free db for java

Thread view: 
Mr. X. - 02 Mar 2008 14:07 GMT
Hello,

I have found a free db for java : http://developers.sun.com/javadb/

Documents says that it is built-in in jdk 1.6.
How can I check that ?

Can I use it with Eclispe & Visual Editor ?

Need a code sample, please.

Thanks :)

It comes free with the JDK 1.6.0_04

When you install the JDK you will notice you have also install the DB.

You should see a directory like

C:\java\db-derby-10.1.2.1-bin

See this guide for how to get started:

O.K. next step I will install the jdk 1.6 ...

No - it comes bundled with JRE and JDK.

after installing JDK 1.6, as I have described.

In "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\db\demo\databases\toursdb" there are
two folders :log & seg0.
but there are no files includes.

also in folder :
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\lib" there is not any file I know.

I didn't succeed using the db yet, and I don't know whether using it is
easy, and whether it got tools to manage the db, but I hope visual editor
supports SDK 1.6 ,
otherwise I am in problem ... or I give up to some other good db.

Thanks :)

O.K.
I think I getting in progress ...
JavaDB is on directory : C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaDB
I have looked at the control panel, and found the version : 10.3.1.4.

I need to link it to Eclipse (My current links are jre 1.5 & visual editor
1.3).
I need some help, how to link it and use it, please.

Thanks :)

Good reference.

about the link :
http://db.apache.org/derby/integrate/plugin_help/nature.html

I didn't see the appache derby on the menu.
(I have ECLIPSE 3.3.1.1).

(Is it plug-in ... I didn't understand how to represent it in menu,
even I didn't figure out how to do plug-in installation in eclipse).

Thanks :)
Mr. X. - 06 Mar 2008 16:46 GMT
Solved !

I navigated to http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html
and put "derby core plugin" & "derbi ui plugin" to plugins directory of
eclipse.
(Why didn't you just say so before ...)

I think I will manage from now.

Thanks a lot :)
