This section describes the core Derby functionality.
In addition, it details the most basic Derby deployment, Derby embedded in a Java application.
Attention:
Derby
Version 10.2
includes JDBC 4.0 functionality based on a pre-release of Java SE 6.
When you use Derby
with a Java SE 6 virtual machine,
Derby
will use its JDBC 3.0 drivers, just as with 1.4 and 1.5 virtual
machines. JDBC 4.0 is available only to developers who download Java SE
6 and use it to build in support for JDBC 4.0. The Release Notes explain
how to build the JDBC 4.0 functionality with
Derby
Version 10.2.
A follow-on Derby
release will include JDBC 4.0 functionality based on the final
JDBC 4.0 specification once Java SE 6 becomes generally available.
