Apache Derby Client Driver Download
Divina Hujer
When you first launch SQuirreL it will create a directory called .squirrel-sql in your C:\Documents and Settings\ directory on Windows, or $HOME on Linux. This is where configuration settings and history are stored. The first screen that appears in the desktop will show two windows - the Drivers and the Aliases windows. The Drivers window willshow the Apache Derby Client and the Apache Derby Embedded drivers in thelist. If the jar files for either of these drivers, derbyclient.jar or derby.jar, are in your system CLASSPATH then they will have a blue check next to them.If not, a red 'X' will appear in front of them as shown below.
Now, click the List Drivers button and the Class Name pulldown list will be automatically populated. Select the Class Name of org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver from the list and click OK.
Now go to the Aliases window and click the blue '+' mark. Name the Aliassomething descriptive. I'm going to create a database using SQuirreL called FirstDB so I'll name the Alias Derby_Embedded_FirstDB. For the driver, pull down the list to select Apache Derby Embedded.For the URL, I want to create the FirstDB database so the URL will look like this:jdbc:derby:FirstDB;create=true.
In another command window, with derbyclient.jar and derbytools.jar in my classpath, I issued this command to launch ij, and then created a database called ClientDB under my C:/derby_home/databases/ directory. Notice the differencein the URL when connecting to the network server versus when making anembedded Derby connection.
Select the Apache Derby Client driver from the Drivers windowin SQuirreL, and then click the pencil icon again. Click the Extra Class Pathtab and then the Add button to browse to the derbyclient.jarfile. The client driver only contains one Class of driver, so the Class Namecategory should be populated with the correct value, org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver. Click OK and the blue check mark will appearnext to the Apache Derby Client value in the list now.
I downloaded the jar of Core Apache Derby database engine, which also includes the embedded JDBC driver (10.9.1.0). But that jar doesn't include the .class file of ClientDriver in the jdbc package. Why is that ? Where can i find this class file ? I need this file to connect to derby database from tomcat as the server.
The Derby network client provides network connectivity to the Derby Network Server. It is distributed as an additional jar file, derbyclient.jar, with an entirely independent code base from the embedded driver.
The Derby network client is a type 4, JDBC compliant Driver, which attempts to match the Derby Embedded JDBC driver as much as possible. Initially, it will have some differences from the embedded driver, for example, some SQL States will remain null and error messages will not be localized in the initial offering. Hopefully, over time the functionality of the two drivers will converge.
All functionality for the Derby network client is packaged in the derbyclient.jar file which will be added to the Derby distribution. The client application needs only to include the new jar and application classes in its classpath. derbyclient.jar has no dependencies on the tools, server, or derby database engine classes, nor do those classes depend on derbyclient.jar. Some new client classes are in the same package as the embedded driver, such as org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver, but the actual classes are contained only in the client jar file.
Prior to using the Derby network client, the derbyclient.jar file needs to be added to the classpath on the client. On Windows, to add the derbyclient.jar file to your classpath, use the following command:
When using the Derby client driver to connect to the Derby database, there are two general methodologies used to connect. The first method is to use the DriverManager. The second way to connect is to use one of the three DataSource classes listed above.
By default this application runs in embedded mode. If you pass it the derbyclient argument at run time, then it will create and connect to the database using the Derby Network Client JDBC driver instead.
Another option, called the "embedded server",allows an application to load the embedded JDBC driver for its own use andstart the Network Server to allow remote access by applications runningin other JVMs.The application that does this can access the database with either theembedded driver or the client driver.
Figure 3 depicts an application calledMyEmbedSrvApp that loads the embedded driver and alsostarts up the Network Server.This allows other applications,such as ijor SimpleApp using the Derby Network Client,to connect to the same database via a client JDBC driver.
While it is certainly possible for MyEmbedSrvApp to use the Derby Network Client JDBC driver, it's probably better for it to use the embedded driverbecause Derby Network Client JDBC database requests incur theoverhead of going out through the network.The embedded server architecture letsthe application that embeds Derby retain the advantages ofembedded access whilealso enabling remote access to the same database using another tool,such as ij.Thus, you end up with the best of both worlds: embedded and client/server.

In a client/server environment, the application demonstrates theuse of the Derby network client driver byconnecting to the Network Server and running the demo. Note that the clientdrivers allow multiple instances of the application to run at the same time.However, the SQL operations performed by this demo will cause failures whenmultiple simultaneous instances of the application are run. Use of a clientdriver to connect to the Network Server in this application is intended only todemonstrate this type of connection. The SimpleApp demo is not suited forsimultaneous executions because it creates and drops the table on which itoperates.
To remove the effects of running the demo program, simply delete the database directory (derbyDB) and derby.log. Note that if you are running the demo in a client/server environment you most likely need to shut down the Derby Network Server before being able to delete the database directory.How to run this sample application in an embedded environment The Derby embedded driver is a JDBC driver included in binary distributions of Apache Derby, in the directory $DERBY_HOME/lib/. The embedded driver should be used when you want to run Derby in the same JVM as your application, for example when no direct network access to the database system is needed.
You will need to set up both the client process and the serverprocess to run the demo application as a client connecting to the Network server.The Network Server needs to be running before you can connect using a clientdriver. This demo includes support for the Derby client driver.
The Derby client driver is a JDBC driver included in binary distributions of Apache Derby, in the directory $DERBY_HOME/lib/. It is recommended that you use this driver to connect to the Derby Network Server, as this client driver is developed and maintained by the Apache Derby development community.
Setting the login timeout by using DriverManager.setLoginTimeout(int
seconds) also affects the amount of time the client driver is waiting
for a query to finish. For instance, setting the login timeout to 10
seconds will result in any queries taking more than 10 seconds to fail
with the following exception:
In your ECLIPSE_ROOT/plugins folder, you should have a foldernamed org.apache.derby.core_10.2.2. Copy the filederbyclient.jar from that folder to your TOMCAT_ROOT/lib folder (ifyou're using Tomcat 5.x, install into TOMCAT_ROOT/common/lib). Thisinstalls the Derby JDBC driver into Tomcat for use in a DataSource.
2. Network Server Engine: This engine allows multiple clients to connect to a single Derby instance over a network using JDBC or ODBC drivers. It provides better scalability and concurrency control compared to the embedded engine. The network server engine is suitable for multi-user environments, client-server architectures, and web-based applications.
2. Network Client Driver: This driver communicates with the Derby Network Server, allowing multiple clients to connect to a single database instance concurrently. It is suitable for larger-scale applications where remote access, scalability, and security are important. Example usage:
You can run derby in embedded mode using Java application (using embedded driver). If you deploy Derby in embedded mode, the database engine will run in the same JVM as the Java application. It starts and stops with the application. You can access the database only with this application.
On clicking the selected link, you will be redirected to the Distributions page of apache derby. If you observe here, derby provides distributions namely, db-derby-bin, db-derbylib.zip, db-derby-lib-debug.zip, and db-derby-src.zip.
If you want to request the Derby network server using network client, make sure that the server is up and running. The class name for the Network client driver is org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver and the URL is jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/DATABASE_NAME;create=true;user=USER_NAME;password=PASSWORD".
