Netbeans & Databases

This document demonstrates how to set up a connection to Sun's Java DB (which is based on the Apache Derby database) in NetBeans IDE. Once a connection is made, you can begin working with the database in the IDE, allowing you to create tables, populate them with data, run SQL queries, and more.

The Java DB database is Sun's supported distribution of Apache Derby. Java DB is a fully transactional, secure, standards-based database server, written entirely in Java, and fully supports SQL, JDBC API, and Java EE technology. The Java DB database is packaged with the Sun Java System Application Server 9.0, Platform Edition, and is now included in JDK 6 as well.
