Derby properties The properties are used for configuring the system and database, as well as for diagnostics such as logging statements, and monitoring and tracing locks. propertiesoverview, Derby

The table lists all the core properties.

For information on how to set properties, see "Setting Derby properties" in the .

When setting properties that have boolean values, be sure to trim extra spaces around the word true. Extra spaces around the word true cause the property to be set to false, regardless of its previous setting.

To disable or turn off a database-wide property setting, set its value to null. To determine the result of this action, recall that the search order for properties is as follows (as stated in "Precedence of properties" in the ).

  1. [*] System-wide properties set programmatically (as a command-line option to the JVM when starting the application or within application code)
  2. Database-wide properties
  3. [*] System-wide properties set in the derby.properties file

[*] Not consulted if is set to true.

Setting the database-wide property to null has the effect of removing the property from the list of database properties and restoring the system property setting from derby.properties if there is one. As always, if no value can be determined from the search, the built-in default applies.

For example, the following code fragment turns off a previous database-wide setting of the property:

Statement s = conn.createStatement(); s.executeUpdate("CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY(" + "'derby.database.fullAccessUsers', null)");

If the property is a static one, the null setting does not take effect until you reboot the database. Moreover, the static property cannot be disabled after it has been enabled, even with a reboot.

summarizes the general properties. In this table, S stands for system-wide, D stands for database-wide, and C indicates the value persists with newly created conglomerates. X means yes.
