Before a JDBC application connects to a database, it must cause
the proper JDBC driver to be loaded in the Java session.
Derby provides
the following JDBC drivers for use with the
Derby database
engine:
- org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver
For embedded environments,
when Derby runs in the
same JVM as the application. This is commonly referred to as the embedded
drvier.
- org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver
For client/server environments
that use the Derby Network
Server. This is commonly referred to as the Network Client driver.
