Welcome to the DB Derby Wiki

What is Derby?
Derby is a relational database implemented completely in Java. It has a small footprint that allows it to be easily embedded into any Java application, disappearing from view and requiring no DBA administration. It also supports the more familiar client/server access model.
The best place to get started with Derby is to visit the [http://db.apache.org/derby Derby home page]. For questions about Derby, subscribe to the [http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_mail.html Derby mail lists].
