About locales
In the Derby documentation, we refer to three locales:
- Java System locale
This is the locale of your machine, which is automatically
detected by your JVM. For Derby and Derby tools, the Java system
locale determines the default locale.
- Database territory
This is the territory associated
with your database when it is created. By default, this is the same as the java system locale. The database territory determines
the language of database errors.
- Tools Session locale
This locale is associated with your session,
when using Derby
tools such as ij or dblook.
This locale determines the language of messages, as well as
the localized display format for numbers, dates, times, and timestamps.
You can use the
derby.ui.locale
property to specify the session locale that should be used.
