul 18, 2017, at 16:05, Al

Hallo hsqldb developers, we use a hsqldb in our application an experience a strange behavior. We have some clob columns in different tables and when we execute an select with an upper on the clob column in a where clause the lobs file increases in size. Is it a very practice to make an upper on
