Activities summary

We hope these activities have helped you understand the steps needed to create and access Derby databases. Although Derby is easy to set up and use, you will find that it has the features and reliability of much larger database systems. The examples presented here do not begin to scratch the surface of what can be done.

Please take a few moments to become familiar with the many online resources available to Derby users and developers by browsing the Derby Web site at Apache. Whether you are performing a general evaluation of Derby or have a specific need to address, the link to the WorkingWithDerby resources page is a good stepping stone to finding additional information of interest:

  • The Derby Quick Start page is a good reference page organized by area of interest.
  • You will find that many content-rich areas, such as the Derby Wiki and the Derby Users mailing list, are available to you.
  • If you are interested in how others are using Derby, see the Uses of Derby page on the Wiki. This page contains informational links to development projects and products that use Derby. When you implement a system using Derby, please add it to this list.
