Run the Derby ij tool.
- On Windows platforms:
- java -jar %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbyrun.jar ij
ij version
- On UNIX Korn Shell platforms:
- java -jar $DERBY_HOME/lib/derbyrun.jar ij
ij version
Create the database and open a connection to it using the embedded
driver.CONNECT 'jdbc:derby:firstdb;create=true';
Create a table with two columns using standard SQL.CREATE TABLE FIRSTTABLE
(ID INT PRIMARY KEY,
NAME VARCHAR(12));
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
Insert three records.INSERT INTO FIRSTTABLE VALUES
(10,'TEN'),(20,'TWENTY'),(30,'THIRTY');
3 rows inserted/updated/deleted
Perform a simple select of all records in the table.SELECT * FROM FIRSTTABLE;
ID |NAME
------------------------
10 |TEN
20 |TWENTY
30 |THIRTY
3 rows selected
Preform a qualified select of the record with column ID=20.
SELECT * FROM FIRSTTABLE
WHERE ID=20;
ID |NAME
------------------------
20 |TWENTY
1 row selected
Load the SQL script ToursDB_schema.sql to
create the tables and other schema objects (this step is optional).
run 'ToursDB_schema.sql';

- The firstdb database directory.
Within the directory are the subdirectories seg0 (containing
the data files) and log (containing
the transaction log files).
- Description of connection command:
connect 'jdbc:derby:firstdb;create=true';
- connect - the ij command to establish a connection to
a database
- The Derby connection URL enclosed in single quotes:
- jdbc:derby: - JDBC protocol specification for the Derby
driver.
- firstdb - the name of the database, this can be any string.
Because no filepath is specified the database will be created in the default
working directory (DERBYDBS).
- ;create=true - The Derby URL attribute used
to create databases. Derby does not have an SQL create database command.
- ; (semicolon) - the ij command terminator.
