Old issue tracking

Please send a question to the H2 Google Group or StackOverflow first,
and only then, once you are completely sure it is an issue, submit it here.
The reason is that only very few people actively monitor the issue tracker.

Before submitting a bug, please also check the FAQ:
https://h2database.com/html/faq.html

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(simple SQL scripts or simple standalone applications are preferred)
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system, file
system, and virtual machine?


Do you know a workaround?

What is your use case, meaning why do you need this feature?

How important/urgent is the problem for you?

Please provide any additional information below.

Benchmark:

Hi,

If you are running benchmarks, could you profile them please? To do that use java -Xrunhprof:cpu=samples,depth=8 ... - and then upload/post the file java.hprof.txt

If the benchmark application is not a self contained application, another way is to generate 'full thread dumps' (maybe 30 or so) while running the benchmark, and upload them? To get a full thread dump, you can use "kill -QUIT <pid>", or (Windows) press Ctrl+Pause, or (Java 1.6) use jps -l to get the <pid>, and then use jstack <pid>.

Regards,
Thomas

Can not reproduce:

Hi,

Sorry I can not reproduce this problem. Could you post a simple, standalone test case that reproduces the problem? It would be great if the test case does not have any dependencies except the H2 jar file (that is, a simple SQL script that can be run in the H2 Console, or a Java class uses the JDBC API and is run using a static main method). If the test case does have dependencies it would help a lot if you upload them somewhere (for example Rapidshare.com). Please include any initialization code (CREATE TABLE, INSERT and so on) in the Java class or in a .sql script file.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi,

This looks like a corrupt database. To recover the data, use the tool org.h2.tools.Recover to create the SQL script file, and then re-create the database using this script. Does it work when you do this?

With version 1.3.171 and older: when using local temporary tables and not dropping them manually before closing the session, and then killing the process could result in a database that couldn't be opened.

With version 1.3.162 and older: on out of disk space, the database can get corrupt sometimes, if later write operations succeed. The same problem happens on other kinds of I/O exceptions (where one or some of the writes fail, but subsequent writes succeed). Now the file is closed on the first unsuccessful write operation, so that later requests fail consistently.

Important corruption problems were fixed in version 1.2.135 and version 1.2.140 (see the change log). Known causes for corrupt databases are: if the database was created or used with a version older than 1.2.135, and the process was killed while the database was closing or writing a checkpoint. Using the transaction isolation level READ_UNCOMMITTED (LOCK_MODE 0) while at the same time using multiple connections. Disabling database file protection using (setting FILE_LOCK to NO in the database URL). Some other areas that are not fully tested are: Platforms other than Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS X, or JVMs other than Sun 1.5 or 1.6; the feature MULTI_THREADED; the features AUTO_SERVER and AUTO_RECONNECT; the file locking method 'Serialized'.

I am very interested in analyzing and solving this problem. Corruption problems have top priority for me. I have a few questions:

- What is your database URL?
- Did you use LOG=0 or LOG=1? Did you read the FAQ about it?
- Did the system ever run out of disk space?
- Could you send the full stack trace of the exception including message text?
- Did you use SHUTDOWN DEFRAG or the database setting DEFRAG_ALWAYS with H2 version 1.3.159 or older?
- How many connections does your application use concurrently?
- Do you use temporary tables?
- With which version of H2 was this database created?
    You can find it out using:
    select * from information_schema.settings where name='CREATE_BUILD'
    or have a look in the SQL script created by the recover tool.
- Did the application run out of memory (once, or multiple times)?
- Do you use any settings or special features (for example cache settings,
    two phase commit, linked tables)?
- Do you use any H2-specific system properties?
- Is the application multi-threaded?
- What operating system, file system, and virtual machine
    (java -version) do you use?
- How did you start the Java process (java -Xmx... and so on)?
- Is it (or was it at some point) a networked file system?
- How big is the database (file sizes)?
- How much heap memory does the Java process have?
- Is the database usually closed normally, or is process terminated
    forcefully or the computer switched off?
- Is it possible to reproduce this problem using a fresh database
    (sometimes, or always)?
- Are there any other exceptions (maybe in the .trace.db file)?
    Could you send them please?
- Do you still have any .trace.db files, and if yes could you send them?
- Could you send the .h2.db file where this exception occurs?

Regards,
Thomas

Corrupted database

I am sorry to say that, but it looks like a corruption problem. I am very interested in analyzing and solving this problem. Corruption problems have top priority for me. I have a few questions:

- Could you send the full stack trace of the exception including message text?
- What is your database URL?
- Do you use Tomcat or another web server?
    Do you unload or reload the web application?
- You can find out if the database is corrupted when running
    SCRIPT TO 'test.sql'
- What version H2 are you using?
- Did you use multiple connections?
- The first workarounds is: append ;RECOVER=1 to the database URL.
    Does it work when you do this?
- The second workarounds is: delete the index.db file (it is re-created
    automatically) and try again. Does it work when you do this?
- The third workarounds is: use the tool org.h2.tools.Recover to create
    the SQL script file, and then re-create the database using this script.
    Does it work when you do this?

- Do you still have any .trace.db files, and if yes could you send them?
- Could you send the .data.db file where this exception occurs?
