The Apache Derby project is pleased to announce feature release 10.8.1.2.
Apache Derby is a subproject of the Apache DB project. Derby is a pure
Java relational database engine which conforms to the ISO/ANSI SQL and
JDBC standards. Derby aims to be easy for developers and end-users to
work with.
Derby 10.8.1.2 can be obtained from the Derby download site:
http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.
Derby 10.8.1.2 contains the following new features:
* JDBC 4.1 - Derby's JDBC drivers support the new Java 7 methods on
the java.sql and javax.sql interfaces.
* Automatic calculation of index statistics - Derby automatically
refreshes statistics to help it pick better query plans.
* Improved interrupt handling - Interrupting connection threads no
longer crashes the Derby engine.
* MAX optimization - On indexed tables, MAX queries run faster in
more cases.
* XML operator portability - The xmlparse and xmlserialize
operators work out-of-the-box on more platforms.
In addition, Derby 10.8.1.2 contains many bug and documentation fixes.
Please try out this new release.
