we are in a very similar situation. Banking software, financial
accounting, not really the place where you want to experiment a lot.
Our large customers all run Oracle (which deserves its own place in

We use H2 in production heavily and would love to upgrade but as long as
there is no actual version released we can only use 2.0.x for testing
purposes. If only we could get some ball park estimate about when 2.0.201
will be released with some highlights of improvements we can expect and
