Details

    Description

      The Developer's Guide and Reference Manual information on the bootPassword and encryptionKey attributes doesn't state (not prominently, anyway) that these properties are mutually exclusive, as Rick Hillegas points out in his 6/8/2012 comment on DERBY-5622. This information should be included in the documentation for these properties.

      In general, the topics on database encryption attributes need additional information, corrections, and examples.
