Running ij
The Derby ij tool
is a JDBC tool that you can use to run scripts or interactive queries against
a Derby database.
- Choose the method that you can use to run the ij script:
| Method |
When to Use |
Command |
| Run ij as a standalone command. |
Use this method if you are relatively new to the Java programming
language and new to Derby. |
You must set
your environment variables before you can run the ij tool
using this method. To run the ij script from the command
line use:ij
You must add the DERBY_HOME/bin directory
in your PATH environment variable before you can run the ij tool.
The ij script
sets up the environment variables like CLASSPATH and starts the ij tool.
|
| Run ij using the jar file that is located in the
directory where ij resides. |
Use this method if you are new to Derby,
but are familiar with the Java programming language. |
You must set the DERBY_HOME environment
variable before you can run the ij tool using this method. On
UNIX, the command is: java -jar $DERBY_HOME/lib/derbyrun.jar ij
On
Windows, the command is:
java -jar %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbyrun.jar ij
|
| Run ij using the java command. |
Use this method if you are familiar with both the Java programming
language and Derby, and
you have already set the java.exe file in your command execution
PATH. |
You must set your CLASSPATH. Use the steps specified in Manually setting the CLASSPATH environment variable.
Then specify the class name in the java command. For example:java org.apache.derby.tools.ij
|
- When you are ready to leave the ij tool, type:
ij> exit;
See the Derby Tools and Utilities Guide for
more information about the ij tool.
