Description

The documentation should indicate that you cannot perform a full upgrade on a database already booted in soft upgrade mode. If a database is already booted in soft upgrade mode, the upgrade=true attribute will have no effect. If a database is already booted in soft upgrade mode, you can shutdown the database with the shutdown=true attribute and then connect with upgrade=true to perform the upgrade.

Perhaps a good place for this might be at:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.4/ref/rrefattribupgrade.html
