Progress during database upgrade

[Tim Dudgeon <td...@informaticsmatters.com>]

When the Derby database files are upgraded from one version to a newer 
version this can presumably take some time. In an embedded application 
it would be useful to provide feedback to the user of the progress of 
the upgrade (e.g. a progress bar).

Is there a way to monitor this process and get a percent complete figure 
  as the process runs?

thanks

Tim

There is currently no way to monitor the progress.

So far the Derby upgrades have avoided any need to touch user data
so the upgrades happen fairly quickly, so this has not been much
of an issue.  They have only involved:
creating new system catalogs
data upgrades to existing system catalogs
adding new data to existing system catalogs to support new features
