I have coded my application without specifying lengths for BLOB/CLOB. I would normally expect this to work: INSERT INTO tblob select * from tblob; OR INSERT INTO tblob select * from myblobTab; My concern was on soft-update, it would be possible to insert larger than 1MB and later on downgrade, same operations like above will not work as some instances of BLOB could now be larger than 1MB. (and hence above operations could fail on 10.1) I do not see how this would be a problem on downgrade. If the operations worked in soft-upgrade, downgrade will not redefine the size of the blob-columns of existing tables. This issue is about changing the default max size of columns when doing CREATE TABLE .., so unless the scenario contains a create table somewhere, it should not be an issue. May be this is extreme case and may not be worth protecting... but one could look at 10.1 BLOB (without size) datatype to be between 1-1MB and is being changed to 1-2GB. An extreme case is that the user applications recreates some of its tables, and not other tables during soft-upgrade. This means that some of the tables may allow 1MB blob columns and other tables 2GB blob columns. This should then only be a problem if the application suddenly starts using blobs with size 1MB, and do similar queries as you gave. These will now fail. If the applications had been running only on 10.1 it would have failed once it started inserting blobs with size 1M into the tables. I do not think this extreme case is a soft-upgrade problem, as the same problem could be constructed in a hard-upgrade scenario. Therefore, I do not think it is worth adding any logic in soft-upgrade mode. Increase default BLOB/CLOB length to maximum supported (2G?)

Changing the default can change the behaviour of exisitng applications thus needs to be considered carefully.

The numeric value of large object length is the numeric value resulting from the multiplication of D and MS, then MS is: i) If multiplier is K, then 1,024. ii) If multiplier is M, then 1,048,576. iii) If multiplier is G, then 1,073,741,824.

My understanding is that after an upgrade (from a version without this improvement), an application which continues to use the schemas/tables as they were initially created, will not be affected by the change. An application which recreates the schemas/tables after an upgrade, may be affected if it depends on Derby rejecting Blobs with sizes bigger than 1M.
