<h2>
<a name="New Features"></a>New Features</h2>
<div>


<p>
This is a feature release. The following new features were added:
</p>


<ul>


<li>
<b>MERGE statement</b> - MERGE is a single, join-driven statement which INSERTs, UPDATEs, and DELETEs rows. See the section on this statement in the Derby Reference Manual. See also features F312, F313, and F314 of the SQL Standard.</li>


<li>
<b>Deferrable constraints</b> - Constraint enforcement can now be deferred, typically to the end of a transaction. See the section on "constraintCharacteristics" in the Derby Reference Manual. See also features F721 and F492 of the SQL Standard.</li>


<li>
<b>WHEN clause in CREATE TRIGGER</b> - An optional WHEN clause has been added which determines which rows fire a trigger. See the section on this clause in the Derby Reference Manual. See also feature T211-05 of the SQL Standard.</li>


<li>
<b>Rolling log file</b> - The Derby diagnostic log can now be split across a sequence of files. See the section on the derby.stream.error.style property in the Derby Reference Manual.</li>


<li>
<b>Experimental Lucene support</b> - Derby text columns can now be indexed and queried via Apache Lucene. See the section on the optional luceneSupport tool in the Derby Tools and Utilities Guide.</li>


<li>
<b>Simple case expression</b> - The "simple" and "extended" syntax for CASE expressions has been added. See the section on the CASE expression in the Derby Reference Manual. See also features F261-01, F262, and F263 of the SQL Standard.</li>


<li>
<b>Better concurrency for identity columns</b> - The concurrency of identity columns has been boosted. See the detailed release note for DERBY-6542 below.</li>


<li>
<b>New ij HoldForConnection command</b> - A new ij command has been added to change the default cursor holdability to "keep cursors open after commit." See the section on the HoldForConnection command in the Derby Tools and Utilities Guide.</li>


<li>
<b>Standard syntax for altering column nullability</b> - Standard syntax has been added for altering the nullability of columns. See the section on ALTER TABLE in the Derby Reference Manual. See also feature F383 of the SQL Standard.</li>


</ul>

  SUMMARIZE THE ISSUE. This is a one line, one sentence summary of the
  issue. It serves as the title for the issue in the Issues section of
  the full Release Notes.

  For instance:

  Applications may no longer open two InputStreams on the same ResultSet column.
-->


<h4>Summary of Change</h4>

<p>
More type mismatches are detected in THEN and ELSE clauses of CASE
expressions.
</p>


<!-- 
  DESCRIBE WHAT IT IS THAT THE USER ACTUALLY SEES WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS.

  For instance:

  In the previous release, applications were able to open two
  InputStreams on the same column. Depending on how these streams
  interacted, the value siphoned out of the column was erratic. Now
  Derby raises a SQLException when the application attempts to create
  the second InputStream.
-->


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>

<p>
If a CASE expression has a THEN clause or an ELSE clause that consists
of an explicitly typed NULL, and the type is not compatible with all
the other THEN and ELSE clauses of the CASE expression, an exception
will be thrown.
</p>


<p>
For example, the following CASE expression
</p>


<pre>
CASE
  WHEN a=b THEN 1
  ELSE CAST(NULL AS CHAR(10))
END
</pre>


<p>
will cause the following error
</p>


<pre>
ERROR 42X89: Types 'CHAR' and 'INTEGER' are not type compatible.
Neither type is assignable to the other type.
</pre>


<p>
In Derby versions from 10.3 to 10.10, the same expression would have
succeeded, and it would have evaluated either to 1 or to NULL with
type INTEGER.
</p>

<!-- 
  OPTIONAL: DESCRIBE INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH PREVIOUS RELEASE, IF ANY.

  For instance:

  Applications which open two InputStreams on the ResultSet column now
  fail.

<!--h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>
<p>
????
</p-->


<!-- 
  DESCRIBE WHY THE CHANGE WAS MADE.

  For instance:

  The previous behavior violated the JDBC standard. The new behavior
  is correct.
-->


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>

<p>
The old behaviour was unintended and could hide bugs in SQL statements.
</p>


<!-- 
  OPTIONAL: DESCRIBE HOW TO REVERT TO THE PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR OR
  OTHERWISE AVOID THE INCOMPATIBILITIES INTRODUCED BY THIS CHANGE.

  For instance:

  Users must recode applications which open multiple streams on the same column.
-->


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>

<p>
Applications that cast NULL to an incorrect type in a THEN or ELSE
clause, should rewrite that clause to use either an implicitly typed
NULL or an explicitly typed null of a type compatible with the other
THEN or ELSE clauses.
</p>


<p>
For example, the failing expression mentioned above could be rewritten
to the following:
</p>


<pre>
CASE
  WHEN a=b THEN 1
  ELSE NULL
END
</pre>


<p>
The NULL in the ELSE clause will get its type inferred from the type
of the THEN clause. That is, INTEGER.
</p>


<p>
If an explicitly typed NULL is preferred, the expression could also be
rewritten to the following:
</p>


<pre>
CASE
  WHEN a=b THEN 1
  ELSE CAST(NULL AS INTEGER)
END
</pre>

-->


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>

<p>
You can no longer change an identity column as follows:
</p>


<pre>
<b>
alter table MyTable alter column MyIdentityColumn default 99;
</b>
</pre>


<h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>

<p>
Previously, that statement would have added a default to
MyTable.MyIdentityColumn and the column would have ceased to be an
identity column.
</p>


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>

<p>
The previous behavior violated the SQL Standard.
</p>


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>

<p>
Applications which need to change an identity column into a non-identity
column with a default should be re-coded to do something like this:
</p>


<pre>
<b>
alter table MyTable add column dummy int default 99;
update MyTable set dummy = MyIdentityColumn;

alter table MyTable drop column MyIdentityColumn;
rename column MyTable.dummy to MyIdentityColumn;
</b>
</pre>

<h3>
<a name="Note for DERBY-6542"></a>Note for DERBY-6542</h3>
<div>


<h4>Summary of Change</h4>

<p>
Identity columns are now backed by internal sequence generators.
</p>


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>

<p>
In previous releases, identity values were managed in the heavily used
SYS.SYSCOLUMNS table. This caused lock contention among insert
statements.
</p>


<h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>

<p>
After hard-upgrading to 10.11, identity columns will now be backed by
internal sequence generators. This should reduce lock contention among
insert statements. It also means that identity
columns now pre-allocate ranges of upcoming values, just as sequences do. Applications
should take extra care to shutdown databases gracefully before
exiting. If an application crashes or does not close its databases
gracefully, then the unused, pre-allocated identity values will
leak; the user will see a gap between the last identity value
inserted before the crash and the first identity value inserted after
restarting the application.
</p>


<p>
In addition, after hard-upgrading to 10.11, users will no longer be
able to query the SYS.SYSCOLUMNS table in order to discover the next
value which will be inserted into an identity column. Instead, users
should use the new SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_PEEK_AT_IDENTITY() system function.
Users should never directly query SYS.SYSCOLUMNS or
SYS.SYSSEQUENCES. Directly querying these catalogs will acquire read locks
which may throttle application throughput.
</p>


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>

<p>
This change was made in order to improve the throughput/performance of inserts
into tables which have identity columns.
</p>


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>

<p>
After hard-upgrading to 10.11, be sure that your application closes
its databases gracefully so that you do not leak unused, pre-allocated
identity values. Individual databases may be closed
via the <i>shutdown=true</i> attribute:
</p>


<pre>
<b>
DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:derby:myDatabase;shutdown=true" );
</b>
</pre>


<p>
Alternatively, all open databases may be closed by shutting down the engine:
</p>


<pre>
<b>
DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:derby:;shutdown=true" );
</b>
</pre>


<p>
If your application is prone to ungraceful crashes and you cannot
tolerate leaking unused, pre-allocated identity values, then you can
adjust the maximum number of unused values per identity column. You
can do this be setting the <i>derby.language.sequence.preallocator</i>
database property. The default setting for this property is 100:
</p>


<pre>
<b>
call syscs_util.syscs_set_database_property( 'derby.language.sequence.preallocator', '10' );
</b>
</pre>


<p>
In addition, after hard-upgrading to 10.11, applications should be
adjusted so that they call
SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_PEEK_AT_IDENTITY() in order to discover the next value which
will be inserted into an identity column. Applications should no
longer directly query SYS.SYSCOLUMNS for this information:
</p>


<pre>
<b>
values SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_PEEK_AT_IDENTITY( 'APP', 'MYTABLE' );
</b>
</pre>

  For instance:

  In the previous release, applications were able to open two

  interacted, the value siphoned out of the column was erratic. Now
  Derby raises a SQLException when the application attempts to create
  the second InputStream.
-->


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>


<p>
Apache Derby has built-in logarithmic and hyperbolic functions that
live in the SYSFUN schema. Most, but not all, of these functions are
implemented as calls to the corresponding methods in
the <tt>java.lang.StrictMath</tt> class. In this release, more
functions than before use the methods in
the <tt>java.lang.StrictMath</tt> class.
</p>


<p>
Specifically, the implementation of the LOG10, COSH, SINH and TANH
functions have changed, and for some input values the values returned
by those methods have changed.
</p>


<p>
For example, the function call <tt>LOG10(1000)</tt> would return
<tt>2.9999999999999996</tt> in the previous versions. In this version,
it will return <tt>3.0</tt>.
</p>


<p>
The function call <tt>TANH(1000)</tt> would fail with
</p>


<pre>
ERROR 22003: The resulting value is outside the range for the data type DOUBLE.
</pre>


<p>
in previous versions. In this version, it will succeed and
return <tt>1.0</tt>.
</p>

<!-- 
  DESCRIBE WHY THE CHANGE WAS MADE.

  For instance:

  The previous behavior violated the JDBC standard. The new behavior
  is correct.
-->


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>


<p>
Using the <tt>java.lang.StrictMath</tt> class instead of custom
implementations makes the functions return more accurate results. It
also fixes issues where the custom implementations experienced
overflow in intermediate results and failed instead of returning a
result.
</p>

<!-- 
  OPTIONAL: DESCRIBE HOW TO REVERT TO THE PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR OR
  OTHERWISE AVOID THE INCOMPATIBILITIES INTRODUCED BY THIS CHANGE.

  For instance:

  Users must recode applications which open multiple streams on the same column.
-->


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>


<p>
The new implementations are used automatically after upgrade without
any changes to the application. If your application uses any of the
affected functions, you should check that it doesn't depend on these
functions returning the exact same results before and after the
upgrade.
</p>


<p>
If one of the affected functions is used in the generation expression
of a generated column, the value of the generated column will not be
recalculated automatically on upgrade. It will be recalculated when a
column referenced in the generation expression is updated, or if the
generated column is updated to its <tt>DEFAULT</tt> value. To force
the generated values to be recalculated sooner after upgrade, you can
issue an UPDATE statement such as:
</p>


<pre>
UPDATE t SET generated_column = DEFAULT
</pre>

<h4>Summary of Change</h4>

<p>
Privileges required for INSERT and DELETE statements have changed.
</p>


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>

<p>
Fewer privileges are now required to execute INSERT and DELETE statements.
</p>


<h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>

<p>
In previous versions, INSERT and DELETE statements demanded that the
user enjoy EXECUTE privilege on functions and USAGE privilege on types
mentioned by the target table's check constraints, generated columns, and triggers.
Those privileges are no longer required by INSERT and DELETE statements.
INSERT and DELETE statements which previously failed due to
insufficient privileges may succeed now.
</p>


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>

<p>
This change makes Derby conform better to the SQL Standard.
</p>


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>

<p>
Security may now be tightened for applications which run with SQL authorization enabled.
Those applications may revoke EXECUTE and USAGE privileges which are no longer necessary in order
to run INSERT and DELETE statements.

<h4>Summary of Change</h4>

<p>
Privileges required for UPDATE statements have changed.
</p>


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>

<p>
In previous versions, UPDATE statements demanded that the user enjoy
UPDATE privilege on all columns from the target table which were
mentioned in the WHERE clause. Now Derby requires SELECT privilege on
those columns, instead.
</p>


<h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>

<p>
In previous versions, UPDATE statements demanded more privileges than
the SQL Standard required. In particular, UPDATE statements required...
</p>


<ul>

<li>...UPDATE privilege on columns from the target table which
  were mentioned in the WHERE clause.</li>

<li>...EXECUTE privilege on functions and USAGE privilege on
  types mentioned by the table's generation clauses, CHECK
  constraints, and UPDATE triggers.</li>

</ul>


<p>
Now Derby no longer demands these overbroad privileges. However, Derby
does require SELECT privilege instead of UPDATE privilege on columns
from the target table which are mentioned in the WHERE clause.
</p>


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>

<p>
This change makes Derby conform better to the SQL
Standard.
</p>


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>

<p>
In applications which run with SQL authorization enabled, an UPDATE
statement may now fail because the application has not granted the
user SELECT privilege on all target table columns mentioned in the
statement's WHERE clause. Those applications should grant users the
appropriate SELECT privileges.
</p>


<p>
In addition, applications may now tighten their security by revoking
UPDATE, EXECUTE, and USAGE privileges which are no longer necessary in
order to run UPDATE statements.

<h4>Summary of Change</h4>

<p>
Derby no longer runs on Java 5 and CDC.
</p>


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>

<p>
Previous releases of Derby ran on Java 5 and on the small device CDC
platform. The 10.11 release family only runs on Java 6 and higher JVMs.
</p>


<h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>

<p>
Applications currently running on Java 5 or CDC will not be able to
use Derby 10.11. Customers must upgrade their Java platform before
installing Derby 10.11.
</p>


<p>
Previously, Derby's public javadoc included two branches: one for
applications which ran on Java 5 and CDC, and another for applications
which ran on Java 6 and higher. Now there is one set of public javadoc
intended for use on all supported JVMs.
Applications are encouraged to use the following Derby DataSources
when running on a full Java SE/EE JVM:
</p>


<ul>

<li>ClientConnectionPoolDataSource</li>

<li>ClientDataSource</li>

<li>ClientXADataSource</li>

<li>EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource</li>

<li>EmbeddedDataSource</li>

<li>EmbeddedXADataSource</li>

</ul>


<p>
...and the following DataSources when running on Java 8's
small-device compact profile 2:
</p>


<ul>

<li>BasicClientConnectionPoolDataSource40</li>

<li>BasicClientDataSource40</li>

<li>BasicClientXADataSource40</li>

<li>BasicEmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource40</li>

<li>BasicEmbeddedDataSource40</li>

<li>BasicEmbeddedXADataSource40</li>

</ul>


<p>
For backward compatibility reasons, Derby continues to include the
following DataSources. However, they are vacuous extensions of their
superclasses now and may be removed in the future. Applications are
encouraged to migrate away from these DataSources and to use the
DataSources listed above instead:
</p>


<ul>

<li>ClientConnectionPoolDataSource40</li>

<li>ClientDataSource40</li>

<li>ClientXADataSource40</li>

<li>EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource40</li>

<li>EmbeddedDataSource40</li>

<li>EmbeddedXADataSource40</li>

</ul>


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>

<p>
The older Java platforms are no longer being actively developed and
they may contain well-known security vulnerabilities. The
Java community is encouraged to migrate to modern, more secure JVMs which are
being actively developed. Users interested in running Derby on small
devices are encouraged to use Java 8's compact profile 2.
</p>


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>

<p>
Customers who use Java 5 or CDC will need to upgrade their
Java platform if they want to use features introduced by Derby
10.11. Applications are encouraged to migrate to the supported
DataSources listed above.

<h4>Summary of Change</h4>

<p>

Due to a bug introduced in Derby 10.8, the serialized version number
of the class EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource40 has changed in Derby 10.8 and later.

</p>


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>

<p>

Serialized objects for the class EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource40
produced by a Derby version 10.7 or older would not be readable with
this version of Derby.

</p>


<h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>

Derby releases newer than 10.8 can't read serialized data source
objects of the class EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource40 if those
objects were produced by Derby version 10.7 or older.

<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>

Accidental change.

<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>

N/A.

<div>


<h4>Summary of Change</h4>

<p>
Estimates have changed for the memory needed when hash-joining LOB-bearing tables.
</p>


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>

<p>
In previous releases, BLOBs and CLOBs held in memory were estimated to
take zero bytes. This would mean that hash joins with many objects of
type BLOB or CLOB could use a large amount of memory. That might improve
performance. However, it could cause OutOfMemory errors.  After the
change for DERBY-6096, hash joins may spill to disk earlier and thus
run slower.
</p>


<h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>

<p>
      BLOBs and CLOBs did not have a maximum memory limit for hash
joins. Now they have the default limit of 1048576 (1MB). This limit
can be overridden by setting the derby.language.maxMemoryPerTable property.
</p>


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>

<p>
Hash joins of LOB-bearing tables were raising OutOfMemory errors and
crashing the engine.
</p>


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>

<p>
      To allow BLOB/CLOB (and all) hash joins to use more memory, set
the Derby property  derby.language.maxMemoryPerTable to be the number of bytes you would like to allow for each hash join.

<h4>Summary of Change</h4>

<p>
Dropping objects mentioned by triggers now fails.
</p>


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>

<p>
When <tt>DROP TABLE/VIEW/PROCEDURE/FUNCTION/SYNONYM</tt> is invoked on
an object which is used by a trigger in a triggered SQL statement, the
<tt>DROP</tt> operation now fails and the object is not dropped. In previous releases, those operations would have succeeded, and an exception would have been thrown the next time the dependent trigger fired.
</p>


<p>
The message text of the new <tt>SQLException</tt> looks like this:
</p>


<pre>
ERROR X0Y25: Operation 'DROP TABLE' cannot be performed on object 'T' because TRIGGER 'TR' is dependent on that object.
</pre>


<p>
The new exception is thrown only if the trigger was created with
version 10.11 or higher. If the dependent trigger was created with an older version, the <tt>DROP</tt> operation will succeed, and an exception will be thrown the next time the trigger fires.
</p>

<!-- 
  DESCRIBE WHY THE CHANGE WAS MADE.

  For instance:

  The previous behavior violated the JDBC standard. The new behavior
  is correct.
-->


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>

<p>
The previous behavior dropped objects and made other objects invalid. That caused subsequent errors. The new behavior helps prevent such problems.
</p>


<p>
Also, the new behavior makes
<tt>DROP TABLE/VIEW/PROCEDURE/FUNCTION/SYNONYM</tt> consistent with
<tt>DROP TYPE/SEQUENCE/DERBY AGGREGATE</tt>, <tt>ALTER TABLE ... DROP
COLUMN</tt> and <tt>REVOKE</tt>. Those statements already failed when there was a dependent trigger.
</p>

<!-- 
  OPTIONAL: DESCRIBE HOW TO REVERT TO THE PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR OR
  OTHERWISE AVOID THE INCOMPATIBILITIES INTRODUCED BY THIS CHANGE.

  For instance:

  Users must recode applications which open multiple streams on the same column.
-->


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>

<p>
Applications that drop objects used in triggered SQL statements, must drop the dependent trigger before dropping the dependency.

  SUMMARIZE THE ISSUE. This is a one line summary of the issue.

  For instance:

  Applications may no longer open two InputStreams on the same ResultSet column.
-->


<h4>Summary of Change</h4>


<p>CASE expressions require at least one result expression with a
  known type.</p>

<!-- 
  DESCRIBE WHAT IT IS THAT THE USER ACTUALLY SEES WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS.

  For instance:

  In the previous release, applications were able to open two
  InputStreams on the same column. Depending on how these streams
  interacted, the value siphoned out of the column was erratic. Now
  Derby raises a SQLException when the application attempts to create
  the second InputStream.
-->


<h4>Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change</h4>


<p>
Earlier versions allowed CASE expressions where all the result
expressions (then THEN and ELSE clauses) were untyped <tt>NULL</tt>s
or a mix of untyped <tt>NULL</tt>s and untyped parameters. Now the
following error will be raised when an application evaluates such an
expression:
</p>


<pre>
ERROR 42X87: At least one result expression (THEN or ELSE) of the CASE expression must have a known type.
</pre>


<!-- 
  OPTIONAL: DESCRIBE INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH PREVIOUS RELEASE, IF ANY.

  For instance:

  Applications which open two InputStreams on the ResultSet column now
  fail.
-->


<h4>Incompatibilities with Previous Release</h4>


<p>
Applications that use a CASE expression with unknown return type now fail.
</p>

<!-- 
  DESCRIBE WHY THE CHANGE WAS MADE.

  For instance:

  The previous behavior violated the JDBC standard. The new behavior
  is correct.
-->


<h4>Rationale for Change</h4>


<p>
The SQL standard requires that at least one of the result expressions
is not an untyped <tt>NULL</tt>.
</p>


<p>
The previous behavior was inconsistent, as it accepted CASE statements
where all result expressions were untyped if they were
all <tt>NULL</tt>s or if they were a mix of <tt>NULL</tt>s and
parameters, but it failed if they all were parameters.
</p>


<p>
Also, it arbitrarily chose the type <tt>CHAR(1)</tt> if it could not
determine the type of the CASE expression. That type may or may not be
the type the application wants. It is safer to fail when the type
cannot be determined, and let the application specify explicitly which
type it wants.
</p>

<!-- 
  OPTIONAL: DESCRIBE HOW TO REVERT TO THE PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR OR
  OTHERWISE AVOID THE INCOMPATIBILITIES INTRODUCED BY THIS CHANGE.

  For instance:

  Users must recode applications which open multiple streams on the same column.
-->


<h4>Application Changes Required</h4>


<p>
If an application has a CASE expression that fails because of this
change, it should change the CASE expression so that at least one of
the THEN or ELSE expressions has a known type.
</p>


<p>
For example, the following expression
</p>


<pre>
CASE
  WHEN a = b THEN ?
  ELSE NULL
END
</pre>


<p>could be changed to</p>


<pre>
CASE
  WHEN a = b THEN CAST(? AS CHAR(1))
  ELSE NULL
END
</pre>


<p>to make it clear to the compiler that it actually wants the
  expression to return a value of type <tt>CHAR(1)</tt>.</p>

<p>It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded
files using the PGP and MD5 signatures.  MD5 verification ensures the
file was not corrupted during the download process.  PGP verification
ensures that the file came from a certain person.</p>


<p>The PGP signatures can be verified using
<a href="http://www.pgpi.org/">PGP</a> or
<a href="http://www.gnupg.org/">GPG</a>.
First download the Apache Derby
<a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/KEYS">KEYS</a>
as well as the <code>asc</code> signature file for the particular
distribution. It is important that you get these files from the ultimate
trusted source - the main ASF distribution site, rather than from a mirror.
Then verify the signatures using ...</p>


<pre>
% pgpk -a KEYS
% pgpv db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

<em>or</em>

% pgp -ka KEYS
% pgp db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

<em>or</em>

% gpg --import KEYS
% gpg --verify db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

</pre>


<p>To verify the MD5 signature on the files, you need to use a program
called <code>md5</code> or <code>md5sum</code>, which is
included in many unix distributions.  It is also available as part of
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html">GNU
Textutils</a>.  Windows users can get binary md5 programs from <a href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/">here</a>, <a href="http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/">here</a>, or
<a href="http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/">here</a>.</p>


<p>We strongly recommend that you verify your downloads with both PGP and MD5.</p>
