Introduction to Derby Welcome to Derby! Derby is a full-featured, open source relational database management system (RDBMS) that is based on Java and SQL. Derby is written and implemented completely in the Java programming language. Derby provides users with a small-footprint standards-based database engine that can be tightly embedded into any Java based solution. Derby ensures data integrity and provides sophisticated transaction support. In the default configuration there is no separate database server to be installed or maintained by the end user. For more information on Derby, visit the Derby Web site at http://db.apache.org/derby. Before you install Derby, you should understand the deployment options and system requirements. Deployment options The Derby software distribution provides two basic deployment options (also referred to as frameworks), the simple embedded option and the Derby Network Server option. System requirements Derby is a database engine written completely in Java. The database will run in any certified Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Product documentation for Java DB The Java DB product documentation consists of the Java DB manuals and the API reference.
