Apache Derby, an Apache DB subproject, is an open source relational database implemented entirely in Java and available under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Some key advantages include: * Derby has a small footprint -- about 2 megabytes for the base engine and embedded JDBC driver. * Derby is based on the Java, JDBC, and SQL standards. * Derby provides an embedded JDBC driver that lets you embed Derby in any Java-based solution. * Derby also supports the more familiar client/server mode with the Derby Network Client JDBC driver and Derby Network Server. * Derby is easy to install, deploy, and use.
