Answer 1

In case you want to have a file based database in Derby , you should download , Derby

Unzip the file. Run startNetworkServer.bat inside bin directory. It will start derby server which will listen to port no 1527 .

Now in your java code :

DriverName= org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver

ConnectionString =jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/schema_name;create=true

Morover,you can also query the derby DB like we do in oracle.

run ij.bat located inside bin directory. then on the prompt :

connect 'specify connection url here'

and you can fire the sql queries like the oracle prompt.

In case you want to run derby server on different port , execute the following command at cmd :

startnetworkserver.bat -p 1234
