David Van Couvering (Sun Microsystems) & I are presenting at JavaOne this year. The title and abstract are: TS-3154 Introduction to Apache Derby Apache Derby is a 100% Java™ technology-based open source database. It is an excellent fit for Java technology and web applications, because it is fully embeddable; requires zero administration; has a small footprint; and is secure, easy-to-install, and fully standards-compliant. This session gives you an overview of the qualities and features of Derby, discusses the different scenarios and topologies in which it can be used, and provides an in-depth overview of Derby's support for the JDBC™ API and SQL and how it integrates with an application or web server. There is also a Derby/Eclipse tutorial from John Graham of Sybase. TS-4259 Watching Apache Derby: Eclipse Tools for Administration and Monitoring The Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) project provides open source frameworks and tools for data access, management, and development. Add in the application-hosting capabilities of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), along with the open source database Apache Derby, and a compelling stack for rapidly developing data-centric applications emerges. This presentation uses this stack in a case study building basic administration and performance monitoring tools for Apache Derby. Assuming only a basic understanding of Eclipse plug-in development, the session begins by describing the requirements a ...
