I understand your concerns. I addressed the upgrade issue several
times in the discussion of this issue, but felt the community
preferred the semantics which are currently implemented, landing on
the side of a sensible secure-by-default behavior. Options:

Was there any discussion outside of comments in DERBY-2264? I looked in the archives but couldn't see any between 2007/02/13 and 2007/02/20. I picked that date range because on 02/20 you said in DERBY-2264

 "Right, it seems both Dan and Rick are less concerned than me about the
compatibility here issue, so I rest my case. "

That was the first comment since 02/13, however, I don't see how my single comment in DERBY-2264 could lead you to that conclusion, I thought it's was just factual about authentication states. I'm sure there must have been a discussion elsewhere, but I can't find it at the moment.

I don't see any other discussion beyond what appears in DERBY-2264. I like Dag's original proposal that we should restrict DBO powers only if both authentication and authorization are enabled. I don't like the idea of adding another security knob for this.


Maybe the thread "Q: Should Derby 10.3 be Derby 11?" raised by Bernt is what people are thinking of......
