provides
batch and shell scripts for users in Windows and UNIX environments that can
be used to start ij. By calling the appropriate script you will start ij and
be able to connect with a simple command. The scripts are
found in the bin directory of your
installation. You can also customize the ij scripts to suit your environment.
If you are using as
a client/server environment, start the Network Server before connecting to the
database. (See
"Starting the Network Server" in the
for details.) You can start
ij by running the ij scripts for your environment. Follow the instructions in
"Setting up your environment" in
to set the
and JAVA_HOME environment variables and to add
/bin
to your path. Then use the following command:
ij [-p propertyFile] [inputFile]
Alternatively, set the
environment variable, then use one of these commands:
(UNIX) java [options] -jar $DERBY_HOME/lib/derbyrun.jar ij
[-p propertyFile] [inputFile]
(Windows) java [options] -jar %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbyrun.jar ij
[-p propertyFile] [inputFile]
java [options] org.apache.derby.tools.ij
[-p propertyFile] [inputFile]
If you use the last form of the command, be sure that derbyrun.jar is in your
classpath (for pre-10.2 distributions derbytools.jar and usually derby.jar
were required in the classpath).
If you need to use other classes in addition to derbyrun.jar,
you cannot use the -cp argument or the CLASSPATH
environment variable to set CLASSPATH variables when you are using the
-jar argument to start the ij tool.
If you want to run the ij tool with a custom classpath,
you cannot use the -jar argument. Instead, you have to
use the full class name to start the ij tool
(java org.apache.derby.tools.ij).
The command line items are:
- java
Start the JVM.
- options
The options that the JVM uses. You can
use the -D option to set ij properties (see )
or system properties, such as properties.
- propertyFile
A file you can use to set ij properties
(instead of the -D option). The property file should be in the format created
by the java.tools.Properties.save methods, which is the same format as the
derby.properties file.
- inputFile
A file from which to read commands.
The ij tool exits at the end of the file or an exit command. Using an input
file causes ij to print out the commands as it runs them. If you reroute standard
input, ij does not print out the commands. If you do not supply an input file,
ij reads from the standard input.
