Welcome to the DB Derby Wiki

This wiki is part of the big Apache Wiki Farm. Derby Wiki page change notifications get sent to the derby-commits list.

What is Derby?

Derby is a relational database implemented completely in Java. It has a small footprint that allows it to be easily embedded into any Java application, disappearing from view and requiring no DBA administration. It also supports the more familiar client/server access model.

The best place to get started with Derby is to visit the Derby home page. For questions about Derby, subscribe to the Derby mail lists. However, keep in mind that this wiki site provides tons of useful information (updated almost daily) for both users and contributors. For example, you can start by checking out:
