Dag H. Wanvik reassigned DERBY-1252: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Dag H. Wanvik > Old clients with new server return wrong database metadata values for some > methods > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1252 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1252 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: JDBC, Network Client, Network Server > Affects Versions: 10.1.1.0, 10.1.2.0, 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, 10.1.2.1, > 10.1.3.0, 10.1.2.2, 10.1.2.3, 10.1.2.4 > Reporter: Dag H. Wanvik > Assigned To: Dag H. Wanvik > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 10.2.0.0 > > > With an old client (10.1.1, 10.1.2) accessing a new (10.2) server, > some metadata calls will return the wrong value for both the JCC and > the Derby clients: > deletesAreDetected(TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE) -> true > updatedAreDetected(TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE) -> true > ownDeletesAreVisible(TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE) -> true > ownUpdatesAreVisible(TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE) -> true > This happens because these values were changed for the 10.2 with > the addition of updatable scrollable insensitive result sets (DERBY-775), > combined with a weakness in the way the client and the server > cooperates to answer these metadata calls. > Presently, when the client application invokes these methods, the > results will be returned by the server without regard to the identity > of the client, i.e. the 2-tuple {JCC or Derby client, client version}. > The values to be returned for the methods in question are based solely > on the values found in the file metadata_net.properties, which is part > of the server. > In general, some database metadata is dependent on the combination of > the capabilities in the client and the server and the returned values > should reflect this, which in general implies negotiating (down) to > values which are correct for the actual combination of client and > server. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
