Acceptance Criteria (Required on creation):

• H2 is updated to a version > 2.1.120
• Support for the new H2 minor version is backported to 7.17, if it doesn't require codechanges that are incompatible with H2 2.0 (i.e. we do not have to distinguish in the code between the versions)

Hints (optional):

• Version 2.1.212 was released in April
• Also make sure that this version is still compatible with Java 8 (confer https://github.com/h2database/h2database/issues/3308)
