jdbc-derby

Apache Derby, an Apache DB subproject, is an open source relational database implemented entirely in Java.

Some key advantages include:

• small footprint -- about 2.6 megabytes for the base engine and embedded JDBC driver.
• Derby is based on the Java, JDBC, and SQL standards.
• provides an embedded JDBC driver that lets you embed Derby in any Java-based solution.
• supports client/server mode with the Derby Network Client JDBC driver and Derby Network Server.
• Derby is easy to install, deploy, and use.

Java DB

Java DB is Oracle's supported distribution of the Apache Derby open source database. It supports standard ANSI/ISO SQL through the JDBC and Java EE APIs. Java DB is included in the JDK since Java 6 (1.6).

See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javadb/overview/index.html

Usage

To make the driver accessible to JDBC and ActiveRecord code running in JRuby :

require 'jdbc/derby'
Jdbc::Derby.load_driver

For backwards compatibility with older (<= 10.6.2.1) versions of the gem use :

require 'jdbc/derby'
Jdbc::Derby.load_driver(:require) if Jdbc::Derby.respond_to?(:load_driver)
